Exterior vehicular refrigeration device
A vehicle mounted refrigeration device comprising an outer shell, an inner shell nested in the outer shell, one or more heat sink plates attached to the inner shell, one of an insulating material and a vacuum spacing the inner shell from the outer shell, a control unit, and a compressor mounted to a vibration isolator.
1. An exterior vehicle refrigeration device comprising:
an outer shell;
an inner shell nested in the outer shell;
one or more heat sink plates attached to the inner shell;
one of an insulating material and a vacuum spacing the inner shell from the outer shell;
a control unit; and
a compressor mounted to a vibration isolator.
2. The refrigeration device of claim 1 , where a base of the inner shell slopes toward a side wall of the inner shell.
3. The refrigeration device of claim 1 , further comprising an inner ridge in the inner shell, and wherein the compressor is mounted beneath the inner ridge.
4. The refrigeration device of claim 1 further comprising a refrigerant circuit.
5. The refrigeration device of claim 4 where a condenser tubing of the refrigerant circuit is adjacent to the outer shell.
6. The refrigeration device of claim 4 where a condenser tubing of the refrigerant circuit is directly adjacent to an inner surface of the outer shell.
7. The refrigeration device of claim 6 where a layer of aerogel insulation covers the inner surface of the outer shell and the condenser tubing.
8. The refrigeration device of claim 6 where the condenser tubing is directly adjacent to an inner surface of one of a base of the outer shell and a back wall of the outer shell.
9. The refrigeration device of claim 8 where the condenser tubing is directly adjacent to the inner surface of both the base of the outer shell and the back wall of the outer shell.
10. The refrigeration device of claim 4 where a condenser tubing of the refrigerant circuit contained completely within the outer shell.
11. The refrigeration device of claim 4 where an evaporative tubing of the refrigerant circuit coils adjacent to the inner shell.
12. The refrigeration device of claim 11 where a layer of aerogel insulation covers the outer surface of the inner shell.
13. The refrigeration device of claim 1 wherein the control unit is controlled by a mobile device.
14. The refrigeration device of claim 1 further comprising an elevation bracket that releasable locks the refrigeration device to the vehicle, and spaces a base of the outer shell from the vehicle between 0.25 inches and 2.5 inches.
15. The refrigeration device of claim 1 , where a base of the inner shell slopes toward a side wall of the inner shell and toward a front wall or a back wall of the inner shell.
16. The refrigeration device of claim 1 where the control unit turns off the compressor if a voltage from the vehicle drops below 11.8 volts.
17. The refrigeration device of claim 1 where an evaporative tubing of a refrigerant circuit is integrated in the heat sink plate.
18. The refrigeration device of claim 1 where the heat sink plate forms a base of the inner shell, the heat sink plate being one of a different material and or a different thickness from walls of the inner shell.
