BATTERY AND CHARGER NEVER SHIPPED

Icebox 12V Full System
September 22, 2023

Just ordered one of the iceBox units from all the good reviews at my local airport. We bought the gel packs and battery unit to precool the plane on the ramp, and couldn't be happier. Very impressed with the IceBox product

Great product for cooling my Beechcraft Bonanza! I bought this air conditioner for the hot summer months in Arizona, and its been working 100% since we've received it. 5 star rating from us, highly recommended - Rick

NOT WIRELESS !! It does cool down the cabin a few degrees for a while.

Icebox 12V Wireless Unit

One main issue is no lock for the top to the cooler. Any turbulence could spread water all into the cockpit.

I ordered the 24V version “full system” which included the cables, converter, and battery. The unit worked fine when plugged into aircraft power via the cigarette lighter. It doesn’t work at all, as in doesn’t turn on, when trying to use battery power. And yes, I charged the battery, and switched the control box to “batt”. I’m very disappointed. I wish I had never ordered it.

Q: Are the dimensions 12" W x 16" H x 22" L?

Per the supplier: Yes, that is accurate.

Q: Regarding the THE ICEBOX PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER: <br> 1. Is there any way to control the pump / fan without buying the wireless unit? <br><br> 2. Is the wireless infrared or radio freq? <br><br> 3. Does the cooled air pick up moisture from the unit or is it isolated like the arctic air units?

Per supplier: 1. For Wired Unit - Simply plug the power cord into any 12V cigarette style receptacle, and the Pump and Fan will turn on together.

2. Wireless is radio frequency and has a good range of use for any cabin.

3. The cooled air does not pickup any moisture. It is using an isolated radiator to actually dehumidify the air, and pump dry, cold air into the cabin.

Q: In the Q & A you talk about the “Aviator Kit”. I see no such reference to this kit. Is this considered the “Full System”. If I select full system what doe it all come with?

The aviator kit has been replaced with the Full system. Full system includes: wireless icebox, aux battery, pilot cable and air hose.

Q: How do you get the water out of the cooler? In the answer to a question you state, there is an exhaust water hose. In the manual, you state Dump the cold water... If the water can be pumped out of the cooler by using the exhaust water hose, does that hose come with the cooler?

The Icebox uses the internal pump to send the water out of the reservoir. The pilot can use the internal hose to send the water outside and dumping the heavy cooler is not needed.

Q: What is the price of gel packs?

The Gel packs are no longer available. Per the data sheet on the web page, the supplier now suggests using ice.

Q: Does it work without being connected to power, solely with the aux battery? In case you want to lower cabin temp without draining the airplanes battery.

This can work with the aux battery, a full charge will last one hour.
