The Kryo 2 person Ice Cooler System is a 18 Lt size Engel cooler which operates on 12V DC power and draws approximately 1.5 amps. It can be secured in its own mounting tray and comes has a 15cm electrical power cable ending with a cigarette lighter fitting.

The Engel Cooler is insulated with heavy-duty, closed-cell, EDM foam to keep the cooling water cold. All water connection fittings are dry-break which stops water flow. Water flow stops immediately when disconnected. Water connection fittings are also emergency release which means that they will disconnect when given a sharp pull.

The Kryo chiller holds ice and water. The cold water is pumped through an insulated water hose to the cooling garment and is then returned to the chiller where it is re-chilled by the ice. Ice absorbs a substantial amount of heat when it changes phase from ice to water. Ice chillers use body heat to melt the ice and heat the ice water. Melting a pound of ice requires 42 watts of heat. Raising the temperature of a pound of water from 32 to 70 degrees requires an additional 11 watts of heat. A good rule of thumb is that an ice chiller will provide 50 watts of cooling per pound of ice. Users typically require 125 to 175 watts of cooling per hour, depending on work load. The type of ice affects the amount of cooling the chiller delivers. Block ice contains the least air and provides the greatest amount of cooling, with ice cubes providing less and crushed ice providing the least.
