  • Australias first fridge.

    This cooler was one of Australias first cabinet coolers.

    Can be used with coal out of a fire , line the inner wall
    with coals , wet them down , and sit your cooler in the
    breeze.

      Camping coolers use the same method today, with a water absorbent material on the outside covered with perforated aluminum and plastic inside,

      Good for keeping your beer cool Bruce.

    A local as far out as Preston would be welcomed can transport it to them.
    I don't want to be set up as an engineer. I can get the pierce valves

    Is the compressor building pressure/creating a vacuum ok?

    With no valves on the pipework, it is classed as an 'hermetic system'
    You will need a line tap valve, recovery unit, cylinder and scales.
