6 Technical description
The cooling units are suitable for use with 12 V or 24 V DC voltage and can therefore
be used for camping or on boats. Furthermore, you can connect them to a 230 V
mains supply via the rectifiers (see chapter “Accessories” on page 16).
When used on boats, the cooling unit can withstand a constant heeling of 30°.
The cooling unit must be used together with an evaporator. In addition, you can use
an accumulator with or without TEC control. The CS-NC15 comprises a cooling unit
and an evaporator.
Use the continuously variable thermostat on the evaporator to set the desired
temperature.
The accumulator and TEC program control ensure a high cooling capacity
and improve the unit’s efficiency. The accumulator is charged when there is
a sufficient supply of power (for example when powered by a mains adapter). In the
event of accumulator usage or under-voltage, the coolant is drawn from the
accumulator until it is empty. Thus, no power is taken from the battery during this
time.
The TEC program control always ensures that
• Cold energy is stored if there is excess electrical energy (external supply of power
by a generator).
• The coolant accumulator can be used at any time to ensure that the complete
battery power is used for other consumers.
• Stored cold energy is automatically retrieved to preserve the interior cooling
temperature of the cooling area, once the battery capacity is exhausted.

NOTE
Further information on the coolant accumulator can be found in chapter
“Use coolant accumulator” on page 27.
