Portable Fridge + Mini-Cooler = Mobile Refrigerators-to-Go
Somewhere between a camping cooler and a mobile mini-fridge, the idea is simple: break your standard refrigeration unit down into small modules that can be turned on or off as needed – and work as more efficient coolers-to-go as well.
How much of the time do you truly need to refrigerate and entire full-sized refrigerator filled with food? Space usage inside a typical fridge fluctuates depending upon what day of the week or month it is, whether you are having guests over and other factors.
However, one drawback: by separating the cooling spaces out into different modules, each fridge is less able to rely on the adjacent units to keep cool – further testing is likely needed to see just how sustainable and energy-saving this design really is.
