Robert@ Three Boys Farms gives a good overview on the Coolbot. I use the coolbot in my coolroom to keep grapes around 39 degrees F. before I crush. What I have to offer in terms of a review is a demystification of the product for any potential user that would like to know exactly how it works. To begin, it doesn't 'turbo-charge' your air-conditioner. This is largely hyperbole. There is definitely no magic involved.

The Coolbot consists of three probes, a thermometer, a temperature probe, and a heater probe all leading back into a single well sealed package. Here is how it works. After removing the grill from the AC unit you will locate the thermostatic sensor which is affixed to the cooling fins of the AC unit. This temperature sensor is naturally responsible for cycling the AC unit on and off. You will now take the AC's temperature probe and place it in contact with (secure beside) the Coolbot heater probe. The second probe on the Coolbot is a temperature sensor which is placed in the fins of the AC unit approximately where you removed the AC temp. probe.

The heater probe on the Coolbot is in direct contact with the AC's thermostat. The Coolbot heater probe simply heats up the AC's thermostat thereby causing the AC unit to sense a warmer temperature than what actually exists in the cool room. The second probe of the coolbot monitors the temperature of the AC fins so that the Unit doesn't ice up. Ron has taken an extremely simple concept, one that isn't wholly original and created an excellent, dependable, durable and vastly overpriced product that will do exactly what it warrants. I am very pleased with its performance.

Like Most intelligent farmers necessity and budget are always in play. The need for a commercially available refrigeration unit is part of all farms cool down and storage requirements, yet the availability of affordable

equipment to small farms does not exist, unless it is taken back to the purest form of design and function.

What Ron has done here is recognized that the limits imposed by residential A/C unit manufactures, specifically the

restriction of low temperatures by thermostatic control, can be manipulated. In designing the Cool-Bot he did several things;

1. energy conservation, large commercial units are power hogs,typically three phase 400-600 amps, and they are an antiquated, inefficient method of cooling, specifically taking copious volumes of cold air and moving it into a space that is usually poorly designed and has huge air leaks, the net result is waste, both in terms of energy, and product stored as air mass on leafy greens desiccates and wilts foliage, so unless your stored product is potatoes, you want coiling without excessive moisture robbing air mass. Cool-Bot delivers through your Energy Star unit, cold air without damaging the crop, and saves big money in energy costs, and efficiency.

2. Back up, when your space requires multiple units to achieve the desired level of cooling needed, you simply run more window units, again the often overlooked benefit here is the built in back up. If your commercial unit goes down, your product temps go up and spoil. The repair cost is high, and you still have one unit. With multiple Cool-Bots, you have an emergency back up in place, if a unit went down, the others can maintain temps for that period while you replaced that A/C unit, and since it has not been modified whatsoever, it is under a factory warranty. Now you have continued cooling during the repair or change out, something not offered by commercial refrigeration, with them your down, and your out.

3. Seasonal change. During cooler periods of the year with a multiple unit cooler you have the option of shutting down several of the A/C units for additional energy savings, with the big units, its on or off. So it is time to ask yourself, who brings the best things to life? not just those guys, but us farmers, we feed you, and increase your health with safe local foods, and design and build products that are frugal, and efficient. The highest praise a farmer or designer can receive is from his peers, and I highly recommend Cool-Bot to anyone, for a multitude of purposes. It is the only intelligent choice for efficient energy conscious cooling, and the only choice for 3 Boys Farm, a 365, 24/7 large grower of hydroponic and organic produce. Way to go Ron!

I have had a Coolbot in place about a month now. I am extremely pleased with its performance...It keeps my 6'X 9' walk in cooler at an average temperature of 38 F. Great product and a great savings (about 1/6th the cost) over installing a 2 part commercial refridgeration unit

Thanks Ron...nice unit...keep up the good work.
