Description:
Compcooler Racing Driver Cooling System (RDCS) is a rugged vehicle-based refrigeration
cooling unit and specially designed for Racing drivers body cooling in the extreme hot
ambient. Maintain energy, extend endurance, ensure focus, to reduce lap times for driver
ultimately.
Compact Micro Refrigeration Chiller unit pumps the cold liquid to cooling vest and
continuously flow around the body, it will keep user’s body temperature at a conformable
range to against heat stress. Chiller unit delivers up to 300W cooling capacity, user can set up
temperature from -5℃to 30℃(23℉to 86℉), once circulation liquid reaches to set point
temperature, system intellectually control the cooling capacity to that temperature. User may pre-
cool the unit and get the coldest liquid as he needs, 3” air intake device with fresh air flow to
increase the cooling performance in the hot condition. Iceless cooling unit, maintain free, this
model was operated by 12V vehicle power or 12V rechargeable battery.

Operation processes
Preparation
Chiller Unit Installation:
Unit could be installed on the flat surface at corner or confined spaces, make sure it is a well-
ventilated area, no blocks for fresh air inlet portal on the top panel and hot air outlet port on
the side panel.
Quick Release Base Installation:
User may fix the chiller on the flat surface by screw and nut.
Power Connection
One power cord was provided with chiller, it is for 12V DC ONLY, voltage range 11V to 16V.
User may connect it with 12V vehicle power.
DO NOT plug the chiller with AC input!

Compcooler, keep your body cool and comfortable in harsh conditions.
9
Remote controller connection
User may remove or replace the controller from chiller unit by disconnect or connect 5 pins
aero connector.
Cooling Garment Connection
User may connect the chiller with Compcooler Cooling Vest by quick release fitting.
Or user may remove the quick fitting from extension hose and replace the new fittings to
compatible with other cooling garment.
Circulation Liquid
User needs to fill circulation liquid by twice.
The first time, remove the filler cap from top side, add liquid to full by funnel, connect the cooling
garment, turn on the pump and circulates the liquid from reservoir to cooling garment.
The second time, keep running and allow the liquid cooling garment fill with water for 30-60
seconds (without cooling), refill again to full (maybe couple times, be patient), then tight the filler
cap.
Clean or distilled water is fine if ambient more than 1℃
Deionized water for isolation request.
Anti-freeze liquid for ambient below 0℃.
DO NOT use salt water, caustic, corrosive or flammable fluids!
Refrigeration or Pre-cool Testing
User may turn on the system and start refrigeration, no pump circulation, temperature will down
in minutes. Cooling unit will be in standby mode once liquid temperature reaches to setting point.
Fresh Air Tubing Assembly
User may assemble 3”fresh air inlet tubing from top panel of chiller.

Compcooler, keep your body cool and comfortable in harsh conditions.
10
Operation Processes
1. Garment or Pad connection: Connect the extension tubing with liquid heating unit and liquid
cooling garment.
Once you hear a click, it’s in position.
2. Power Connection: connect the chiller with vehicle power, light the controller.
The cooling unit will be in standby mode.
3. Start cooling: user may press ON/OFF to start chiller, liquid temperature will go down to set
point in minutes.
pump is not working at this time.
4. Temp setting: user may press up and down to set up the temp for circulation liquid as need.
5. Start circulation:
User may press the pump to start or stop circulation. Please make sure the tubing is connected
(no kinks) before circulation.
Chiller Auto Control:
Chiller Stop: Liquid temperature 3℃(6℉) lower than setting
Chiller Restart: Liquid temperature 1℃(2℉) higher than setting

Compcooler, keep your body cool and comfortable in harsh conditions.

Clean and Maintenance
Chiller Unit:
Unplugged the power, use a clean damp cloth to clean the outside of chiller unit.
Use compressed air to remove dust and debris.
Reservoir cleaning
Please disconnect the extension tubing from chiller unit.
Empty the remain water or liquid from drain cap on the bottom, and open for dry.
Condenser clean
To keep the system at optimum cooling capacity, the condenser should be kept free of dust and
dirt, user may check and clean it if necessary.
Open the side panel and remove the fans, use 50-100psi compressed air to clean the
contamination.
Charging Refrigerant
(not recommend for uncertified operator)
If cooling capacity was decreased because of lack of refrigerant, user may vacuum the unit and
recharge 150g R134a refrigerant.
Liquid Cooling Garment:
Machine wash liquid heating and cooling garment using a front-loading wash machine with cold
water on a gentle/delicate cycle.
Note: DO NOT BLEACH, NO IRON, NO DRYER, TUMBLE DRY ON LOW
Chiller Unit Storage:
1. Turn off chiller unit, disconnect the power cord.
2. Disconnect the extension tubing.
3. Empty the circulation water from chiller unit by open bottom drain cap, then clean and
disinfect the reservoir, then tight the cap after open dry.
4. Pack the unit for storage.
Restart: after long term storage, please fill in clean water with less degerming agent, run system
over 10 minutes with cooling vest connection. Then empty the system and re-fill in the liquid as
need.

Compcooler, keep your body cool and comfortable in harsh conditions.

Components Renewal:
User may open side panel to replace the fans and pump if damaged.
User may disconnect the remote controller and replace the new one if damaged.
Battery Storage:
1. Shall be in the clean and dry ventilation room at temperature 0-35℃
2. Shall be keep out of fire or heat and avoid touching corrosion elements.
3. Shall be charged every 6 months during storage
4. Keep the battery out of children’s reach
Cautions:
1. Please confirm vehicle voltage is 12V DC before connect chiller unit.
2. Please confirm vehicle power 250W or 20A before operation.
3. Please do not turn ON/OFF to run to stops system frequently within a short period, it may
affect the refrigeration system, and significant enhance power consumption, reduce
cooling time.
4. Please do not block air inlet and outlet, it may cause the problem of compressor overheat
or less cooling capacity.
5. Please make sure cooling garments or vest be connected before start pump circulation, it
may cause unit leak because of pump pressure.
6. Please use anti-freeze liquid if temperature setting lower than 0℃
7. Please use Compcooler battery only to run the chiller unit.
8. Please do not run the system close to fire or under water.
