Cooler Bag and DIY Thermos Bag

Summer is a great time when many people go out into the countryside with their families or friends. Many are faced with one problem: how to save products. With such a task will easily handle the bag thermos, cooler bag.

Summer residents are not accustomed to leave in stores the entire salary. Many things in the suburban area are made with their own hands. Here and the cooler bag can be made independently. However, first of all it is necessary to understand what is a miracle fridge, which is able to help many travelers.

A cooler bag is an item that helps keep food fresh for 12 hours. Externally, the bag is no different from its other "fellow". However, this product still has a little trick.

Many people at the mere mention of the phrase "battery cold" occurs one picture in my head: you need a special device that will perform the function of producing frost.

However, the cold battery can be made from scrap materials that are present in all homes.

To get it, pour ice into ice molds and put them in the freezer. As soon as the water hardens, it will be possible to start making ice bags.

In the package with the latch you need to put ice cubes, close the package. The second package will serve as protection against leakage, so the first package will have to be put in one more.

For their manufacture will need the following:

• empty containerwhere there were fizzy drinks;
• water (the amount of liquid depends on the size of the bottle);
• salt (6 tablespoons per 1 liter of water).

You need to make a strong solution with salt. Salt must be dissolved in water, after which the resulting solution should be frozen. Salt does not quickly melt the ice. This means that the bag will keep the cold in itself much longer.

This method of creating a refrigeration unit is recommended for families with small children. In the inner side of the diaper you need to pour water. You should wait until the liquid is well absorbed in the diaper itself. Baby hygiene will need to be cut. Gel weight should be put in a plastic bag with a clasp and put in the second bag. After that - send the finished package to freeze.

It is created on the basis of saline. The solution should be concentrated, which subsequently will increase its volume to 3 liters. Add wallpaper glue or gelatin to the diluted 3 liter liquid. Put the gel mass into the prepared container and put into the freezer. Gel battery melts much longer than ordinary ice.

Knowledgeable gardeners in their suburban areas use this tool as a fertilizer. From such an assistant in the country is easy to get a quality cooling element.

From nitrate, the air temperature can drop by twenty-three degrees.

The two ingredients (water and ammonium nitrate) are taken in the same proportions. In the prepared bottle you need to pour fertilizer and dilute with water. Coolant ready.

There is a second way to create this cooling element. Saltpeter is added to frozen water.The cooling effect of the battery on fertilizer thus will increase in time several times.

Chilled foods will not get warm in a bag with foil, and hot snacks will not cool. Any store building materials always has it in its range.

Aluminum or metallized foil and keeps the temperature in the bag. Such polyethylene is available with unilateral or bilateral coating. Bilateral foiled polyethylene has the best characteristics.

On the basis of the listed refrigeration tools, you can make a portable refrigeration chamber.

Thermal insulation properties of foam allow many masters to use it to create a portable refrigerator. Polyfoam is produced in different types, so some characteristics are different. DA conventional foam plastic consisting of pressed small granules is suitable for creating a thermal container.

It will not replace foiled polyethylene due to its thickness and lack of plasticity, but it is quite possible to make a provision container that can fit in the trunk of a car.

So, you need to prepare the following:

• Styrofoam;
• plywood;
• aluminum tape;
• furniture hinges for the cover;
• necessary locksmith tools.

First you need to make a box of plywood. What size and shape will be the box - this is decided by the master himself. You will need to attach the cover to the box with the help of loops. The corners and ends of the resulting box are places that must be treated with aluminum tape.

Polyfoam is cut to the size of the future container. It will be necessary to insert the finished part into the box and paste it. Cover the box with foil and reinforce with adhesive tape.

On the cover of the box - attach the foam and glue. The dimensions of the finishing material on the lid should be determined by taking into account the walls of the almost finished box.

Window insulation tape will make the product airtight, if it is laid around the perimeter of the cover.

At the bottom of the finished box you need to put the cold batteries (which have already been mentioned above).

Personal car has long been considered not a luxury, but a convenient means of transportation. If the suburban area is located not very far from the city or the family is small, then there are no large stocks of products for a country house. It is more difficult for those families who have children, elderly parents, if the vacation in the country is planned for a certain period.

How to make a box-fridge, you can learn from the previous part. It is worthwhile to elaborate on a portable refrigeration unit.

Need to cook:

• foiled polyethylene;
• aluminum tape;
• sports bag.

A sports bag usually has a rectangular shape.

Cut out parts from foil in two ways:

• Make one blank by the size of the bag (if the dimensions of polyethylene allow).
• Remove the dimensions of all the walls of the bag separately and cut them out of foil.

The pattern of the cooler case should be smaller than the bag. This will allow you to easily put the case in the bag.

In the first version of the refrigerator, you need to fold the finished parts - as a designer. You need to take a regular or special tape and reinforce the corners of the foil case.

The second version of the parts cut is formed in parts. The adhesive tape on the side seams is applied inside and out.

The walls of the container must be firmly in contact with each other, otherwise the "thermos" will not keep the created microclimate.

If the thermo foil is badly bent, then the cover can be made separately. You need to cut it from the base and attach it to the top of the bag with scotch tape.

Given the recommendations, you can make a cooler bag at home without any problems.

However, few people know how to multiply the efficiency of a portable refrigerator:

• The first advice is useful to those who travel a lot by car. The blanket will be a great helper, allowing you to keep the desired temperature in the bag. Just wrap it in a portable fridge.
• Direct rays of the sun will degrade the effectiveness of the bag. It should be kept away from sunlight.
• The best place for batteries is the bottom of the bag. If the products do not fit into the bag in such a position of the accumulators, then there is a fallback: you can enclose the products.

• Fine, if the products are chilled.
• The closer the products lie to each other, the slower the temperature inside the refrigerator will rise. The empty space in the bag must be filled with any container with water or a rolled up blanket.
• Before arriving at a place of rest, it is often better not to open the bag (if there is no such possibility, then it should be done as little as possible).

A bag designed to create a small refrigerator should be chosen first. Suitable and beach option. Only then get the material in the store for the case-refrigerator. Decide on the number of thermo foil. Cutting parts will need to do without cutting the handles.

After cutting it will turn out:

• walls - 2 parts;
• bottom - 1 detail.

If the bag does not have a large round bottom, then the foil walls can be joined using a sewing machine (if the thickness of the finishing material allows). In other cases, you need to use tape.

Not less interesting version of the refrigerator, where you can cool drinks, will be obtained from the following materials:

• A bucket where there was paint (from any material).
• Grid of metal (the calculation is carried out independently).
• Small cable ties (about 30 pieces).
• Masking tape

The sequence of all works:

• Eliminate the old paint in the bucket and paint it white with a spray can.
• On the case of the container draw three rows of circles with a diameter of 3-3.5 cm, you need to arrange them at a certain distance from each other.
• Using a hole saw, drill holes along the marked lines of the circles.
• Now you need to make compartments for drinks. Wrap a regular bottle (can) 2-3 times with a fine net, but not very tightly. Layers need to be tied together. Externally, the grid should resemble a cylinder - the size of the bottle.
• In the cylinder should put a napkin of terry cloth. At the bottom you need to put a piece of foam or absorbent fabric.
• In the bucket can accommodate multiple cells. This will be the parameter by which you can determine how many bottles will be cooled. If you are going to use a bucket for cooling, you need to moisten it with water.

White paint, which covered the walls of the bucket, will reflect the sun's rays, so that the temperature inside the dishes will not rise. Water will evaporate through the holes, due to which the desired microclimate will remain.

Most of all people who know about hiking are aware of karemat. Karemat resembles a rug with good thermal insulation. It is used as bedding in a sleeping bag.

First you need to prepare a mixture consisting of water and ammonium nitrate. The latter can be taken on the hike in dry form. The cap in the bottle must be carefully tightened.

Karemat will act as a heat insulator. It must be rolled into a pipe. Inside should put drinks and cold battery. The holes in the pipe should be plugged with clothing (this will keep the temperature in the inside of the refrigerator).

Accuracy when dealing with ammonium nitrate will avoid fires and explosions. Contact with edible reserves can cause severe poisoning.

A picnic in nature is an event that will relieve working fatigue in adults.Children will play out in the fresh air and taste the delicious supplies made by mom and dad. A fridge made by hand from improvised means, will fulfill its functions and save the family budget.

Like all the working moments on the manufacture of the bag itself, the refrigerator looks like you can actually see it in the attached video.

Cold batteries are a necessary item for a fridge bag. And what have the usual diapers? All answers in the video tutorial.

The foam box is useful anywhere. How to do it - you can see everything with your own eyes.
