VegetableCoolbox

Vegetable Toolbox

This is an insulated box made from 2" rigid foam insulation. The dimensions are 3'h x 4'w x 8'L. It has an air conditioner in one end and maintains a temperature of about 45°F

The box is constructed using hexayurt assembly techniques. There are 2 side pieces which consist of an 8' panel and a 4' panel hinged together. Fold these into an ell and use 6" biaxial tape to make the seam. Place wall assembly over a floor of billboard vinyl. Install the air conditioner. There is a special A/C that is used for this box. Its temp probe has been lifted from the from air intake and is threaded out to the cooling coils. This is needed to prevent the unit from shutting off at 60°F. The opening for the A/C was cut for a different unit and it is necessary to put some fill foam in the gap. Seal with foil tape if needed.

Put the top on and use playa staples and a ratchet strap to secure the lid. There is also a faster quick release that is used in the tie-down so that the chef has an easier time getting in. Install temperature probe.
