Refrigerant Filling
Next is the refrigerant filling process. Our refrigerant equipment has two injection guns, which can operate two different refrigerants at the same time. And our refrigerant equipment can be suitable for different refrigerants (such as R134a, R600a, R1234yf). And our refrigerant equipment has a strict quality inspection system. If the compressor does not meet the requirements, the refrigerant will not be filled. Once the refrigerant is filled, the nozzle will be ultrasonically sealed and welded.
Leakage Checking
During the leak detection process, we will have experts operate this QC machine to check whether the refrigerant is qualified and check whether there are any mistakes in the previous process to ensure the product quality is qualified.
Final Assembling Process
After passing the inspection, start assembling the remaining parts, such as mesh, door covers, wheels, handles, etc.
Refrigeration & Safety Test
After assembly, we put the product into the inspection line, where the finished product is placed for refrigerated safety testing. We use the MES intelligent acquisition system, which can detect every process from the beginning to the last step to see if the product really meets the packaging requirements. If the MES system detects a defective product, it will immediately activate the alarm system and terminate the production line. It will not allow anything to continue until the defective product is manually picked out. Secondly, MES will also conduct safety inspections on our products to ensure that each product meets the safety standards required by various countries.
Appearance Inspection and Packaging
Final step, Conduct a full inspection and cleaning to ensure that each refrigerator is perfect for packaging

Compressor, condenser, Filter Drier, Capillary Tube, Evaporator, Liquid Storage Tank, Thermostat, Tail Tube etc
Maintenance of Portable Fridge
1. Keep the fridge clean inside and out
One of the most straightforward but important aspects of maintaining a 12V/24V portable car fridge is to keep it clean inside and out. Dirt, dust, and grime can accumulate on the outside of the fridge, while spills and food residue can cause unpleasant odors and even mold growth inside the fridge.
1.1 Exterior Cleaning: Regularly wipe the outside of the fridge with a soft, damp cloth, especially around seals and vents where dust tends to accumulate. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the surface.
1.2 Interior Cleaning: Unplug the fridge and remove all items. Use a mild detergent and warm water to clean the inside of the fridge, paying special attention to corners and shelves where spills may have occurred. Don’t forget to thoroughly dry the inside before plugging the fridge back in (or storing it) to prevent mold.
1.3 Dealing with Odors: To keep your fridge smelling fresh, place a small box of baking soda or charcoal deodorizer inside the fridge. They effectively absorb unwanted odors without creating any pungent smells.
2. Check and clean your portable refrigerator seals
The seals around your refrigerator door play a vital role in keeping cool air inside and ensuring your refrigerator runs efficiently. If these seals are damaged or dirty, the refrigerator will have to work harder, which can result in higher power consumption and shorten the life of the refrigerator. They are also prone to rot and need to be replaced over the life of the refrigerator, so they definitely require close attention.
Regular inspections: Check the seals regularly for signs of wear or damage. If the seals are cracked, brittle, or not sealing properly, they may need to be replaced.
Clean the seals: Dust or dirt can cause seals to fail. Clean the seals with warm, soapy water, making sure the soapy water gets into the grooves. Dry thoroughly before closing the refrigerator.
Test the seal: An easy way to check if the seal is working properly is to place a piece of paper between the refrigerator door and the refrigerator. Close the refrigerator door, and if the paper slides out easily, the seal may need attention.
3. Keep your portable refrigerator vents clear
Proper ventilation is essential for the efficient operation of your portable refrigerator. Most refrigerators rely on airflow around the compressor to stay cool and run efficiently, especially when using a 12V system in hot climates.
Check ventilation: Make sure there is enough space around the refrigerator for air to circulate, especially near the compressor and cooling fan. Clogged vents can cause the compressor to overheat, which reduces efficiency and causes potential damage.
Clean vents: Dust and dirt can easily clog the ventilation grilles, so it is important to clean them regularly. Use a small brush or a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle attachment to remove dust buildup around the vents.
4. Defrost regularly
If your portable refrigerator has a freezer compartment or is prone to frost around the cooling elements, regular defrosting is essential to maintain its performance. Frost reduces the refrigerator's cooling efficiency and increases power consumption.
When to defrost: You should defrost your refrigerator when the ice layer is thicker than 5 mm. Allowing frost to accumulate will cause the refrigerator to overwork, resulting in higher power consumption and a shorter lifespan.
How to defrost: Unplug the refrigerator and remove all items. Open the refrigerator door and let the ice melt naturally. Avoid using sharp objects to chip ice, as this may damage the cooling elements. After defrosting, wipe the interior and restart the fridge.
5. Monitor Temperature
Maintaining the proper temperature inside your car fridge is critical for both food safety and energy efficiency. If the fridge is too hot, food can spoil; if it's too cold, food can freeze unnecessarily, especially in certain locations.
Set the right temperature: Most fridges work best when set between 3°C and 5°C. You can use a thermometer inside the fridge to check the temperature and adjust accordingly. The freezer should be set to around -18°C.
Avoid overloading: Overfilling the fridge restricts airflow, making it difficult to maintain an even temperature inside the fridge. Make sure there's enough space for cool air to circulate around the food.
6. Power Considerations and Battery Management
Portable fridges require a steady power source, usually a car battery or portable power station. Properly managing the fridge's power consumption is critical, especially when off-grid.
Monitor power usage: Keep an eye on your fridge's power consumption, especially if it's using a solar setup or battery system. Many portable fridges have a low-power mode or eco setting to minimize power consumption when the battery is low.
Use a dual-battery system: If you frequently rely on your fridge for camping or off-grid travel, consider using a dual-battery system. This will prevent your vehicle's starting battery from running out of charge while powering the fridge overnight.
Check the battery connection: Make sure the connection between the fridge and the battery is clean and secure. Loose or corroded connections can affect performance and increase power consumption.
7. Store your fridge properly when not in use
Proper storage is key to extending the life of your vehicle fridge when you're not using it. A fridge sitting in a garage or shed can collect dust or be exposed to extreme temperatures, both of which can damage components.
Clean before storage: Before you put your fridge away, thoroughly clean the interior and leave the door slightly open to prevent mold or unpleasant odors.
Weatherproof: If you store your fridge in an area prone to dust, moisture, or pests, consider using a protective cover or storing it in a clean, dry place.
8. Regularly check the life of your fridge
Finally, be sure to perform regular inspections and maintenance to ensure your fridge runs smoothly for years to come. Check the power cord and plug for signs of wear, listen for unusual noises from the compressor, and make sure the temperature control is working properly.
By following these simple maintenance tips, you can ensure your portable car refrigerator remains reliable, efficient, and ready for all your adventures. Regular cleaning, proper ventilation, and smart power management will help you avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your refrigerator, keeping your food and drinks cool no matter where you travel or use it.
