ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for converting a conventional insulating picnic cooler or the like into a refrigerator includes a small container, disposable within the cooler, for dry ice. A rectangular frame insertable within the interior of the cooler includes a pair of refrigeration coils which are disposed in proximity to opposed side walls of the cooler. One end of each of the coils connects to the dry ice container. The other end of the coils connects to a manually adjustable valve having a pressed blow-out section for relieving excess pressure. The valve is disposed in the exterior of the container. Gas flowing through the valve from the coil passes to the atmosphere through an indicator having a body of fluid in a transparent window so that bubbles produced upon passage of the gas are visible and allow manual adjustment of the valve to control the rate of gas flow and thus the rate of sublimation of the dry ice and the temperature within the cooler.
