2. Climate Performance & Sourcing Matrix

Cooling Performance Index 75%

0% Stall Baseline Limit (33°C) 100% Peak

Warning: Ambient temperature (38°C) exceeds the 33°C 100%-efficiency baseline. Cooling performance will degrade by ~25% and power consumption will increase.

Cooling Mechanism

Compressor

Fast cooling down to -18°C, reliable on 12V vehicle sockets, slight operational hum.

Estimated Cost

3,200 kr

Slightly above 3,000 kr budget. Scratch-and-dent outlets can reduce this by 40%.

Channel Viability for Selection

Channel	Suitability	Key Note from Travelers

Community Knowledge Grounding: • Absorption vs compressor acoustics (hotel vs car requirements). • 33°C thermodynamics degradation cliff in hot climates (Australia/Tropics). • Sourcing via caravan spares, classifieds (Craiglist/Nextdoor), and scratch-and-dent floor models.
