What You Should Know About RIGID 24V Liquid Cooler
Model Name: LC3220E-H (Heat & Cool)
Liquid coolers have come a long way, and they have become incredibly powerful and versatile devices. You can use a single cooler for multiple applications, which secures an excellent ratio of price and quality. That seems impressive, but RIGID 24V Liquid Cooler found a way to take this versatility to the next level.
You might think that a chiller focuses on cooling, but what if you can also use it for heating? That is the main advantage of this fantastic small cooler. When necessary, it will keep you cool. But it can also increase the temperature when needed.
That dual function is what sets this unit from the crowd. Keep reading to learn more about RIGID's cooler that revolutionized the market.
A Quick Overview – Main Features
Before we continue, let’s get to know the main features of this unique liquid chiller compact package. You are already familiar with its main dual function of cooling and heating. Here is what else you should know:
- The rated voltage is DC 24V. That ensures optimal performance and maximum longevity of the device.
- The dimensions are 10.75 x 6.5 x 6 inches (339x208x235mm). Its compact size ensures a wide variety of applications. The cooler doesn’t take a lot of space, and you can place it anywhere around your home, office, or facility effortlessly. The compact dimensions also make it portable and suitable to use on the go.
- The unit weighs 11 pounds (5 kilograms). It is another reason why this cooler is portable and easy to move around.
- Digital temperature display and controller. A digital display allows you to adjust all the necessary settings to your preference. These ensure that controlling the unit is newbie-friendly.
- The capacity varies from 100 to 550W. Another amazing benefit of the 24V liquid cooler is that it is customizable. That means the manufacturer can tailor its power and capabilities to your desired application.
- The cooler uses R134A refrigerant. It is a recommended coolant that is used in cooling devices throughout the world.
How Does 24V Liquid Cooler Work?
The secret to the efficiency of this small cooler is that it uses a rotary micro-compressor. The working process is quite simple. Everything comes down to circulation or convection of liquid.
The unique liquid inserted by the manufacturer is a heat conductor. It moves from the base unit to the other components that are hooked to the desired application.
By circulating throughout the system, the liquid takes the heat away from the devices or objects it is supposed to cool down.
Once it returns to the base unit, it is hotter than before. That is why the liquid cools down while it passes through the device, and it can continue removing the heat from the application during the next circle it makes.
The liquid used might be a coolant formula, propylene glycol, or distilled water, and that depends on the cooler you purchase or your application. Either way, you will get maximum benefits from the device pumping the liquid through the equipment to the desired use and vice versa.
Why RIGID 24V Liquid Cooler is the Best Cooling Solution?
Using a mini rotary compressor eliminates the need for chemical cold pads or ice. If you browse the market, you will find various cooling solutions.
One of them is dry ice, whose temperature is -90C. That might lead to the chilled water freezing, which can affect the device’s performance, and fail to deliver the expected results.
It is also worth noting that dry ice will also melt after a couple of hours. Once that happens, the only solution is to refill the device. But what if you are not around? You can’t spend seconds refilling the unit?
Another solution might be a fan, but that only has limited effectiveness. You either need a massive fan, which significantly increases the overall cooler size, or you go with a small fan. But in that case, the fan won't be effective, and it might not be able to give you the expected results.
If you are looking for consistent cooling, you will love what this small cooler can do. Even though it comes in a compact pack, it is incredibly powerful. The compressor can work in harsh conditions, which means that it can keep optimal coolness even when it is incredibly hot outside.

And it also works the other way around! If it is cold and you would like it to feel warmer in the room, or you want to increase the temperature for your desired application, RIGID 24V Liquid Cooler can meet your expectations.
All you have to do is to trigger the heating mode and watch the magic happen. Although it is named after its cooling function, the heating option also does an amazing job.
What Are the Potential Applications of the RIGID Liquid Cooler?
Here is an overview of potential applications for the 24V DC liquid cooler - LC3220E-H:
1. Medical Equipment
You might need to keep a consistent temperature of your medical and lab equipment. You can't risk the temperature going up as it could compromise the performance of the equipment, and lead to failure. A small and powerful cooler is the ideal solution to keep the heat level optimal, depending on your needs.
An example of using the product for medical purposes is patient thermal management. If you need to maintain the patient’s body temperature at a certain level, you want a reliable solution that can secure consistent cooling.
The circulation process that this liquid cooler ensures can be efficient to keep the skin cool locally while reducing overall body heat.
You might also use RIGID Liquid Cooler as a medical laser chiller. And don’t worry about the capabilities of the cooler. With its strength varying from 100W to 550W, you can ensure that your customized solution is strong enough for medical lasers.
Many medications, chemicals, and other items should be kept at low-level temperatures. If they get heated, that could compromise their performance and characteristics, and they might become worthless. You can rely on this small cooler to keep the temperature at the required level consistently and without significant variations.
2. Electronics Cooling System
Electronic systems are also prone to overheating. Extreme temperatures don’t only affect the performance of electronic devices, but can also lead to total failure. That means you won’t be able to use the device anymore.
It can be devastating if you invested a lot of money in the product, and you know you can’t use it anymore. That is why it is important to do everything in your power to ensure the electronic system works flaw
