Jobsite fridge/freezer Engel's refrigerator/freezers run off of 12-volt battery power, 110-volt AC house- hold current or solar panels by plugging into a cigarette lighter or auxiliary power outlet. They can also be powered by household current where AC power is available. The refrigerator/freezers are capable of lowering internal temperatures to 0 degrees Fahrenheit for frozen goods; for refrigeration, the temperature can be set at 38 degrees. The units feature a compressor-driven refrigeration system powered by a brushless swing motor that moves its piston up and down, starting slowly and moving only a few mil- limeters at first to draw minimal amps at startup.
