The Nova Kool R5812 is a premium 162-liter all-refrigerator designed for RVs, camper vans, boats, and off-grid applications. Built with a highly efficient Danfoss BD Series variable-speed compressor, it delivers reliable cooling while consuming minimal power, making it an excellent choice for solar-powered and battery-operated systems.

Designed to perform even in demanding environments, the R5812 operates efficiently at ambient temperatures up to 30°C and continues cooling while the vehicle is tilted up to 30° off level.

What is the difference between the R5810 and R5812 fridge models?
The primary difference between the Nova Kool R5810 and R5812 models lies in their internal configurations:

R5810: This model is a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, offering a total capacity of 5.8 cubic feet (164 liters). The freezer compartment occupies 0.4 cubic feet (11.3 liters) of this space.

R5812: In contrast, the R5812 is an all-refrigerator model without a freezer compartment, providing the full 5.8 cubic feet (164 liters) exclusively for refrigeration purposes.

Both models share several features, including a positive latch system, storage for tall bottles, powder-coated zinc wire shelves for durability, and replaceable door panels for customization. They come standard with a brushed stainless steel door panel and adjustable mounting flange. Additionally, both models are available in DC-only (12/24V) or AC/DC configurations.
