The WCR 50, with a capacity of 44 liters, is the most compact model; at 38 cm wide, it fits even in vans and small panel vans where every centimeter counts. If you need more space, go for the \u003cem\u003eWCR 60 (55 l)\u003c\/em\u003e or the \u003cem\u003eWCR 80 (75 l)\u003c\/em\u003e. For families and long-term trips, there’s the \u003cem\u003eWCR 150\u003c\/em\u003e with a 153-liter capacity in a slim, tower-style design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompared to the Dometic CoolMatic NRX series, the WCR line offers the best value for the money: same basic concept, less electronics, and significantly lower price. If you want a frameless door, a 3-in-1 cooling solution, and Eco\/Boost\/Silent modes, check out the NRX.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat it’s designed for\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe WCR 50 uses compressor technology, allowing it to cool regardless of the outside temperature or the vehicle’s angle—unlike an absorption refrigerator, which must be kept level and loses performance in hot weather. You don’t need gas on board or external ventilation grilles in the vehicle body. This makes it the obvious choice for a DIY installation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe compressor operates in two modes: “Power” for rapid cooling and “Quiet” for nighttime use. You can switch between modes using the control panel inside the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe refrigerator can be used as a freestanding unit or built into a cabinet; a mounting frame is available as an option. The door hinge is reversible, so you can have the door open to the left or right—plan this before building your cabinetry. The matte black door panel is interchangeable and can be customized to match your interior decor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe door latch has a dual function: during the off-season, you can use it to keep the door slightly ajar, ensuring the interior stays ventilated and preventing mold growth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWAECO WCR 50, Manufacturer’s No. 9630001975\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTotal capacity 44 liters, including a 4.4-liter freezer compartment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOperating voltage: 12 V \/ 24 V\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCooling range: –12 °C to +7 °C\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAverage power consumption: 50 W\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnergy consumption: 0.32 kWh\/24 h (tested according to IEC 62552)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRefrigerant: R600a, climate class ST\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDimensions: W 380 × H 535 × D 510 mm, net weight 14 kg\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFreezer compartment, shelves, door compartment, bottle holder, two vegetable compartments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted LED light strip, control panel inside the unit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo operating modes: Performance \/ Quiet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReversible door hinge, matte black and replaceable door panel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDoor lock with ventilation function, installation frame optional\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrankana item number 34981\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I leave it running while driving?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It runs on 12 V or 24 V and is designed for operation in a moving vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it require a ventilation grille in the vehicle wall?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, unlike an absorption refrigerator, it does not. However, it does need air circulation around the cooling unit—be sure to allow for intake and exhaust air in the cabinet design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much power does it consume?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e0.32 kWh in 24 hours according to the standard. Converted to 12 V, that’s about 27 Ah per day, or just over 1 Ah per hour on average. Less in quiet mode, more in high heat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it run on 230 V?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot directly. It’s a 12\/24-V appliance. For shore power operation, you’ll need a power adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have the door hinge on the left?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the door hinge can be reversed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAECO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56400336781691,"sku":"Frankana 34981","price":499.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0299\/8347\/3708\/files\/wcr-50-9630001975-p401-scaled.webp?v=1788263561","url":"https:\/\/www.waerchzueg.ch\/en\/products\/waeco-wcr50-compressor-refrigerator-44-liters-12-24-v-with-freezer-compartment","provider":"waerchzueg.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
