FDN founder, Sara Pines, describes how the CoolBot is used at Friendship Donations Network. What is a CoolBot? The CoolBot is a highly efficient and affordable alternative to a commercial walk-in cooler. CoolBots are used by a variety of farms and organizations as a cost efficient and eco-conscious refrigeration alternative. The FDN CoolBot uses less than 5 kWh/day. (More information about the CoolBot technology is available at: www.storeitcold.com). March 2013
