T5 – 12 Volt Portable Evaporative Air Cooler

Stay cool anywhere – while parked, camping, or relaxing off-grid.
The Transcool T5 is the latest evolution in Australian-designed portable air cooling. Built tough for harsh outdoor conditions, this compact 12-volt evaporative cooler delivers genuine airflow and refreshing comfort without the noise, bulk, or power drain of a conventional air-conditioner.

Ideal for camping, RVs, caravans, truck sleeper cabins (while parked), boats, dog crates, and off-grid setups – anywhere you need reliable, low-power cooling in a stationary space.

Why Choose Transcool

For over 20 years, Transcool has been engineered and tested for Australia’s toughest conditions.
The T5 continues that legacy – dependable, efficient, and built to perform wherever you travel.
Whether you’re parked at a remote campsite, resting in your truck, or keeping your pets cool off-grid, the Transcool T5 delivers comfort you can count on – just add water and 12 or 240 volts.

 

FAQ's

What is it?
Transcool T5 is a portable 12 volt DC evaporative air cooler. Pour 6 litres (1.5 gallons) of water in the rear mounted tank, plug the 2 metre (6′) power lead into cigarette socket, select fan speed and away you go!

The T5 comes with a 110-240 Volt AC transformer so you can use it in household power as well!

How cold will the Transcool T5 12 volt air cooler make my cabin or room?

The T5 will not cool down a ‘room’ to a controlled temperature, this is where a refrigerated unit is required

But the  T5 Transcool is great to blow a cool breeze over the user whilst in front of the unit.

It  is a ‘personal spot cooler’ – delivering a cool breeze on you effectively at a range of up to 5 metres (10-15′) distance.

 

Will the Transcool portable air cooler cool my room or vehicle like a built in air conditioner?

Quite simply – No!

  • A refrigerated air conditioning system is hard to beat, but useless without 110-240v electricity!
  • A refrigerated air conditioning system has many complex and expensive components. These systems require many permanently fitted parts such as a compressor, condenser, evaporator and refrigerant gas to cool air. A vehicle or household air conditioner requires immense power to ‘drive’.

 

How long will the T5 water last?

Water usage with evaporative cooling varies on fan speed and ambient air temperature.

Under most conditions Transcool’s 6 litre (1.5 gallon) supply will last up to 18 hrs  on low  speed

 

What happens if my T5 runs out of water?

For this operation you turn the water pump off on touch pad.

The T5 can also operate as an evaporative cooler with water pump turned on, or as a fan without water with COOL pump turned off.

The T5 must not be run without water with pump on.

The T5 produces a loud warning tone if water runs out

 

Will the Transcool work in humid areas?

The Transcool is surprisingly effective in humid areas!

We have used and sold these units around all areas of Australia with humidity levels of over 90% at times with surprising results.

We never claim that Transcool will cool down an area, but the feeling of the cool air blowing on your skin in humid areas is amazing

 

How long will my battery last?

The Transcool T5 only uses 1 Amp on Low speed and a maximum of 3Amps (36W) on high speed.

 

You will generally find ‘low’ fan speed (1 amp) more than adequate for sleeping.

For extended periods of cooling, use of a deep cycle battery or battery power pack is recommended as they are designed for powering appliances.

A car ‘starting battery’ is basically designed to provide a short powerful supply to start your vehicle, but not to power appliances for any length of time.

 

Calculating Battery Running Time-

Depth of discharge, also known as DOD, shouldn’t be any more than 50% in most deep cycle batteries in order to get the best battery life.

Depth of discharge is a very important calculation you should make when choosing the size of a deep cycle battery.

 

 

Example 1/  12v 100 Amp Hour AGM Deep Cycle battery

100 Ah x 50% =50 Amps useable power

Then divide this by the power draw of your appliance

50Ah divided by 1 Amps (Transcool on low speed)= 50 hours use

 

Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries (LiPO4 )

Lithium batteries are far lighter and also have a greater Depth of Discharge (DOD)

Up to 80% of battery capacity can be used and still offer long battery life

 

Example 2/ 12 Volt 100 Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery

100Ah x 80% = 80 Amp hrs useable power

80 divided by 1 amps =80 hrs

 

 

Example 3/ 12 Volt 60 Ah LiPO4 Battery

60 Ah x 80%=48hrs useable power

48 hrs divided by 1 Amp= 48 hrs use

 

As you can see, a smaller LiPo4 battery with greater DOD can provide far more hours supply!

A Lithium Battery also has far more cycle life cycles (ability to be charged and discharged) than a conventional AGM or Calcium Deep Cycle battery

A lithium battery can be used for 2000+ life cycles

How much noise?

The Transcool T5 is whisper quiet!

Only 36dB Low fan speed and a maximum of 46dB High fan speed
