Electrothermal Chiller Crock Pot provides hot cold meals drinks for soldiers on battlefield 2402124.

Electrothermal have long recognised the importance of maintaining both the fluid and nutritional intakes of military personnel at optimum levels, and our range of RAK Water and Ration Heaters is designed to meet the exacting demands of modern mechanised forces worldwide. RAK Water and Ration Heaters provide potable hot water and heat MREs on demand, to give a hot meal and drink for personnel whether under combat conditions, on patrol, or back at base. They are rugged, manufactured to withstand the most harsh environments and can be installed in armoured vehicles, patrol boats and helicopters.

Approved suppliers for the US, UK and many other armies Electrothermal were originally awarded a contract to design and manufacture 10,000 RAK15/30 units for supply to the US Army. We now have 20,000+ combat-tested units in the field all over the world, which have been installed into support and front-line vehicles such as the Abrams M1A1, Bradley's LAV, M109 Paladin, MLR's, M113's, Foxhound, Ocelot, Scorpion, Jackal, and Warthog.

The RAK15/30 is at the optimal size to fit into the cramped quarters of a tank and provide hot meals and drinks for its five person crew, heating 2 pints of water and 5 MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat) simultaneously. When used for water only, the RAK15/30 can heat up to one gallon of potable water for drinks, washing or medical purposes. Depending on the power rating, the RAK unit does this in just 20 minutes under normal ambient conditions- it does of course work in extreme climates too, but may take longer to heat the contents if the prevailing temperature is bitterly cold. When switched off with the cover closed and locked, the thermally insulated unit keeps its contents piping hot for between four and six hours.

At IAV 2012, Electrothermal presents its new "Chiller Crockpot" with all the benefits of the RAK 15/30 coupled with the additional benefits of cooling.
