Introducing B-Kool Gen 5
B-Kool listens to our customers on how to improve our product. The B-Kool Gen 5 is a result of these suggestions. B-Kool Gen 5 includes
• More efficient heat exchanger for longer and cooler cold air
• More efficient pump for less current draw
• Lighter weight Kool Flex air duct for better balance when empty
• Detachable power cord easily upgraded from a base unit to a wireless remote
• Wireless remote-control receiver built into a power cord for ease of upgrade and ability to alternately swap to a remote device.
We have been shipping B-Kool Gen 5 since January; therefore, any recent purchase is the latest product.
For those who have non-remote units and wish to upgrade, please contact me direct Bob@B-kool.net or call 928-300-4045.
Due to a state-wide COVID 19 quarantine, our production facility is closed until May 1. Inventory is limited for the next 60 days, but we have stock on hand.

NOTE: Some of you may have seen my earlier post regarding some supply chain issues and the car accident of my main fabricator, Tim Harper. Sadly, Tim passed away due to a blood clot moving from his broken leg to his pulmonary artery. While we have alternate options on production, we are scrambling to make these changes while trying to cope with the loss of a friend and colleague.

Thank everyone who sent the kind words.

We are determined to turn these lemons into lemonade.

My friend would not want it any other way

Thanks again

Bob, sorry about your loss.

Can you please tell me how many amps the B-Kool draws (12 volt)?

Username Protected · **Posted:** 22 Apr 2020, 19:28

Less than 5 amps. If your airplane’s circuitry cannot support this, please contact me at 928-300-4045 or bob@b-kool.net. We have several work around options.

Thanks for your interest

Bob

Adding to our challenges, our pump supplier has informed us that the manufacturer has closed all their factories TFN. We have enough inventory to get us midway thru June but no guarantees we will have inventory after that.

If you are contemplating ordering a B-Kool for this summer I suggest you order soon.

Thanks all

Thanks Bob! Just ordered my B-Kool a couple days ago and it showed up this morning. Looks great. Nice quality, cant wait to give it a test. Looks like a really nice product!

I bought a black unit 4 years ago. It still looks new, very sharp looking with remote. A must for California summers. It makes a big difference in the cabin.

My kids don’t like to fly with dad without it.

Thanks Bob

Mark
