The tested cooling system comprises of a micro vapor-compression refrigeration system with connectors that can be retrofitted to a standard 5-Gallon water can.

Carleton Technologies Inc. is a world leader in equipment for use in extreme conditions. Specializing in precision pneumatic engines, Carleton Technologies Inc. is the worlds largest supplier of tactical linear Stirling-cycle cryogenic coolers. These advanced cooling systems have allowed for the development of highly effective personal cooling equipment including the currently fielded Air Warrior micro climate system, enabling aircrews to operate for extended periods in harsh environmental conditions. By tailoring these highly efficient cooling systems to chill Warfighers drinking water, Warfighters operating in hot ambient conditions will have increased endurance and will drink/waste less water. Currently Carleton Technologies Inc. is the only supplier of such a cooling system that is capable of chilling water a difference of 40F under the 27 minute time frame suggested by the Operation Forces Interface Group 2009 report. These cooling systems are also extremely ruggedized and have passed shock and vibration testing to military specifications.
