Abstract

A cooler container in described. The cooler container may include a chamber configured to receive one or more items and a lid configured to openably cover the chamber. The cooler container may include a temperature control system. The temperature control system may include a thermoelectric element, a first heat sink, a second heat sink, and a conductive fluid configured to be cooled by the thermoelectric element during a cooling operation and to selectively thermally connect the thermoelectric element and the chamber. The temperature control system may further include a pump configured to move the conductive fluid such that the thermoelectric element is in thermal communication with the chamber to cool the chamber during the cooling operation, and such that the thermoelectric element is thermally separated from the chamber during other than the cooling operation.
