What kind of gas does a DC refrigerator use?
This is usually a combination of LPG gas and 240 volt (2-way) or LPG gas, 12 volt and 240 volt (3-way). A compressor fridge uses electricity to run a low-power compressor, which in turn pumps the refrigerant through the cooling system. DC fridges use a dedicated 12V / 24V compressor which is designed to operate in a moving vehicle.
