Yes! The Carcoon is designed for such protection. Click here for more information.
We do not recommend outdoor use for the Indoor Carcoon models or single-skin units. However, we do offer a Double-Skin Outdoor Carcoon designed specifically for outdoor conditions.
This Outdoor Carcoon is made using very special alloy coated material called ‘MVCR’. The MVCR material is used on the outer of the two skins and alone blocks 99.9% of damaging UV Rays. This silver coating also stops the build-up of heat inside the unit by blocking the Infra Red light. Internal temperatures are further stabilized by using a three piece insulated base mat, making special use of insulating foam technology. Read more about our outdoor Carcoon here.
The Carcoon has two modes of operation. The first is the initial drying mode where maximum airflow across a warm vehicle removes all the moisture. This establishes a dry car in a dry environment.
The essential drying mode is followed by the equally important storage mode. Here, airflow from the ambient is effectively blocked by the super-atmospheric re-circulating airflow through the Activated Carbon filters. These filters are fitted on the inside of the two air treatment units. See photos of these filters here.
The Carcoon uses two 12-volt 0.23 amp brushless ventilators to provide its Active Airflow. These ventilators are extremely efficient and reliable, similar to the cooling fans used in modern PC computers. In normal operation, they do not work under much load and draw under .5 amps. The running costs are estimated to be less than that of a bedside alarm clock, around 19 cents per day to run. The Bike Bubble uses only one ventilator, so the running costs are half.
The primary filters are the first barrier against airborne pollutants, so it makes perfect sense to keep these washable filters clean, changing them every couple of years or so, depending on the storage conditions.
The Inner Activated Carbon Filters are constantly working 24×7 to improve the storage conditions within the Carcoon. So, for best results, the Carbon Filters should be changed after the equivalent of one year’s continual use.
