Q:
|
Can I use the Carcoon outdoors under my carport?
|
A:
|
We do not recommend
the single skin unit for outdoor use. However the double Skin
Carcoon was designed to be used outdoors. This
Carcoon is made
using a very special alloy coated material called MVCR. This
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
stabilised by using a three piece insulated base mat, making
special use of insulating foam technology.

Q:
|
Does the Carcoon constantly blow large volumes of air into the
bubble?
|
A:
|
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.

|
Q:
|
How much does the Carcoon Airflow System cost to run?
|
A:
|
The
Carcoon uses
two 12volt 220ma ventilators, and each ventilator costs a minute
1penny per
day to run, this amounts to less than £10 to run continuously
for a whole year.
The Bike bubble uses only one ventilator; therefore the running
costs are halved.
|
|
Q:
|
How long do the filters last?
|
A:
|
The primary filters are the first barrier against airborne
pollutants, therefore 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, therefore for
best results the Carbon filters
should be changed after the equivalent of one year’s continual
use. Normal winter only use this
equates to every two years.

Q:
|
What size do I need for my car?
|
A:
|
The
Carcoon is made in four standard sizes; size 3 is the
smallest- suits cars up to MGB etc,
through to size 6 Rolls Royce sized vehicles. Special sizes are
also listed to 7 and 8, these are not
normally stock items.

sizes and dimensions. Also note
that the inflated
Carcoon is a little wider (width only) than
the base mat, to calculate inflated width
for any size add 30cm to the listed base width. If in doubt
