Heat moved by current,
not by gas.
A thermoelectric module moves heat from one face to the other when an electric current passes through it. The CF1 uses that effect to cool its payload chamber and rejects the heat outside. There is no refrigerant circuit, no compressor and no evaporator coil.
Portable or vehicle-mounted,
one cooling method.
Portable.
The CF1-1 container runs from its own battery.
Vehicle-mounted.
Units fixed in the vehicle and powered from it.
Regulatory status,
stated plainly.
ARABKOR supplies the CF1 as a portable thermoelectric cooling container. It is not marketed as medical or pharmaceutical equipment, and ARABKOR does not claim SFDA approval or GDP compliance for it. Each model goes through SABER conformity assessment before import, and SASO issues the certificate; the authority decides, not ARABKOR.
Buy,
lease or run on subscription.
Purchase.
Units sold outright, with ARABKOR support in the Kingdom.
Lease-to-operate.
Units leased for a fixed term, with ARABKOR responsible for servicing.
Telemetry subscription.
A temperature record for each container, with data to be hosted in the Kingdom.
Start with a pilot on one route.
Tell us the route, the payload, the set point and the longest leg. We propose the number of units and a schedule for the trial.

Saudi cold chain is still growing.
Saudi cold chain logistics was estimated at about USD 2.26 billion in 2026, forecast at about USD 2.76 billion by 2031, at 4.12% a year (CBInsights / Mordor Intelligence). The National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) covers the logistics sector this equipment serves. The figures are third-party market estimates.
Questions
What is a thermoelectric cooling container?
A container cooled by a thermoelectric module: a solid-state device that moves heat from one side to the other when an electric current passes through it. It has no refrigerant circuit, no compressor and no evaporator.
Does the Carnotfleet CF1 use refrigerant?
No. The CF1 cools with a solid-state thermoelectric heat pump. There is no refrigerant to charge, recover or leak.
Is the CF1 approved by the SFDA?
ARABKOR does not claim SFDA approval or GDP compliance for the CF1. It is supplied as a portable thermoelectric cooling container, and its regulatory classification for specific uses is under review.
Can we trial the CF1 before buying?
Yes. ARABKOR runs pilots on a single route before a purchase or lease.
Bring us a route and a set point.
Tell us what you move, how far, and the temperature it has to hold. We reply with the units, the power plan and a pilot schedule.
