1. A cooler system comprising:

  • a compressor (22) for driving a refrigerant along a flow path in at least a first mode of system operation;

    a first heat exchanger (102) along the flow path downstream of the compressor in the first mode so as to act as a condenser;

    a second heat exchanger (28) along the flow path upstream of the compressor in the first mode so as to act as an evaporator to cool contents of an interior volume of the system; and

    means for using atmospheric water condensate from the second heat exchanger to draw heat from a downstream portion of the first heat exchanger.
