They are commonly used in homes and in hotels, offices, and dorm rooms at colleges. + +Some refrigerators have intelligent features, such as cameras and sensors. Some refrigerators have touchscreens that let you watch videos, look up recipes, view family calendars and shopping lists or leave notes for family members. + +Temperature Control + +The right refrigerator temperature ensures food safety and avoid loss. This is especially important for foods like eggs and milk, which quickly turn rotten at ambient temperatures, but remain stable in refrigerator temperatures. Refrigerators can also be used to store pharmaceuticals such as medications or vaccines that become less effective as time passes. Refrigerator monitoring systems can ensure that an medical lab, laboratory or another institution has the cold chain. + +The thermal insulator inside a refrigerator keeps its contents cooler than surrounding air. It uses an energy source to transport warm air outside the refrigerator into an insulated storage compartment where it is extremely cold. The refrigerator also has a control system that turns on the cooling system when its internal temperature rises above the pre-set threshold. This stops the growth of bacteria inside the refrigerator. + +Each of the refrigerator zones is designed for a different function. The lower shelves are ideal for perishables, such as fresh vegetables and meats that require the lowest temperature to keep their texture and taste. Keeping the shelves clear allows cool air to circulate throughout the refrigerator. A separate deli drawer can be used to store soft cheeses and cured foods for the perfect charcuterie board. + +Refrigerators also have doors made of stainless steel or glass to protect the interior and allow for easy cleaning. Some refrigerators have doors that are alarms that can be programmed to notify you when the doors to the freezer or fridge are closed for too long. You can set them up to notify multiple people and in increments based on your needs. You can also set them to send temperature graphs by email or text. + +Freestanding appliance thermometers are an inexpensive alternative to the built-in thermometers found in most refrigerators. It is essential to check the refrigerator and freezer temperature often, especially in the event of a power failure or when temperature settings are altered manually. The ideal is that both the fridge and freezer should be set at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or less. + +Capacity of Storage + +The capacity of your refrigerator is an important factor when choosing the model that will best suit your needs. There are many sizes available that range from small models that have a capacity of less than 15 cubic foot to large models that can hold more than 26 cubic feet. To determine the size you require, think about your family's cooking habits and the number of people who live in your home. For two people, an average of 11 to 13 cubic foot of refrigerator space is sufficient, while 18 to 22 cubic feet is recommended. + +In addition to considering the overall space of your kitchen, look at the depth of your fridge. Some models are more deep than others, which allows them to fit in small spaces and not take up too much space under your counters. Cabinet-depth fridges are also an alternative. Their depth is comparable to the depth of a typical kitchen cabinet front, however the handles may extend a little further. They can be a great option for kitchens where counter space is a problem and can look more sleek than traditional refrigerators. + +Be sure to inquire about the refrigerator's energy consumption and noise level when you are shopping. There are many manufacturers that offer quieter models for residential use, while others offer refrigerators that use less energy than similar models. Look for the yellow Energy Guide label on appliances to learn about the typical energy consumption of the specific model. Test the model by opening and shutting its doors. + +The pantry drawer is typically a full width section of the refrigerator with separate temperature controls. It can be used to store a variety items. These drawers are especially useful to store party trays and wine, as they allow you to keep them at certain temperatures. These drawers can be programmed to store wine or deli food items as well as soft drinks, based on the model. + +Energy Efficiency + +Refrigerators consume a lot of electricity. That's why it's crucial to choose one that is energy efficient. As time has passed, refrigerators have become increasingly energy efficient. Insulation, motors, and magnetic door seals have been improved over time, which means that a newer fridge will use less power than a previous model of the same size. It is possible to cut down on the energy consumption of your refrigerator more by purchasing an energy efficient model. A refrigerator that has an Energy Star rating will use much less energy than a model that is at least ten years old. + +It is essential to consider the energy efficiency of consumers who have limited access to electricity grids. Refrigerators are typically one of the most expensive appliances for off-grid households and their large energy consumption means they require massive solar home systems (SHS) that are unaffordable for many families earning less than $2 per day. The annual energy consumption of refrigerators is a crucial aspect to determine if it's cost-effective for consumers to buy and operate. (PATH and WHO 2013 ). McCarney et. and., 2012). + +To understand how refrigerators function, we start with the basic refrigeration cycle. The refrigerator cools down by pushing a refrigerant liquid through a sealed system. It begins as a liquid, and passes through the compressor which reduces it to an vapor. The vapor then flows through coils located on the exterior of the refrigerator where it draws the heat from the fridge, cooling down before turning back into a liquid. This process is repeated several times, keeping food cold while the vapor flows through the coils. + +While refrigerators are among the most expensive appliances available to off-grid consumers, enhancing their energy efficiency makes them more affordable. By cutting down on the amount of energy they use, a refrigerator can be powered by less energy and lower overall system costs for consumers. Depending on the size, style, and features of the refrigerator, the savings on energy will vary. Water dispensers and ice makers through the door, for instance, add cost, but can increase the energy consumption of the refrigerator, which can increase the amount of SHS required to power it. + +Maintenance + +Regular maintenance and inspections can greatly increase the lifespan of your refrigerator. Examine the condenser, the ice maker, and the defrost drain. Also, check the seals on the door. In addition, cleaning and replacing water filters is essential. These simple maintenance tasks will ensure the longevity of your refrigerator and also save money on your energy costs. + +Cleaning the interior of your fridge on a regular basis is the easiest and most effective way to maintain it. This includes throwing away old food items, wiping down shelves and crispers, walls and the interior of the refrigerator's doors. This will lower the chance of contracting foodborne illness and unpleasant odors. A refrigerator thermometer is recommended for checking the temperature of your fridge regularly. Refrigerators that are not maintained are prone to temperature fluctuations that could result in food waste and higher electricity costs. + +It is also crucial to clean the condenser coils of your refrigerator at least twice per year to remove any dirt, hair, dust, and other particles that might have been accumulating. The coils are located at the bottom or rear of your appliance and are basically radiator-like components that help remove heat from your refrigerator. If they are dirty, they can't dissipate heat as effectively, and your refrigerator will require more power to run. + +Another thing you should be checking often is the gasket in your refrigerator that is designed to create an air-tight seal between the fridge and your home's ductwork. It is crucial to keep the contents of your fridge cold. However, over time, the seal can be worn down by sticky and greasy fingerprints. syrups. To keep your fridge's gasket in good condition, regularly wipe it down with an aqueous cloth. + +It is also a good idea to clean the drip tray, which is generally beneath the compressor unit of the refrigerator. This pan is used to collect water from the refrigerator's defrost cycle. It should be cleaned regularly to prevent the growth of mold and unpleasant odors. \ No newline at end of file
