Refrigerator/freezer

Compressors used in a typical refrigerator/freezer are of the positive displacement type, utilizing either reciprocating or rotary motion (Eig. 5) and... 

Yeast (compressed and cream), and other perishable ingredients, are stored under refrigeration freezers are required for frozen eggs and fmits. 

California, the Energy Commission in 1983 adopted stringent standards for refrigerators, freezers, central air conditioners, and heat pumps. Following California s lead, several other states became interested in adopting appliance efficiency standards, since there was now a state model on which they could draw. By the end of 1986, six states had adopted new standards for one or more products.

Actual and projected refrigerator-freezer energy improvements from 1972 to 2001. 

Similarly, the use of ultra-low viscosity lubricants in compressors for refrigerators and freezers can cut energy consumption by 10%. With refrigerators, freezers and air-conditioning units representing somewhere between 5 and 10% of the UK s total electricity consumption, this is a very interesting commercial opportimity. ... 

Where items are stored in close proximity to one another, such as in refrigerators, freezers and cupboards, there may be a significant risk of crosscontamination. Samples and concentrated solutions of chemical standards should certainly not be stored in the same storage area. 

Storage areas, such as refrigerators, freezers and cupboards, should be regularly checked to avoid build-up of unnecessary items. Reagents and standards, which have passed their expiry date, and samples which need no longer be retained, should be appropriately disposed of. The laboratory should ideally keep records of what it has disposed of and when (and possibly also how). 

The white industry of refrigerators, freezers, microwave ovens, stoves, etc. requires safety elements that detect the status (open/closed) of the appliance doors. 

This directive accompanies directive 2002/96/EC, also known as WEEE, which addresses the handling of wastes from electrical and electronic wastes. These wastes cover a wide range of electrical and electronic products from household appliances such as refrigerators, freezers and microwaves to personal computers, cell phones to electrical toys, medical devices and electrical tools. As specified in Article 4 (1) of directive 2002/95/EC the following substances which are contained in all of the defined product groups have to be substituted from lJuly 2006on ... 

A mercury-based maximum-minimum thermometer may be used to monitor temperatures during periods when the laboratory is not staffed. Large-volume refrigerators/freezers can be monitored with an upper- and lower-limit alarm system or a recording thermometer. Ah thermometers are to be calibrated with an appropriate National Inshtute of Standards and Technology (NIST) thermometer when put in service and every 6 mo thereafter.

The household refrigerator freezer combination uses one evaporator (heater) in the freezer section to keep that region at the desired temperature (—18°C or 0°F). Cold air from the freezer is transferred into the refrigerator section to keep it at a higher temperature (2°C or 35°F). The COP of the refrigerator freezer combination suffers because the COP of the combination is equal to the COP of the freezer. It is known that the... 

One method of improving the COP of the refrigerator-freezer eombination is to employ an evaporator for both the refrigerator region and the freezer region with a single compressor, as illustrated in Fig. 6.20. A numerical example of this arrangement is shown in Example 6.10. 

Domestic refrigerator-freezer and air-conditioning-heat pump systems share equipments to reduce cost.

The next time you re near a refrigerator/freezer, place your hand near its back, and you ll feel the heat that has been extracted from the food inside. 

The exteriors of refrigerators, freezers and many other items are coated with plastic, such as PVC, to prevent the steel structure rusting (Figure 10.23).
