4. William Cullen - the first person to
observe & demonstrate artificial
refrigeration via evaporative cooling
1748
1834
Jacob Perkins invented the first vapor
compression system for refrigerators
1876
Carl von Linde patented a new
process for liquefying gases used in
artificial refrigeration
1913
Fred W. Wolf invented the
first home electric refrigerator 1918
William C. Durant began mass
producing the first home refrigerator
with a self-contained compressor
1927
The home refrigerator -
widespread popularity across
the U.S

14. As a liquid changes into
a gas, it extracts heat
Refrigerant
Principle
Definition
Absorb heat -> transfer
heat to another place
Reason
Refrigerant > water
GWP
Global warming
potential ( 0- thousands)
ODP
Ozone depletion
potential (0-1)
15. ● A thin set of copper tubes
● Function: lowers the liquid
refrigerant’s temperature and
pressure -> half of it to evaporate
Expansionvalve
16. ● Set of coils arranged in a zigzag
shape
● Location: freezing compartment
● Function: absorb heat from food
or drink
Evaporator
17. Compressor
● A pump: enable the flow of refrigerant
● Location: the bottom of, towards the
back
● Function: pressure and temperature
18. ● Set of coils arranged in a zigzag
shape
● Location: underneath or on the side
● Function: receive and reject heat to
the surrounding
Condenser
20. Refrigerator removes heat from one
region and depositing it in another.
The tendency of gases to get hot
when they are compressed and cold
when they expand.
Along with the help of some refined
devices, helps a refrigerator cool the
stuff stored in it.
WORKING PRINCIPLES
21. OPERATION
Compressor compresses
refrigerant gas heats up
due to pressurization
Hot refrigerant gas
dissipate heat by coils
Gas condenses into
liquid at high pressure
High pressure liquid flows
through expansion valve
Low pressure refrigerant
gas is sucked up by the
compressor cycle repeats
Liquid boils and vaporizes
Temperature dropping to
-25°F

25. Full capacity => risk of
serious damage &
the equipment lifespan &
energy costs
WHAT YOU DO
SPACE
CONDENSER COILS
Dirt and grime build up
on coils => fridge work
harder & run more often
COOLDOWN
Hot leftovers increase
the energy needed to
cool it all down
SURROUNDING AREA
Free of paper or other
flammable materials;
enough room
PROPER TEMPERATURE
Keep the refrigerator
temp <= 4° C. Freezer
temp should be -18° C
MAINTAINANCE
Defrost fridge at least
once a year; clean
regularly
26. WHATYOUDON’TDO
Place a refrigerator
near cookers, radiators,
or in direct sunlight
POSITION
GASKET/DOOR SEAL
Prevent cold air from
escaping => pay
attention when closing
FREQUENCY
Open the door too
often & for too long
UNCOVERED FOOD
Bacteria easily
spreading; spilled out
