Professional refrigeration quality – no more defrosting! NoFrost is the expert refrigeration technology for safe, long-term freezing: any humidity that is generated is expelled, the food no longer becomes covered in ice, the appliances defrost automatically and so are always free from ice. And the use of high-efficiency compressors in conjunction with a special electronic control system ensures that these appliances not only offer top convenience, but also top energy-saving capability.
Recently Liebherr has been awarded top marks in a test by an independant magazine. The marks gained by the CBNPes3956 were the highest overall, and the Liebherr ICBP3166 was the best performing built in refrigerator. This kind of result proves the quality of the Biofresh products.
History of Refrigerators
Refrigeration – the process of lowering the temperature of an object or cold surface by getting rid of the heat present to. The refrigerator is a recent invention that begs the question; what did people use to store their food earlier? Well, before mechanical refrigeration systems were introduced, people cooled their food with ice or snow. They did this by digging holes and lining them with straw and ice as a storage space. Other methods included drying and salting.
First demonstrated in 1748 by William Cullen, refrigeration was never used for any commercial purpose until 1805 when an American Oliver Evans designed the first refrigeration machine. The term ‘refrigerator’ was coined by one Thomas Moore, an engineer from Maryland.
Refrigerators or fridges as they are commonly known make use of a basic physics principle – A rapidly vaporizing liquid draws heat from its surrounding area to gain kinetic energy for evaporation thereby creating a cooling effect in the surrounding area. This principle is the primary refrigeration technique used today.
Commonly used liquids include Freon as well as other chlorofluorocarbons though recent discoveries that they depleted the ozone layer have led to use of other liquids such as ammonia. Besides the refrigerant, other critical parts essential for refrigeration include:
Compressors – they basically compress the gas changing its state back to liquid form dissipating heat in the process. Coils – A looping set of pipe coils at the back of the fridge that let the ammonia gas (or any other gas for that matter) dissipate its heat causing the gas to condense into liquid at high pressure.
Expansion Valve – A small valve that separates the high pressure area from the low pressure area caused by the suction effect of the compressor. Ammonia gas is highly toxic thus is only no longer used for home refrigerators, instead they used ozone friendly CFC’s.
More about refrigerators… Falling under the category of essential major appliances, refrigerators are among the most important appliances not only in any home but in any place where food and foodstuffs fall under their line of business. You can imagine how inconvenient it would be if refrigerators were not part of our daily lives. We do admit to ourselves that these appliances play such an important role in our lives that we cannot afford to take it for granted.
Refrigerators ensure that food left in one day can be stored safely and be kept fresh enough to be taken for another day’s meal. If this was not the case, a lot of food would go to waste and thus becoming very expensive on our sides. Moreover, we would not be able to do bulk buying of food just because we would not be able to keep them fresh for long enough.
Refrigerators are available in very many types ranging from the locally made ones to the ones imported from the Far East and America. When shopping for a refrigerator, you actually have hundreds of types and thousands of models to choose from.
A refrigerator is not something that we would buy every other year. In fact, we would need something that can last for the longest time possible and provide the very best of services to us.
Of course your needs will determine the type and model of a refrigerator that you should be looking for. If you have a large family and you are looking to increase your storage capacity to the utmost high level, a large refrigerator would be ideal for you. However, if you need a small storage appliance, a small refrigerator would be the best.
You should also look at the size of your pocket and ensure that you acquire the best refrigerator for whatever amount of money you have.
