There are many different types of refrigerators on the market today, each with its own set of features and benefits.
Here is a breakdown of the most common varieties:
Compact Refrigerators: Compact refrigerators are typically less than 30 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 17 inches high. They are popular because they’re easy to move around and fit in small spaces. They have a small footprint, making them ideal for use in apartments or smaller homes.
Mid-Size Refrigerators: Mid-size refrigerators are typically between 31 and 43 inches wide, 18 to 24 inches deep, and 23 to 30 inches high. They offer more storage space than compact refrigerators but are still relatively easy to move around. They’re also popular choices for larger homes or offices.
Full-Size Refrigerators: Full-size refrigerators range in width from 44 to 60 inches and can be as much as six feet high. They offer plenty of storage space for food items and can easily accommodate large families or groups of people. Some full-size refrigerators also have built-in ovens and microwaves for added convenience.
The average refrigerator is about the size of a small room and can hold up to 12 bottles of beer. The cold air inside the refrigerator is kept at a very low temperature by a machine called an air conditioner.
When you open the fridge door, the cold air escapes and needs to be replaced. This cold air is drawn in from outside through tiny holes in the fridge’s walls and passed through a compressor to create cold, dense air. This compressed air is then heated up so it can evaporate water and turn into colder droplets of H2O (refrigerant).
The refrigerant circulates around the inside of the fridge through pipes cooled by coils of refrigerant fluid (a liquid with high freezing point) before being released back into the atmosphere.
