The refrigerator is durable and does not stop things. It is a big power consumer in the home! Today’s career knowledge will tell everyone how to buy a refrigerator with high energy efficiency, and how to make the refrigerator more energy saving and electricity saving.
Energy-saving refrigerator selection tips:
1. The lower the energy consumption, the more energy saving. The energy label of the refrigerator is to evaluate its energy efficiency. The lower the energy consumption, the higher the energy efficiency, the more money will be saved.
2. Buy the right refrigerator. Choose a refrigerator that suits your needs, such as a small family that only needs a small refrigerator. Because small refrigerators sell at a lower price, but also less power. In addition, the energy label shows how much power a refrigerator consumes. The lower the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh), the more economical the refrigerator is to run.
3. The door of the refrigerator and freezer room is left, as well as the smaller freezer room. The city is more power-saving. There are many different names on the market single door to the door of the refrigerator, you can voucher their habits, home area and other considerations.
Refrigerator use tips:
1. Store food properly
Keep the refrigerator “always full” state, cut the air to cool, so as to improve the efficiency of energy saving. But filling a refrigerator with too much food can block the flow of air and make it uncool. Conversely, storing too little food won’t do. As the heat capacity is smaller, the compressor start and stop time is shortened, resulting in increased cumulative power consumption of the refrigerator.
Food storage should be leisurely between the convection of air conditioning, temperature equalization, accept small packaging can reduce the cold time, but also save electricity, access is easy.
The liquid food in the refrigerator, such as soup or drinks, must be covered, and the food should be sealed with crisper or plastic paper. This not only can keep the food from being dry and unpalatable due to the loss of water, but also the distribution of water will cause the compressor of the refrigerator to aggravate the problem.
2. Knowledge of placing items
The meat and fish just bought back, due to the high temperature, if directly put into the freezer will affect the original temperature in the refrigerator, increase the load of the refrigerator compressor, so you can first put in the refrigerator to cool down, and then put into the freezer.
Frozen food can be packaged in plastic bags or plastic wrap, on the one hand to prevent dry, on the other hand to prevent moisture into frost. If the frost of the freezer is too thick, the refrigeration effect will be weakened, and the electricity will be consumed.
Ice cubes and cold drinks are best left at night. Due to the low temperature at night, it is conducive to the heat dissipation of the condenser, and less open freezer access food at night, the compressor work time is short, saving energy.
If the pot with residual heat is put into the refrigerator immediately, it will affect the original temperature in the refrigerator and increase the number of compressor operation. It’s recommended to put a hot pot in a sink of water and bring it to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator.
We should pay attention to the capacity of the refrigerator. It is best to place the equipment not across eight full points, and most importantly, do not cover the air outlet in the refrigerator when placed, so as not to consume unnecessary electricity. In addition, square packaging of food is not full, to ensure that the food should leave a gap between each other, in order to facilitate the circulation of cold air in the refrigerator.
3. Keep the refrigerator properly
Proper nursing can extend the life of the refrigerator.
– Regularly tidy up the dust of the air grille at the back of the refrigerator, clean the air grille, air circulation, and smooth operation of the compressor.
– Defrost regularly. If the thickness of frost in the freezer is more than 4 to 6 mm, it will reduce the efficiency of energy saving and lead to waste money. Refrigerator without intelligent frost effect, because the heat transfer of frost layer is slower than that of metal, will hinder the refrigeration effect of evaporator, thus increasing power consumption. Therefore, refrigerators that do not have automatic defrosting should be manually defrosted in real time when the frosting thickness on the evaporator exceeds 4 to 6 mm.
– Make sure the refrigerator doesn’t “leak” through cracks in the door. If cold air emanates from the refrigerator, compress the secret and double things. How do you know if your refrigerator is “leaking”? Simply place a bill between the door and the crack in the refrigerator. If the bill falls quickly, it signals that the duct tape on the refrigerator door is loose and needs to be replaced.
4, the exact temperature of the refrigerator
The refrigerator and freezer should not be set too cold. The refrigerator should be kept between 2.7 and 4.5 degrees Celsius, while the freezer should be kept at minus 15 degrees Celsius.
Frozen food should be melted in the freezer before eating. This will lower the temperature in the freezer and save electricity. Hot food should be cooled to room temperature and then put into the refrigerator, so as to avoid the rapid rise of temperature in the refrigerator, but also increase the thickness of frost outside the evaporator, resulting in the compressor to improve the time, increase the power consumption.
In addition, usually in the access to food, just cut down the number of times and open the door time. As the cold air spreads out once the door is opened, the compressor will run for more than ten minutes to restore the refrigeration temperature.
5. The exact location of the refrigerator
The place where the refrigerator is placed is often limited by electric plugs and water pipes. Must ensure that the place of placement, is air circulation, only gas more useful operation. If the refrigerator is located between cabinets, make sure that the air flow in the location is unimpeded.
It is best not to place the refrigerator near a window, stove or electric stove and other heat sources. The direct exposure of the sun, the heat of the stove and so on, causes the refrigerator to consume more energy to cool. It is best placed in the “coldest” corner of the kitchen.
