Benefits of air cooled refrigerators
The biggest advantage of air-cooled refrigerators is that they will not frost as mentioned above, eliminating the need to remove frost once or twice a year, and not worrying about the decrease in refrigeration capacity caused by frost. Save effort no!
Because of the fast flow of cold air, the refrigeration rate is faster than the straight ice box, in a short time, the temperature in the refrigerator can be lowered, cut the time of things, but also make the temperature in the refrigerator double balance. The faster the rate of cooling, the less cell breakage the meat has, which helps retain its superior taste.
Air-cooled ice does not need to take up space for the condensing tube, and the available volume in the refrigerator is larger than that in the direct cooling, and the space exercise rate is high. If there are large instruments that cannot be opened, you can take out all the drawers, and the space inside is monolithic. You can’t do that with cold.
The flaws of air-cooled refrigerators
Air cooled refrigerators are generally more expensive than straight ice boxes, and their capacity starts high (usually above 260L). Due to the need to use a fan to circulate air all the time, some people say that the noise of the fan is larger (not high-frequency noise, high-frequency noise is usually caused by frequency conversion compressor, frequency conversion compressor is used in direct cooling and air cooling), it is best to feel it in the store. Because the fan needs to rotate all the time, coupled with the evaporator heating and defrosting every 8 hours, so that the power consumption is larger than the direct cooling, but because the refrigeration rate is fast, the power consumption will be relatively slightly larger.
The air in the air refrigerator will keep flowing, so that it is easy to lead to the water loss of the food in the refrigerator, resulting in the sign of “air drying”, but now most people use plastic wrap or crisper box to store, which basically has no impact. There are also brands that add moisture, like Sharp’s Hydrating, which adds a moisture pad to the freezer to stop signs of drying out.
And in the single cycle of air cooled refrigerator, because only the cold room and the cold room have a circulation system, the air flow will circulate between this, it is possible to cause the cold room to the cold room smell signs, so that most single cycle air cooled refrigerator, urban use some deodorization technology. If it is a multi-cycle refrigerator, each use a separate circulation system, can be very good to prevent the odor problem.
In addition, in the air-cooled refrigerator, there are some other direct air cold box, the cold room of this kind of direct air cold box uses direct cold, and the cold room accepts air cooling, can prevent some air cooling odor and dry problems, but the condenser used in this refrigerator is smaller than the general ventilation cold, the use of non-ferrous metal is less, the cost is lower but the price is not low. This kind of refrigerator is not common in the market, only a few models use direct air cooling, so it is not recommended to buy enough.
