What are the benefits and drawbacks of air-cooled refrigerators
The benefit of air-cooled refrigerator
The biggest benefit of air-cooled refrigerators is that the above-mentioned will not frost, eliminating the need to defrost once or twice a year, without worrying about the frost leading to a decrease in cooling capacity. Save energy there!
Due to the rapid flow of cold air, the cooling rate is faster than the direct cooling refrigerator, a short period of time can be the refrigerator temperature down, cutting down the time of things, but also make the temperature in the refrigerator double the balance. And the faster the cooling rate, the less cellular fragmentation of meat, conducive to the preservation of superior taste.
Air-cooled ice does not need to condensation tube to occupy space, the available volume in the refrigerator is larger than the direct cooling, the space exercise rate is high. If there are large instruments can not be put, you can take out all the drawers, the space inside is the whole. This point direct cooling can not do.
The air-cooled refrigerator flaw
Air-cooled refrigerators are generally more expensive than direct-cooled refrigerators, and the capacity starts high (usually above 260L). Due to the need to keep using the fan to circulate air, some people reflect the fan sound is larger (not high-frequency noise, high-frequency noise is usually caused by the inverter compressor, inverter compressor in the direct cooling and air-cooled are used), the best can go to the store to feel. Because the fan needs to keep rotating, plus every 8 hours once the evaporator heating defrost, in order to be more power consumption than the direct cooling, but because the cooling rate is fast, power consumption will only be relatively slightly larger.
Air-cooled refrigerator air will keep flowing, so it is easy to cause the freezer in the food moisture loss, resulting in “air dry” signs, but now most people use cling film or fresh box to store, this aspect of the basic no impact. There are also some brands will join the moisturizing effect, such as Sharp’s water freshness, in the freezer added moisture plate, can stop the air dry signs.
And in the single-cycle air-cooled refrigerator, because only the freezer and freezer room only a circulation system, airflow will circulate between this, it is possible to flood the freezer room to the freezer room crosstalk signs, in order to most single-cycle air-cooled refrigerator, urban use some deodorization technology. If it is multi-circulation refrigerator, each use a separate circulation system, can be a good way to stop the problem of crosstalk.
In addition, in the air-cooled refrigerator, some other is wind straight cold refrigerator, this wind straight cold refrigerator freezer room use straight cold, and freezer room accept air-cooled, can stop some air-cooled string taste and air dry problem, but this kind of refrigerator use condenser than universal air-cooled to small, use of non-ferrous metal is also less some, cost is lower but the selling price is not low. This kind of refrigerator in the market is not very common, only a few models use wind direct cooling, so it is not recommended enough to buy.
