Does a refrigerator have a separate fan for the refrigerator?

Answer 1

Refrigerators use refrigerants (liquids that evaporate easily at low

temperatures) to remove thermal

energy from food. The refrigerant

is pumped through coils inside

the refrigerator. As the refrigerant

evaporates, it absorbs thermal

energy from the items inside the

refrigerator, so they cool down.

The warmed gas is pumped to a

compressor at the back or bottom

of the refrigerator. When the

gas is compressed, its temperature

rises until it is above room temperature.

Then it loses thermal

energy to the air in the room and

condenses again into a liquid.
