Short answer, no. In an average kitchen, a black refrigerator would have to be in direct sunlight most of the day. Ambient room temperature would not heat it more than a white refrigerator. If the black refrigerator has excellent insulation, it may be more energy efficient than a different color, even when outside in direct sunlight.

How does a heat mover absorbs heat from cold air?

A good example of this process is a refrigerator. Electricity is used to power the refrigerator to keep it cool. The room that the fridge is in is warmer. Normally the warm air from the room should flow into the refrigerator until they are the same temperature. The heat mover, which is the refrigerator in this case, absorbs the heat the cooler air absorbs, and moves it back into the room. This keeps the fridge at a constant temperature.

Is refrigerator works at -10 degree Celsius atmosphere?

If your refrigerator is outside in -10 degree Celsius weather I find that the refrigerator is unnecessary. If you do decide to still use the refrigerator outside make sure your refrigerator has a power source so that it can keep running.


Why are solar panels usually in black?

black absorbs the light! and solar power uses the sun! more sun absorption more solar power! I thought the electrical current was produced by short-wave radiation, not infra-red (heat). in fact, as the heat goes up, the efficiency of the solar cell goes down.
