What might cause a chemical smell coming from a refrigerator?
I have a fridge Id been storing, unplugged, in the garage and it smells like chemicals now. I've wanted to sell it but I have no idea why it smells so bad.If your store a refrigerator in the cellar or wherever tape a little block of wood or a sock etc to the frame of the doors this will prevent that stale odor from occurring because now you have air changing in the unit. The refrigerator should be clean and dry. Also put an open box of baking soda, charcoal or coffee or an open container of coffee in freezer and refrigerator sections which will absorb odor.Check your defrost drip pan behind the grate at the bottom of refrigerator clean the pan and vacuum the condenser while your at it (it is the black wires sticking out from a series of black tubes).
What are the top 20 uses of combustion in our day-to-day life?
- to run vehicles - to cook food - to light a candle or lamp - to light a matchstick - to destroy organic wastes at home - used in water heaters -that's all what i can think of now......
How does the refrigarator or freezer work to keep things cold?
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, heat pumps(air and ground source) all work on the principles of refrigeration. Modern refrigerators don't use Chlorofluorocarbons because CFCs are harmful to the atmospheric ozone layer when released. Instead they use various other refrigerants that are now primarily Hydrofluorocarbons. In new refrigerators a gas called HFC-134a, also called tetrafluoroethane is used. HFC-134a turns into a liquid when it is cooled to -15.9 degrees Fahrenheit (-26.6 degrees Celsius). A motor and compressor squeezes the gas (refrigerant). When it is compressed, a gas heats up as it is pressurized. When you pass the compressed gas through the coils on the back or bottom of a modern refrigerator, the warmer gas can lose its heat to the air in the room. According to the laws of thermodynamics: 1) As it cools, the refrigerant will change into a liquid when it is under enough high pressure. 2) Something that is hot will give up its heat to its colder surroundings. The liquid flows through what's called an expansion valve, a small hole that regulates how fast the liquid refrigerant squeezes through. Between the valve and the compressor, there is a low-pressure area because the compressor is pulling the gas out of that side (while compressing it on the other). When the liquid HFC hits a low pressure area it boils and changes into a gas. This is called vaporizing. Remember that the refrigerant boils (or vaporizes) at minus 15.9 degrees F. That is always going to be colder than the surrounding air temperature in the fridge and even the freezer. Therefore, as the refrigerant within the coils (evaporator) passes through the freezer and regular part of the refrigerator, the colder liquid in the coils pulls the heat out of the compartments. This makes the inside of the freezer and entire refrigerator cold. The compressor sucks up the cold gas, and the gas goes back to the compressor to start the process over. A thermostat regulates when the desired temperatures in the cold compartments have been reached by turning the compressor on or off.
Why ipv5 not used now?
because it is used for the experiment purpose ie it is used for stream protocol
What was neon originally used for?
Neon is in used glow lamps, electron tubes, signs, plasma studies, fluorescent starter tubes, cryogenic refrigeration and gas lasers. Neon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless monatomic gas, belonging to the Group VIIIA elements, called noble or inert gases.Neon is used in industry as a refrigerant due to is low boiling point as well as in the sign industry where it is valued for the natural emittance of red light when electrified inside of a controlled environment. Learn more about the use of Neon in the sign industry at http://www.empressneon.com, a place where your questions about neon are answered.
Do ice cream makers use freon?
Compressor ice cream makers use a refrigerant liquid like in a refrigerator or air conditioner. Older units did use freon as the refrigerant, but that is now banned.
What the problem when your refrigerator stop working because you notice 6 little fork holes are in the top freezer part?
If you have an older refrigerator that needs to be manually defrosted and you have scraped the ice from the coils compartment with a fork, you probably pierced the coils and now have no coolant in the refrigerant system. Time for a new refrigerator.
What do you mean by refrigerator?
Fridge is now used as a short term for refrigerator. But now with words having double meanings, fridge is a term used for people who have never been french kissed.
Can you use refrigerant 134a in a 2003 Chevy Malibu?
YES--now days 134a coolant is used in all systems.
What type of Refrigerant is used in a 1996 Windstar?
Answer It is R-134a. You can get this just about anywhere now. Walmart, etc. Good luck.
What is the function of condencer in refrigerator?
Any refrigeration system (home air conditioner, refrigerator, automotive air conditioner...) uses the evaporation cycle of the refrigerant to remove heat from an object.The evaporation cycle of refrigeration systems is as follows:Refrigerant is compressed by the compressor. When the refrigerant is compressed the heat is forced into a smaller volume, raising the temperature of the refrigerant.The hotter refrigerant is then passed through a cooling coil, also called a condenser and air is passed across the hot coils, cooling the compressed refrigerant to room temperature, or close. The refrigerant, now under much higher pressure then changes state from a gas to a liquid.The refrigerant is then allowed to pass through an orifice, allowing the compressed refrigerant to expand. When the refrigerant expands it changes back to a gas, the temperature drops. The process is called "heat of vaporization".The chilled refrigerant is then passed through an expansion coil where something (air, water... whatever is being refrigerated) gets cooler.From there, the refrigerant is again compressed, starting the cycle over.As you can see, the condenser is essential to the refrigeration process. If the condenser develops a leak, the refrigerant is lost. If the condenser is kinked, refrigerant cannot get past. If air is blocked from passing over the condenser, the refrigerant cannot be cooled.
What is the type of freon gas used in central air conditioner unit?
They use R410a eco friendly refrigerant gas now.
What do refrigerators use to absorb heat and lower the temperature of the food inside?
FREON. Freon is now illegal because it damages the Earth's ozone layer. The replacement refrigerant is the inert gas tetrafluoroethane commonly called R134a. Also note that the refrigerator does not"absorb" the heat. It is transferred from inside the compartment to outside the compartment. It does this by the use of two heat exchangers. One transfers the heat from the inside to the refrigerant and the second transfers the heat from the refrigerant to the outside.
What AC refrigerant is used for a 1989 Ford Tarus?
R12 was used up until 1992. R134 Is what is used now, and you can even check to see if yours was converted from R12 To R134A
Where do you stock breads that will be used two days from now?
You can keep them in room temperature space with not too much moisture, or you can store them in the refrigerator.
What gas is used in air conditioner?
As of now, Air conditioner uses R22 refrigerant. In coming days ACs will come with refrigerants such as R410A, R407C etc.
