Best Answer

The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas. This raises the refrigerant's pressure and temperature, so the heat-exchanging coils outside the refrigerator allow the refrigerant to dissipate the heat of pressurization.

Can you conserve heat released in a refrigerator?

As refrigerators give off heat from the back, the only real way to conserve the heat from it is to use it in a room that is already cold. Thus using the heat from the heat exchange on the back to add to any heat source in the room. This will not act as a heater for the room but may help to maintain the temperature very slightly when the heating is turned off.
