If you feel behind a fridge, you will feel the warm air. This warmth is from the inside of the fridge as the inside is cooled, and from the pump.

How does a heat mover absorb 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.

Cold air in the refrigerator escapes and is replaced by warm humid room air. This usually triggers the refrigerator mechanism to cool that air, if you leave the door open too long you can waste lots of electricity.


Why a room can be warmed by leaving open the door of an oven but cannot be cooled by leaving open the door of a kitchen refrigerator?

Leaving the oven door open allows heat to escape into the room, warming it up. On the other hand, leaving the refrigerator door open lets the warm air from the room enter the refrigerator, making it work harder to cool and not affecting the room temperature significantly.


Is it possible to cool down a room on a hot summer day by leaving the refrigerator door open?

Assuming I've interpreted your question correctly, the answer is No: A refrigerator is a heat exchanger; it removes heat from the inside and pumps it to the outside -- to plates on the rear of the fridge. If you feel the back of a refrigerator, it will be warm. You may think that if you separated the plates from the "cooling" part of the fridge and put them outside the room, it would cool the room. And in that case, you'd be correct -- that's how air conditioning works.


What is the temperature of the room at the end of 0.7 hour if all the energy remains in the air in the room and none is added by an outside source?

Why cant opening the door of the refrigerator will cool the kitchen?

If you have noticed the warm air blowing from behind your refrigerator, that is the heat that was in the air that is inside your refrigerator. If you leave the door open the air around the refrigerator will briefly feel cold, but it will warm back up and the food in the refrigerator will go bad.
