Does a refrigerator have a separate fan for the refrigerator?

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.

How does the heat get away from the back of the fridge?

It gets offputered by the light and the fan which moves round and round.

How does a refrigerator or freezer work to keep things cold?

Both the refrigerator and the freezer have fans to keep it at cold temperatures.

PV=RT;

A compressor raises the pressure of the gas volume V and temperature rises. A fan blows away the heat into the room. Then the gas pressure is dropped in the refrig cold room and the temperature drops in the cold room, PV=RT. The heat in the cold room heats up the gas and the volume goes to the compressorr again, ec,etc,etc.

What happens when the door open of refrigerator in a room?

The refrigeration equipment runs constantlty, heating the room. A fridge just removes heat from the inside area and pushes it out the rear coils. Any heat generated by the compressor is added to this.

Can you lay a sub zero refrigerator on its back?

It can be done, but I would not. For transportation with no other option, yes. If you do move it this way, do not turn it on for a few hours. The oil inside the compressor will flow into the system and will need to drain back into the compressor.

If you have to lay it down, do so for as brief a period as possible. Oil inside the coil, evap and condenser are all bad for the system.

Can chocolate marshmallow eggs go bad if in the refrigerator 8 months?

Microbiologically, they should be OK since they are a shelf stable product. But they could pick up flavors from the fridge and the chocolate could 'bloom' and turn white/gray.

Fridge was brand of refrigerator?

How does the refrigerator or freezer work yo keep things cold?

Refrigeration works by drawing heat away from the unit. It does this through a process of evaporation.

What size generator is needed to run a refrigerator?

Depending on size of Fridge. But AVERAGE is 12 volts for fridge, circuit necessity 15 amps

Can you switch on a fridge straight away when it has been moved to a new room?

Yes.

There is no reason not to, as long as it is positioned correctly, in accordance with the instructions.

How does moisture form on the exterior of your refrigerator?

If the exterior of the fridge is colder than the dewpoint of the surrounding air. For instance if the area around the door seal is 45 degrees, and the dewpoint is 50 degrees, you will get moisture accumulation. Either dehumidify the air or raise the temperature of the refrigerator, or check the door seal.

What is the function of compressor in refrigerator?

A refrigerator compressor is the center of the refrigeration cycle. It works as a pump to control the circulation of the refrigerant, and it adds pressure to the refrigerant, heating it up. The compressor also draws vapor away from the evaporator to maintain a lower pressure and lower temperature before sending it to the condenser.

Can you replace a 15 amp fuse for fridge with a 20 amp fuse?

no you cannot, it is dangerous, you need to have a 20 amp service installed in order to do that. hope i helped

Are there laws about keeping andor storing an empty refrigerator outside the home?
