Refrigerators

I am not positive, but I think I have had mine for about 16 years now. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. That is the general area though.

Freezers help us keep food fresh longer and without this technology, we would not be able to enjoy ice cream and other frozen treats year round. Before the invention of air conditioning, refrigerators, and freezers, people used to keep their food cold in an ice box. During the spring and summer months, people would order ice that got delivered to their homes.

Freezers and refrigerators work by taking the heat out of the air. They start the process by removing the moisture from the surrounding air. Freezers rely on a compressor, a condenser and a thermostat. The thermostat measures the temperature. When it detects the temperature is too high, it sends a signal to the compressor.

A low pressure gas is emitted into the compressor. As the name implies, the compressor increases the pressure on the gas and makes it a hot high pressure gas. The refrigerant gas runs through condenser coils. The heat is dissipated away form the inside of the freezer while the gas goes. It goes into a capillary tube, where it gets converted back into a cold high pressure gas. The gas on the tubes on the inside of the freezer absorb the excess heat and their pressure becomes low again. The gas eventually finds it way back into the compressor. The compressor remains idle until the thermostat sends another single for the cycle to start all over again.

Freezer frequently include a defrost cycle that prevents ice from building up on the inside of the unit. The cycle runs from every six to 12 hours. The water gets collected on a pan and gets run through the condensers to cause the water to evaporate. Owners have the option to leave the defrost option on or turn it off on most models.

Now that you know that how your freezer works, you can go check on your ice cream. As long as your freezer is in good working order, it probably is still in solid form.

Good luck to you. I have a 1928 AP-5 that I am working on and It's looking like I having to fix the old one. I would be interested too if someone has prats out there ...............Thanks Matt ................mtthigginbotham@yahoo.com

298 k is room temp. Kelvin to celsius is straight addition and subtraction.

There are certain liquids available in the market which form a lamination ( I think the are some polyesters dissolved in a liquid and when the liquid dries up it stays as a coating) u can ask auto dealers about it. Trust me its better than doing nothing.

The refrigerator could be damaged if the food starts to rot. The fridge could absorb decomposition odors that make the unit unsalvageable.

Watts and Volts are two distinct types of measurement.

An apartment-sized (or dorm-sized) refrigerator is a half or 3/4 size refrigerator, generally without a full freezer compartment. Although they take up less space, the energy usage is comparable to a full-sized refrigerator. Their main advantage aside from price is that they take up less space-- a slightly smaller footprint, and often short enough that the top surface may be used as a counter-top. Specific dimensions depend on manufacturer and model.

The defrost timer is located behind the light panel in the ceiling of the fridge compartment. There are two screws that hold it against the plastic plate it sits on and hold the timer wheel against a hole in that plate which lets you advance it with out having to remove it.

yes slaping the steak directly on the fire/pan will make sure your steak is grey and chewy on the outside and under cooked in the middle.

you want your steak to be room temperature at least before you start

but for a truly wonderful steak follow the directions given by America's test kitchen cookbook. they figured out a way that basically simulates the curing processes used by the steakhouses

1) take steak and let it reach room temp

2) preheat your oven to 200 F or whatever the lowest setting is for your oven

3) let your steak sit in the oven for about an hour

4) pat dry with a paper towel

5) rubbed with oil and salt+pepper

6) sear the steak over high heat/flame and cook to your preference

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

the sciene behind this is that enzymes in the steak will work to make it more tender at certain temperatures and the drier you make your steak the more evenly it will cook, espcially for thick steaks.

You could, but it's not advisable. Moisture content from the compressor has to go somewhere - usually into the drip pan, but if that overflows, it's going to wind up in the carpet, which acts like a sponge and will harbor that stale water and the associated odors until you can move the fridge and clean up the spills.

Also, and spilled food inside the fridge, if it leaks out onto the carpet, could stain the carpet and/or leave bad odors in the carpet. Best to put the fridge on a surface other than carpet if at all possible.

the compressor pump will never stop running as the refrigerator will continuously try to cool the objects inside it and in turn continuously radiate heat from its radiator eventually the heat will balance out and even subdue the little bit of cooling whatsoever it'd do thus making the surrounding air more hot than chilly.

Probably most of the refrigerant has escaped or the compressor has seized. Mechanical things like this need to be run periodically to keep them properly lubricated.

because of the amount of muffins you have in it mr greedy.

New product development objectives for a new product would include: * Schedule of release * Safety and testing guidelines * List of features * Features for future release * Upgrade path * Financial and Budgetary objectives New product development objectives for an existing product would include: * Making the product better or safer * Making the product cheaper for the end-user * Making the product easier to sell * Upgrading the product to be state-of the-art * Adding more features to the product

Generally 2 to 8 °C (36 to 46 °F) is ideal for the refrigerator compartment and -18 °C (0 °F) for the freezer.

One way for refrigerant to escape the system is through a leak. This will be identifiable by an oily residue at the source of the leak commonly around joints and bends in the lines.

Before refrigeration, ice was an extreme luxury in the summer months. In Europe, drinks were kept chilled (and ices made) by bottling liquids and cooling them in a solution of water and saltpeter, which produces relatively low temperatures.

In general, households which had ice had generally stored some from winter, packed in sawdust, in an ice house. I remember being fascinated as a little girl reading the scene in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Farmer Boy where Almanzo and his family cut large blocks of ice from a pond with a huge saw and then pack and store them.

Those who didn't have the means or the wherewithal to store ice-which was most people-kept their food and drinks as cool as possible by storing them in window boxes, in spring houses where small streams ran through cool dark building, or even sometimes tied to lines under water in a lake or pond. As you can imagine, this wasn't terribly effective and many people died from eating spoiled food and/or dairy, most famously President Zachary Taylor who was said to have been brought down by a snack of cherries and cream eaten at an Independence Day celebration.

It wasn't until the latter part of the 19th century that refrigerated train cars came about as a means of shipping produce. The first of these were cooled by blocks of ice housed in insulating material (patented in 1867, I believe). Before that, all of the produce you could buy had to be grown locally. The invention of refrigerated train cars helped establish Chicago as the "hog butcher to the world" (because meat no longer had to be butchered on site and sold immediately) and California as a mass producer of "luxury" perishables (citrus fruits, peaches, avocados, etc.). The invention of refrigerated train cars made such an impact on society, that it is actually part of the U.S. History curriculum I teach to my 11th graders!

Hope this answers your question. It is amazing to think of how many years people lived without the modern conveniences we enjoy today.

I bought mine on August 15, 1992 and at that time it was a state of the art unit and is still operating well.

Earlier Alwyn refrigerators used to sport Hitachi compressors.

Neat dishwasher "Freshener/Cleaning fluid" can also be used just as you can use it for the seals on a dishwasher.

If the fridge's door seals are very dirty and/or covered in mold, first get as much the dirt and mold off as possible by wiping hard using neat disinfectant on a clean dry cloth. Follow that by wiping with neat washing-up liquid and rinsing off with clean water.

A silicone-compound grease, as sold for cleaning and lubricating car door seals in car parts stores, is a good lubricant to use when the door seal is clean but dry. A light overall smear of the grease is sufficient. Use the rest on your car's door-seals!

I believe people started using "fridge" for refrigerators because of the popular brand "Fridgedair"... like when people use "Kleenex" when they really mean facial tissue. It's a popular brand of that particular item, and everyone knows what you want when you ask for a kleenex
