Refrigerators
Refrigerators are an integral part of every Indian household. Before you buy a refrigerator, you need to know about the different types of refrigerators available. Not just that, you have to know the exact difference between them so that you can choose the best one for your home. There are basically two types of refrigerators popular in the market, and they are namely the traditional direct cool refrigerator and the modern frost free refrigerator. The following is the list of the fundamental differences between these two popular refrigerators for better selection based on information.
The Working Of Refrigerators –
Direct Cool – In this type of refrigerator, the air in circulation is cooled inside the fridge compartments by means of the natural convection process. As the process is natural, there is uneven temperature distribution due to which there is the formation of ice from the water vapor inside the refrigerator. There is no way to control the temperature distribution. The ice or frost can be noticed in and around the freezer box. This is exactly why it needs manual defrosting for which is a knob or button is provided. Due to this uneven temperature distribution, the direct cool refrigerator is limited to single door model only.
Frost Free – In this type of refrigerator, the basic operation is the same but inside of natural convection process, the air is circulated evenly with electric fans. Due to even distribution of cool air, there is no scope for the formation of ice or frost, and thereby, it lives up to its name. It has a timer and a thermostat which cuts off the power supply when the desired temperature is reached within the calculated period of time. Besides, in some model, there is a heating system working continuously to melt the ice formation automatically.
