Basic definitions and explanations

The criteria for choosing a refrigeration unit largely depend on the technical side of the model. Let's figure out the basic definitions.

In order to avoid mistakes when choosing a refrigeration system, first of all, it is worth studying the statistics of breakdowns and understanding the names of functions.

Snowflake "*" on the freezer - minimum temperature maintained class:

Class	Temperature	Food storage
«*»	-6 degrees	2-4 weeks
«**»	-12 degrees	2-8 months
«***»	-18 degrees	annual
«****»	-24 degrees	long-term storage of large quantities of food

How many degrees should the refrigerator be? The answer to this question is ambiguous, since different foods are stored at a certain temperature. The average temperature of the refrigerator compartment is up to +8 degrees. Using this information, there will be no leading question: "How to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator compartment?"

Where is the cooler bottom or top in the refrigerator? In a refrigerator with two chambers, the coldest places are those that are located near the grates with airflow (often the top of the compartments).

In single-chamber models with a freezer at the top, the coldest place is the shelf under the chamber.

How do I adjust the temperature? The types of settings are different for each model, so adjustments should be made strictly according to the instructions.

How does the No Frost system work? Cold air circulates, forming frost, which melts after a certain period of time. The liquid water flows into the sump and evaporates there.

Energy classes:

Class	Saving	Efficiency
"AND"	up to 35 percent	42-55%
"A +"	up to 50 percent	33-42%
"A ++"	up to 50 percent	22-33%

The climate class is responsible for the operating conditions of the refrigerator in the environment:

Class	Name	Temperature
"N"	normal	from +16 to +32 degrees
"SN"	subnormal	from +10 to +32 degrees
"ST"	subtropical	from +18 to +38 degrees
"T"	tropical	from +18 to +43 degrees

"Superfreezing" is a short-term measure for fast freezing of food (up to -24 degrees).
