  2. Pot-in-pot refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot-in-pot_refrigerator

    A pot-in-pot refrigerator, clay pot cooler [1] or zeer (Arabic: زير) is an evaporative cooling refrigeration device which does not use electricity. It uses a porous outer clay pot (lined with wet sand) containing an inner pot (which can be glazed to prevent penetration by the liquid) within which the food is placed.

  3. Why sudden loud booms sometimes occur when it's very cold outside

    During extreme cold events, you may hear a loud boom and feel like you have experienced an earthquake. However, this event was more likely a cryoseism, also known as an ice quake or a frost quake ...

  4. Auto-defrost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-defrost

    In newer designs, the timer only runs while the compressor runs, so the longer the refrigerator door is closed, the less time the heater will run for and the more energy is saved. A defrost thermostat opens the heater circuit when the evaporator temperature rises above a preset temperature, 40°F (5°C) or more, thereby preventing excessive ...

  5. Pulse tube refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_tube_refrigerator

    In most coolers gas is compressed and expanded periodically. Well-known coolers such as the Stirling engine coolers and the popular Gifford-McMahon coolers have a displacer that ensures that the cooling (due to expansion) takes place in a different region of the machine than the heating (due to compression). Due to its clever design, the PTR ...

  6. Dilution refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_refrigerator

    In the classic dilution refrigerator (known as a wet dilution refrigerator), the 3 He is precooled and purified by liquid nitrogen at 77 K and a 4 He bath at 4.2 K. Next, the 3 He enters a vacuum chamber where it is further cooled to a temperature of 1.2–1.5 K by the 1 K bath , a vacuum-pumped 4 He bath (as decreasing the pressure of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator

    A refrigerator maintains a temperature a few degrees above the freezing point of water. The optimal temperature range for perishable food storage is 3 to 5 °C (37 to 41 °F). [ 3 ] A freezer is a specialized refrigerator, or portion of a refrigerator, that maintains its contents’ temperature below the freezing point of water. [ 4 ]

    Peltier coolers are often used where a traditional vapor-compression cycle refrigerator would be impractical or take up too much space, and in cooled image sensors as an easy, compact and lightweight, if inefficient, way to achieve very low temperatures, using two or more stage peltier coolers arranged in a cascade refrigeration configuration ...
