  2. Human power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_power

    Human power is the rate of work or energy that is produced from the human body. It can also refer to the power (rate of work per time) of a human. Power comes primarily from muscles, but body heat is also used to do work like warming shelters, food, or other humans. World records of power performance by humans are of interest to work planners ...

  3. Cryostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryostat

    The cryostat is essentially an ultrafine "deli-slicer", called a microtome, placed in a freezer. The cryostat is usually a stationary upright freezer, with an external wheel for rotating the microtome. The temperature can be varied, depending on the tissue being cut usually from −20 °C to −30 °C. The freezer is either powered by ...

  4. Auto-defrost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-defrost

    While this technique was originally applied to the refrigerator compartment, it was later used for freezer compartment as well. A combined refrigerator/freezer which applies self-defrosting to the refrigerator compartment only is usually called "partial frost free" or semi-automatic defrost (some brands call these "Auto Defrost" while Frigidaire referred to their semi-automatic models as ...

  5. Freeze drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze_drying

    Freeze-dried strawberries. Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization or cryodesiccation, is a low temperature dehydration process [1] that involves freezing the product and lowering pressure, thereby removing the ice by sublimation. [2] This is in contrast to dehydration by most conventional methods that evaporate water using heat.

  6. Absorption refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_refrigerator

    An absorption refrigerator is a refrigerator that uses a heat source to provide the energy needed to drive the cooling process. Solar energy, burning a fossil fuel, waste heat from factories, and district heating systems are examples of convenient heat sources that can be used. An absorption refrigerator uses two coolants: the first coolant ...

  7. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

    The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. [1][2] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs. The COP is used in thermodynamics.

  9. Refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator

    The freezer control knob only controls the amount of air that flows into the refrigerator via a damper system. [35] Changing the refrigerator temperature will inadvertently change the freezer temperature in the opposite direction. [citation needed] Changing the freezer temperature will have no effect on the refrigerator temperature. The freezer ...
