A block diagram is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks. [1] They are heavily used in engineering in hardware design , electronic design , software design , and process flow diagrams .
Food in a refrigerator with its door open. A refrigerator, commonly shortened to fridge, is a commercial and home appliance consisting of a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump (mechanical, electronic or chemical) that transfers heat from its inside to its external environment so that its inside is cooled to a temperature below the room temperature.

A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). [1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC. [2]
The stored energy can be released back to the network by discharging the coil. The power conditioning system uses an inverter/rectifier to transform alternating current (AC) power to direct current or convert DC back to AC power. The inverter/rectifier accounts for about 2–3% energy loss in each direction.

A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.
Simplified schematic of an I2L inverter. Integrated injection logic ( IIL , I 2 L , or I2L ) is a class of digital circuits built with multiple collector bipolar junction transistors (BJT). [ 1 ] When introduced it had speed comparable to TTL yet was almost as low power as CMOS , making it ideal for use in VLSI (and larger) integrated circuits .
Kelvinator ad from 1920 Kelvinator refrigerator, c. 1926 The enterprise was established on September 18, 1914, in Detroit , Michigan , United States, by engineer Nathaniel B. Wales , who introduced his idea for a practical electric refrigeration unit for the home to Edmund Copeland and Arnold Goss.
