IS IT BAD TO SLEEP NEXT TO A REFRIGERATOR? SHOCKING FACTS

A Refrigerator  commonly known as a  fridge is a machine which is mainly used for preserving perishable food products by storing them at low temperatures.

Cold temperatures help food stay fresh longer. The history of artificial refrigeration began in the year 1755. In 1834, the first working vapor-compression refrigeration system was built. The first commercial ice-making machine was invented in 1854. In 1913, refrigerators for home use were invented.

The basic idea behind refrigeration is to slow down the activity of bacteria so that it takes longer for the bacteria to spoil the food.

By reducing the temperature of the food, it will stay fresh for a week or two. The cold temperature inside the refrigerator decreases the activity of the bacteria that much. By freezing the food you can stop the bacteria and the food can last for months.

In olden days refrigeration was achieved by natural means such as the use of ice or evaporative cooling. In earlier times, ice was either: transported from colder regions, Harvested in winter and stored in ice houses for summer or, Made during night by cooling of water by radiation to stratosphere.

The main parts of a Refrigerator are-

•          Compressor
•          Heat-exchanging pipes
•          Expansion valve
•          Heat-exchanging pipes
•          Refrigerant

REFRIGERATOR WORKING:

The compressor constricts the refrigerant vapor, raising its pressure and temperature, and pushes it into the coils of the condenser on the outside of the refrigerator. The refrigerant absorbs the heat inside the fridge when it flows through the evaporator coils, cooling down the air inside the fridge.
