Freezers: how to choose the best one
Freezers and refrigerators are rightly considered an indispensable household appliance, because their main purpose is to keep food stocks in a usable condition for as long as possible. In terms of their purpose and properties they can be quite diverse – they are cabinets, chests and display cases. In addition to food, they can also preserve flowers, cosmetics and medicines, wines, fur and tobacco products and even blood plasma. And a feature such as an ice maker allows you to quickly prepare ice for a variety of needs.
The structure of the refrigerating chamber looks like a box, inside which there are sandwich panels with polyurethane foam thermal insulation filling like in a No Frost freezer. Thanks to this the consumer can use it both indoors and outdoors.
Refrigeration chambers differ in their assembly. Most often they are assembled from building panels with the addition of corners and fittings. With this assembly, any shape and size of the chamber can be created.
The principle of operation of the cold room is to evaporate liquid freon, which goes through special tubes, evaporates and thus cools the surface of the tube. And only after cooling of the freezing chamber freon is in the refrigerating chamber. Then the motor is switched off. As it reaches a certain temperature, unacceptable for food storage, the motor starts its work again.
What is the best freezer to buy?
The answer to this question is based on the types of freezing equipment – whether it will be a cabinet or a display case. Freezers come in built-in and freestanding versions. How do you choose a freezer from these two options? Freestanding model should be selected taking into account the color solution of the kitchen design, but the built-in model can be hidden under the kitchen furniture, not attracting increased attention to it. As for the internal arrangement of the refrigerator and freezer, both variants do not have significant differences from each other. Each model has several plastic drawers behind the door, where it is convenient to store a variety of frozen products.
Today freezers are sold in every home appliance store. In addition, many online stores present a rich lineup of equipment from a variety of manufacturers for potential buyers to see. Users are very happy with Samsung refrigerators and freezers, because they are very convenient and easy to use, and serve perfectly for many years, and if suddenly your Samsung fridge is not cooling, in most cases you can fix it yourself.
Technical Specifications
The purpose of cold rooms can be the following: storage of chilled products; storage of frozen foods; storage of flowers; storage of vegetables, etc. In addition, the equipment is subdivided into blast chambers and cooling chambers. These models are used to reduce the temperature of products in the shortest possible time. Regarding temperature mode, a built-in cold room can be low-temperature, medium-temperature and blast chilled. The difference lies in the thickness of thermal insulation.
In the medium-temperature chamber, products can be stored at a temperature of 0 to +20 degrees. The thickness of its insulation is 50 – 100 mm. The low-temperature refrigerating chamber is intended for work in temperature conditions from -5 to -21 degrees. In this case the thickness of heat insulation is 100 – 200 mm, as in a glass refrigerated cabinet. Blast chambers with shock freezing work at the temperature of -30 degrees with the thickness of the insulator not less than 200 mm.
The best Freezers Manufacturers
Among the brands that produce built-in and freestanding freezers, perfectly proven themselves such well-known brands as: Liebherr, AEG, Miele, Samsung, and Electrolux. Choosing any model from the portfolio of one of these companies you can be absolutely sure in its quality and that your freezer will serve for the longest period of time.
As for design, we personally like the monumental Miele and technological Samsung with stylish minimalist Samsung Logo on the doors, which today the manufacturer offers in different colors.
