What is the FRESH FROST FREE system in refrigerators?


When buying a refrigerator, you will hear definitions of drip type systems, No Frost, and also a combined FROST FREE type. In all these definitions it is easy to get confused and even if you translate English words into a foreign language, you will not understand everything.


The first word FRESH is translated as fresh, reminding that in this refrigerator system [frost-free-freezers] the products remain fresh. As for the word FRESH, then this is translated into hoarfrost. Literally free means free, but in different phrases this word can mean free pay and so on, so most likely it is a word for the advertising move. Adding all these words, we get a combination - freshness, frost and free. What gives us only a reminder, but not a definition. But in fact, these advertising words mean a combined cooling system for two-compartment refrigerators.

In this system that droplets during thawing increase the humidity in the upper compartment of the refrigerator, while the more progressive No Frost system does not have an evaporator on the rear wall, and the upper chamber of the refrigerator is cooled by a stream of cold air. With this cooling the humidity is much lower. Now let's define what happens when using the FRESH FROST FREE technology. In this technology, the freezing and refrigerating compartments are divided among themselves. But despite this, one compressor allows to carry out the refrigerant in two circuits, and in the bottom freezer compartment cooling is provided by the FROST FREE system, with a phased freezing and thawing, but the upper compartment is cooled by a drop system. Freshness is achieved to a temperature of +5 degrees in the upper compartment and a humidity of 70-80%.

To summarize, it should be noted that the name FRESH FROST FREE, is nothing more than an advertising move. In fact, this is an advertisement of the usual well-known drop system.
