Hi guys, I was wondering whether anybody knew answers to the following or where I would be able to get the information for the following questions:
Firstly, how long it would take the temperature inside a cold appliance to raise by 1 degree celsius?
Secondly, how long would it take to decrease the temperature of a cold appliance by 1 degree celsius (without opening it)?
Thirdly, what the maximum variation in temperature would be until it had an effect on the contents of the cold appliances?With respect to the above questions, would this vary with manufacturers?
Help on this matter would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.Re: re: temperatures in cold appliances
hello, not only would this information vary with manufacturer, but there would be a whole host of other variables which would affect temperature rise or fall inside a cabinet.
i would think this is almost impossible to generally quantify.Re: re: temperatures in cold appliances
If I may……
A domestic appliance has only to fulfill the role of keeping food fresh/frozen to the following parameters, 0 to 5 degrees for a fridge or -8 to -18 degrees for a freezer.A fridge for instance depending on the design of the system can switch on/off as many times as necessary to achieve the desired results, its efficency is highlighted in its “eco” rating. As long as it performs, it is suitable.
A freezer has only to conform to 1 month, 2 month or 3 month storage of frozen food, -8, -12 or -18, how efficient it is at doing so is not in our sphere of operations.
On top of this ambient temperature would increase/decrease the efficiency of any product, as would door openings and general use of the appliance.
So, to answer your questions, they are specifically unanswerable, there are far too many variables involved, as repairers we have to evaluate each and every repair as we find it.
