It is undeniable that the refrigerator is one of the electronic devices that consume electricity large enough, this is caused by several factors, among them is that the refrigerator is used all the time, always connected to the mains in a state "on".
To answer consumer complaints in the refrigerator wasteful consumption of electrical energy, some companies with famous brand mencogba innovate, one of the technologies introduced in the fridge to save energy, among other things, the Linear Compressor Refrigerator. With this technology, the refrigerator can save electricity up to 41 percent compared to the previous generation of artificial refrigerator.
Linear Refrigerator Compressor is a linear compressor technology. The compressor works with the direction of movement, in contrast with the compressor in the refrigerator in general are working with two-way movement. Thus produced with this technology is successful refrigerator saves more energy.
There are also manufacturers who claim that taking such a homemade refrigerator door only consumes electric power of 22 watts. .
Other products issued refrigerator energy efficient by using energy as needed and inverters to reduce energy consumption by 40%. In addition it is claimed as a refrigerator freon-free products that are environmentally friendly.
Recently also developed compressor that can save more energy. Development is done by reducing friction, optimizing compression, and improve efficiency.
Some manufacturers also try another way. For example, the innovation system of opening and closing the door to ensure no waste of energy to cool happen.
Ways to save electricity for the refrigerator at home:
Try not too often / long open refrigerator door, because it will lead to increased performance of the compressor so that the power consumption will increase as well. For every minute you open the refrigerator door, in 3 minutes full of energy needed to restore the refrigerator temperature to the desired temperature.
Make sure the refrigerator door is always tightly closed, to outsmart, you can put a wooden board under the feet of the front of the refrigerator so that the refrigerator is in a position tilted backwards, this will cause the refrigerator door always closes by itself.
Set the refrigerator temperature as needed.
Do not include food and drinks are still hot into the fridge, because it would make the fridge work harder to cool it with the result that the greater the power consumption.
Place the refrigerator away from heat sources such as stoves or ovens. Leave a gap of at least 5 to 7 cm from the wall, so that air can circulate freely around it.
Place the food in a container that is small, if not try to use container sizes of food or beverages in a size too small, smaller size requires less energy to cool.
Arrange the contents of the fridge in the correct order according to their appropriation, such as meat or fish is placed on the top shelf. In addition, give the space between the food or container so that cold air can flow freely.
Do not fill the fridge with full / dense as it makes the refrigerator work less efficiently.
Make sure the rubber cover around the door clean and tight. Rubber cover is still good to be able to clamp a piece of paper. If the paper can easily pull in, it's time to replace the rubber cover.
Tips to choose a refrigerator that is energy efficient
Usually a refrigerator that is energy efficient Energy Star logo. This logo indicates that the model can save more energy efficient.
Note the energy guide. Some products have a distinctive mark. For example, in addition to the freezer (side-by-side) is better than a refrigerator with a freezer on top (freezer-on-top), and the manual-defrost freezer with energy consuming only half of self-defosters.
If your refrigerator has more than 10 years old, consider buying a new refrigerator. Because technology is always evolving toward a better, nor with the refrigerator, with the passage of time, every manufacturer will replace the production of goods with more energy efficient.
