How much do you put in the refrigerator to save electricity? refrigerator
Modern people have long been accustomed to shopping at the supermarket on weekends, buying a lot of food, and stuffing the refrigerator to prevent emergencies. As everyone knows, this is a big taboo. Over time, food will breed bacteria and endanger health. In fact, a certain gap should be left between the food or containers in the refrigerator to facilitate the circulation of cold air and ensure the necessary temperature.
Chen Gang, deputy secretary-general of the China Home Appliances Association, believes that the food in the refrigerator should be packed at 60%, with a limit of 70% full. Any increase will affect the normal cooling function of the refrigerator.
"There is also a certain order of arrangement, so that we can make full use of the space." Qi Bing said that the main basis is two points, one is because different foods have different storage temperatures, and the other is to prevent odors.
The food placed in the freezer should be placed on different levels according to the time of consumption. Meals to be eaten within a day or two should be placed on the level directly visible to the line of sight; out of the line of sight, put food or seasonings that can be refrigerated for more than 2 weeks; for some irregularly shaped foods, such as fruits and vegetables, it is best to put them in the crisper, so that it is convenient to take and the refrigerator space can be more clearly separated.
The food in the freezer should be placed in raw foods such as meat, fish, and seafood on the bottom layer, frozen processed foods such as fish balls and dumplings on the middle layer, and small foods that need to be frozen on the top, such as cold drinks. The freezer in the drawer should also be placed in different drawers according to this category. And jar-shaped and bottle-shaped condiments are best placed on the refrigerator door.
Does the more stuff in the refrigerator save electricity?
Some people think that the amount of power consumption in the refrigerator is the same, and some people think that the less things I put, the more power I save. In fact, this is not the case. You can't put too little, otherwise the heat capacity will become smaller, and the compressor start and stop time will also be shortened, and the cumulative power consumption will increase. Therefore, if there is too little food in the refrigerator, it is best to use a few plastic boxes to hold water and put them in the freezer to freeze into ice cubes, and then put them in the freezer regularly to increase the capacity, which will not consume electricity. Of course, you can't put too much, not more than 80% of the volume of the refrigerator, otherwise it will also consume electricity.
