Fridge Plan 2 CAD Block

A refrigerator is a common household appliance that uses a heat pump to transfer heat from the inside to the outside in order to cool the inside to a temperature below the ambient temperature of the room. It is used to store food and drinks at a temperature that slows the growth of bacteria, which helps to prevent spoilage. The optimal temperature for storing perishable food is between 3 to 5°C. Refrigerators have replaced the icebox, which was a popular appliance for storing food and drinks for over a hundred years. In some cases, a refrigerator may be referred to as an “icebox” in American English.
