The peak of household electricity use in summer is, in addition to the cold air of the Great Demon King, refrigerators are also a great source. If the refrigerator's electricity costs can be reduced, household expenses can also be reduced; more importantly, the refrigerator can operate efficiently to maintain normal performance and prevent food from rotting too quickly.
And what kind of refrigerator is the most energy-saving? Factors such as the size, service life, and performance level of the refrigerator will affect the power consumption of the refrigerator. "Yuanqi.com" compiles the recommended energy-saving methods by many refrigerator manufacturers, and 7 tips can help you effectively save electricity.
1. The operation principle of the top or surrounding empty refrigerator is that in order to cool the inside of the refrigerator, the heat generated will be emitted from the top and back of the refrigerator. Therefore, if you place items on the top or around the refrigerator, or place the refrigerator too close to the wall, it will prevent heat dissipation.Therefore, make sure to leave enough space around the refrigerator to dissipate. The back of the refrigerator should be kept at least 10 cm away from the wall wall, and at least 30 cm of space should be retained on the top part. More than 10 cm of space should be left on the left and right sides to maintain a good ventilation and heat dissipation space and improve the efficiency of transportation.
It is also necessary to avoid placing the refrigerator in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as stoves to prevent the surrounding temperature from rushing and increasing power consumption.
2. The refrigerator maintains 5-70% of the bestThe amount of food in the refrigerator will also affect the electricity fee. Many people always fill up the refrigerator when it is opened, but the refrigerator is too full and the cold air cannot be circulated normally, which will consume about 4% to 5% more electricity.
It is best to keep the refrigerator at 5-70% capacity. Do not exceed 80% to maintain the air circulation in the refrigerator and improve the efficiency of cold air circulation.
But if the refrigerator is really in short supply, it is recommended to put some ice packs or a bottle of ice water to keep the temperature low and improve energy efficiency.
3. Reduce the refrigerator opening and closing doorFrequently opening and closing of the refrigerator, or open the door for a long time, will cause energy waste, so don't open the refrigerator frequently.
4. Fixed food storage locationSome people put the ingredients in the refrigerator at will when they buy them home. Sometimes they forget to leave them until they are out of date. When they need to eat, open the refrigerator and search for a long time.
The faster you find the items you need, the shorter the time you open the refrigerator door, the less energy you spend. Therefore, do not stuff the refrigerator too much, keep the interior of the refrigerator clean and place the items in an orderly manner, so that you can quickly find the ingredients you need and shorten the time to open the refrigerator door.
5. After the food is cooled, put it in the refrigerator. After the food is cooled, put it in the refrigerator to reduce external heat and enter the refrigerator. 6. Refrigerator temperature settingSet the refrigerator temperature to the optimal temperature to save household electricity. Adjust according to the use guidelines of refrigerator brands, and adjust the temperature settings according to the appropriate temperature during the season. It is generally recommended to set the temperature of the refrigerator between 3 and 5 degrees Celsius, which can prevent food from rotting and retain nutrients.
7. Choose energy refrigeratorsto eliminate electricity-consuming old refrigerators and switch to new energy-efficient refrigerators. The Ministry of Economic Affairs Energy Administration recommends that the energy and household appliances be selected with reference to the "Energy Efficiency Grade Tag" on the product, the smaller the grade, the more energy is, the more energy is. First-class refrigerators have been replaced with old machines for more than 10 years, and the reduced carbon emissions are comparable to 22 large trees planted.
