MORE ABOUT YOUR REFRIGERATOR

HOW A ROTARY REFRIGERATOR COMPRESSOR MOVES REFRIGERANT
As heat-saturated vapor enters from the refrigerator evaporator via the suction line, it smooth a chamber which is increasing in size as the rotor spins. The negative pressure created by the enlarging chamber polio the refrigerant into the chamber until the opposite blade passes the suction, at point; the refrigerant is being squeezed into an area which is decreasing size. As the leading blade passes the discharge port, this compressed vapor call sent out the discharge port. Oil is pumped through the center of the shaft which drives the rotor, thoroughly lubricating all of the components of the sealed assembly. This oil pressure of the centrifugal force from the spinning rotor (as fast as 3450 rpm). The oil also acts as an effective seal, preventing "blow-by" of the pressurized refrigerant into the low-pressure suction area.

The all-important oil is sealed into the refrigerator compressor along with the motor and pump assembly. If you should encounter a refrigerator which has been leaking oil side for any reason (moving, etc.) allow it to stand upright for at least twenty hours before starting it, to be sure that sufficient oil has returned to the refrigerator compressor. Otherwise, damage might occur to the highly polished surfaces and the refrigerator compressor would shortly fail. There, a cooling pulls loom air across the heat that allows the hot refrigerant vapor to condense into liquid. It is imperative that a free air flow be provided through the refrigerator condenser, regardless of type.

 On a static refrigerator condenser, a yearly cleaning with the brush of a vacuum cleaner is sufficient. Forced-air refrigerators are much more critical. The increased air flow across the refrigerator condenser and creates a buildup of lint and dust. These should be cleaned more frequently at least every month or two. The housekeeper should make it a habit to vacuum accumulations away each time she vacuums. Follow the instructions that came with the refrigerator and be earful not to kink or bend any refrigerant tubing while cleaning.





 Lint on refrigerator condensers, whether static of forced-air types, is an enemy of the system and may result in severe damage to the refrigerator compressor in extreme cases. The best preventative is a periodic schedule of refrigerator cleaning. Air blockage of a forced-air condenser can be a serious matter. If the coil becomes completely blocked, the refrigerant is unable to condense back to the liquid state. It reenters the evaporator as a warm vapor. Evaporator temperatures rise and food thaws. In severe cases the compressor may become so hot that the overload protector will cycle it off. If this continues over an extended period, insulation of the refrigerator compressor motor windings may be damaged. The result is: in expensive system repair or possibly even a compressor replacement.

Major Kitchen Appliances - More Tips For Buying

Purchasing major kitchen appliances (refrigerators, stoves, freezers, dishwashers, ovens, microwave ovens etc) can be a big investment so it's very important to ensure that each appliance can do exactly what you expect it to do. As well it must suit and blend in with the decor of your kitchen. This means that buying cheap kitchen appliances which may seem appealing from a money point of view may not necessarily be the best way in the long run. However, I'm not saying there aren't bargains to be found but taking a bit of time to look into performance, functionality and appearance can often mean the difference between an average result and an outstanding result.


So what should you look for when considering the purchase of large kitchen appliances?

PERFORMANCE

This is the starting point. It's critical that the kitchen appliances you finally decide on will perform efficiently, quietly (in the case of dishwashers especially), and reliably.

Efficiency - These days with most appliances energy ratings are provided to assist in deciding how friendly they are to the environment and your wallet. Something to consider before you buy rather than after when it's too late. Also look into the actual use of the appliances. For example, how long does a particular oven take to heat up compared to others or how long does a dishwasher take to complete its cycle and are there different settings for very dirty dishes as well as lightly soiled ones?
Noise Levels - With refrigerators, freezers, microwave ovens and dishwashers, noise levels can vary tremendously from one make to another. There is nothing worse than a loudly gurgling refrigerator in the background when you are trying to have a quiet meal or a dishwasher that sounds like a freight train. Most manufacturers will stipulate noise levels in their literature, so compare and beware.
Reliability - Most well known brands of kitchen appliances like Maytag, Westinghouse, Miele and KitchenAid to name just a few, have very good reputations for reliability. These days, there are more electronic controls rather than knobs which mean fewer parts to wear out. Talking to people who actually own the brand appliances that you are interested in is a good way to judge reliability. The internet is a great way to find this sort of information and this site in particular, is an excellent source of information. http://forums.consumerreports.org/n/forumIndex.aspx?webtag=cr-kitchenIdx.

FUNCTIONALITY

You need to decide exactly what you want the appliance to do. For example if you entertain a lot, you may need a larger than normal oven or six hotplates instead of four or maybe a larger than normal freezer so you can prepare food in advance and freeze it. It's very important to work this out before you buy to ensure the appliances you finally decide on do exactly what you need.

The size of the space available should also be a consideration to ensure that the appliances will actually fit into your kitchen. The last thing you need is to have to remodel or customize your kitchen because the fantastic two door refrigerator you bought wouldn't fit into the space allocated. A simple plan of your kitchen with measurements is often all it takes to ensure that size is not an issue.





APPEARANCE

Large kitchen appliances now come in different colors and finishes from enamel to stainless steel to woodgrain. Some, like dishwashers, can be integrated into cupboard areas. Your taste in decor and how you want your kitchen to look will be the ultimate decider in the color and finish you choose. In my experience, it is best to make appearance the last criteria in choosing your new kitchen appliances only because you are less likely to lower your standards when it comes to performance or functionality without careful thought.

When you have an idea on what you want, visit a couple of the larger appliance retailers so you can see what is available in major kitchen appliances and how they match up with your needs.
