How to adjust the refrigerator temperature Tips for saving power on refrigerators
Due to the large temperature difference between summer and winter, in order to save electricity and ensure the quality of food freezing, it is necessary to adjust the temperature control knob of the refrigerator in summer and winter.
Adjustment method: The temperature control knob generally has 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 times. The larger the number, the lower the temperature in the freezer. Generally, we put it on the 3rd gear in spring and autumn, depending on your requirements, whether the freezer can reach minus 18 degrees. In order to achieve the purpose of food preservation and power saving, we can hit gear 1 or 2 in summer and gear 4 or 5 in winter.
Some people may ask, if the temperature is low in winter, the temperature is set low (large value), and the temperature is high in summer, but the temperature is set high (small value). Is it wrong? That's because the temperature of the freezer compartment of the refrigerator is controlled by the temperature in the storage room. Look at your temperature control knob in the storage room. The temperature in the storage room is generally 4-8 degrees. In winter, the indoor temperature is close to this temperature. If the temperature control knob is still 3 or less than 3, the refrigerator compressor will rarely start, although the temperature in the storage room can be Meet the requirements, but the temperature of the freezer compartment cannot reach below minus 18 degrees, the food is prone to spoilage, and the food is thawed and melted in severe cases. In summer, the temperature is relatively high. If the temperature control knob is still on 3 or greater than 3, in order to meet the temperature requirement, the compressor frequently starts in the refrigerator storage room. Although the temperature of the freezer compartment is lower than minus 18 degrees, it causes electricity. The waste of the refrigerator shortens the service life of the refrigerator, so the correct adjustment of the refrigerator temperature control knob can make us not only keep fresh and save electricity.
How to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator correctly?
1, summer temperature adjustment
People are accustomed to thinking that in summer, the ambient temperature is high, and food is perishable, so the internal temperature of the refrigerator should be lowered. However, from the perspective of short-term food preservation and power saving, the temperature in the refrigerator should not be too low. The freezing temperature of a three-star refrigerator can be controlled at minus 18 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature of the refrigerator compartment is 5 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature that can be reached at design time. At this temperature, the preservation time of frozen food is about 3 months, and in actual use, the internal temperature of the refrigerator can be adjusted as needed. In summer, if we still adjust the internal temperature very low, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the box will increase, which is not only unfavorable to the normal use of the refrigerator, but also does not fundamentally improve the preservation of food, but increases the power consumption. It is better to increase the temperature in the refrigerator appropriately, for example, increase the temperature of the freezer to minus 15 degrees Celsius; adjust the average temperature of the refrigerator to about 7 degrees Celsius. At this time, the frozen food can still be kept fresh for 1.8 months. It can be seen that during the high temperature in summer, if the temperature of the refrigerator is appropriately increased, it will not affect the short-term preservation of food and save electricity, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
In addition, the working time and power consumption of refrigerators (freezers) are greatly affected by the ambient temperature during use. Therefore, we need to choose different gears in different seasons. When the ambient temperature is high in summer, it should be used in weak gear 2-3 gears.
Reason: In summer, the ambient temperature is high, and at this time, it is difficult for the temperature in the box to drop by 1 degree. The loss of cold through the insulation layer of the box and the door seal will also accelerate, so that the startup time is very long and the downtime is very long. very short. This will cause the press to run for a long time at high temperatures, aggravate the wear of the piston and the cylinder, the insulation performance of the motor coil enameled wire will also be reduced due to the high temperature, and the power consumption will rise sharply, which is uneconomical and unreasonable. If you change to the weak gear (2.3) at this time, you will find that the start-up time is significantly shorter and the shutdown time is longer. This saves power, reduces compressor wear, and extends service life. Therefore, when the temperature is high in summer, turn the thermostat to a weak position.
2, winter temperature adjustment
In winter, the general gear should be set to 4 or higher. The reason is that the product you buy has only one refrigerating room temperature controller to control the temperature of refrigeration and freezing, because the technical requirements for refrigeration temperature are controlled between 0 and 10 degrees. The cold storage environment in winter is relatively low, and cold storage can easily reach the set temperature. If the set temperature is too high, it is easy to cause the refrigerator to be turned on for a short time and the freezing and refrigeration effect cannot be achieved. If the ambient temperature is low in winter, it is mainly to ensure the freezing Refrigeration effect. Under normal circumstances, if the ambient temperature is lower than 16 degrees, adjust to gear 5, and lower than 10 degrees, you can adjust to gear 6 or 7. Sometimes because the ambient temperature is too low, such as 0 to 5 degrees, lower the gear and refrigerate the frozen things. At this time, the food can be stored outside the refrigerator.
The importance of refrigerator temperature adjustment: When the temperature difference between winter and summer is large, it is when the temperature of the refrigerator needs to be adjusted at home.
The weather changes in a year are divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter. The temperature also changes with the changes of the weather. The influence of the outside temperature will naturally affect the temperature inside the refrigerator. However, when the temperature difference between winter and summer is large, it is the most time to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator in the home, so as to save electricity and ensure the quality of food freezing.
How to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator to save electricity?
The optional buttons for temperature control of the refrigerator are basically 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The larger the number, the lower the temperature of the refrigerator’s refrigerator compartment. Under normal circumstances, in spring and autumn At that time, we only need to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator to between 3 hours, and adjust the temperature of the refrigerator to 1 or 2 in summer, so as to achieve better energy-saving effects.
Beware of wrong refrigerator temperature adjustment methods to prevent damage to the compressor!
Maybe someone may have such a wrong adjustment method. The temperature of the refrigerator is adjusted very low in winter, and the temperature of the refrigerator is adjusted very high in summer. It is believed that the temperature of the refrigerator compartment is also reduced with the decrease of the ambient temperature. Elevated and the refrigerator compartment is also elevated, so that it can achieve more power saving effect. This is actually a wrong approach. When our ambient temperature drops to a very low level, the compressor will stop working if the temperature of your refrigerator is still at about level 3. But at this time, the temperature of your refrigerator compartment is actually Did not reach the normal cooling temperature. In order to reach the normal refrigerating room temperature of 18 degrees, the refrigerator compressor will be frequently started and frequently shut down. At this time, not only can it not save electricity, but it will cause excessive consumption of electricity and more serious damage to the compressor.
Precautions for refrigerator temperature adjustment in summer and refrigerator temperature in winter:
Everyone must pay special attention to the two aspects of refrigerator temperature regulation in summer and refrigerator temperature regulation in winter. When the temperature is adjusted in summer, because the working time and power consumption of the refrigerator are greatly affected by the ambient temperature during use, we need to choose different gears in different seasons. When the ambient temperature is high in summer, the temperature should be adjusted between 1-2 gears. In winter, adjust the temperature above 4 levels, and at the same time adjust the temperature of the refrigerator by combining it with your own ambient temperature when adjusting the temperature of the refrigerator.
How to wire the refrigerator thermostat?
The electronic components of the temperature controller provide temperature data to the circuit under different working conditions at different temperatures, so that the circuit can collect temperature data.
Refrigerator thermostat H is the common pin, L is the heating wire pin, C is the compressor and heating wire pin, HL is the switch circuit, LC is the refrigeration circuit, L and C are connected reversely, which will cause non-stop failure. Some refrigerators A power-saving switch will be connected to L and the heating wire will be connected.
