The power consumption of the refrigerator is divided into rated power consumption and actual power consumption. The power consumption on the refrigerator name plate is the rated power consumption, which is the power consumption when the refrigerator is in stable operation at 25 ℃ for 24 hours. Only when the refrigerator is reasonably used can the actual power consumption be effectively reduced. The following several energy-saving methods are introduced:
1. Refrigerators should be placed in places with low ambient temperature and good ventilation conditions, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Appropriate space should be reserved at the top, left and right sides and back of the refrigerator to facilitate heat dissipation.
2. When taking and storing food, it is necessary to reduce the opening times and opening time as far as possible, because as long as the refrigerator is opened easily, the compressor will have to run for dozens of minutes to recover the refrigeration temperature.
3. It is strictly forbidden to put hot food into the refrigerator, because the hot food contains high heat. After being put into the refrigerator, the temperature in the box will rise sharply, and the frost thickness on the surface of evaporator will be increased. The compressor will work for a long time and the power consumption will increase.
4. The food stored in the refrigerator should be appropriate, and it should not be too full or too tight, which will affect the convection of air in the box, the heat dissipation of food is difficult, and the preservation effect of food is affected. At the same time, the working time of compressor is increased to increase the power consumption.
5. Vegetables, fruits and other food with more moisture should be washed and drained, wrapped in plastic bags and put into the refrigerator to reduce water evaporation and thicken frost layer, shorten defrosting time and save electric energy.
6. Making ice and cold drinks should be arranged at night as far as possible, because the temperature is low at night, which is conducive to heat dissipation of the condenser. At the same time, the operation time of the compressor is short because the door is not opened to take and put food at night.
7. Defrost and remove ash on condenser and box surface regularly to ensure good heat absorption and heat dissipation performance of evaporator and condenser, shorten working time of compressor and save electric energy.
8. On the premise of ensuring the quality of food, the temperature controller should be adjusted reasonably according to the seasonal change, the type and quantity of food, so that the refrigerator is always in the best working state.
9. In case of power failure, please reduce the times of opening doors, and try not to put food in it as much as possible, so as to reduce the loss of cooling capacity.
10. Whenever the ambient temperature is higher than 10 ℃ (some are 16 ℃), the winter compensation (power saving switch) must be turned off to prevent the increase of startup time and the number of startup and shutdown, resulting in unnecessary consumption.
