Part 5/9:
Curiously, the fridge’s evaporator, which typically cools the interior, operates differently. The appliance’s designer cleverly utilized a serpentine tube to disperse the refrigerant beneath the exterior casing, which allows for an innovative setup where the evaporator is embedded within the walls of the fridge. This allows the fridge to maintain two separate temperature zones in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Challenges Faced with Performance
Despite its admirable design, performance tests reveal areas where the fridge struggles. The compressor, while charming in its smallness, proves insufficient when cooling large quantities or maintaining consistent temperatures, leading to moments of uncertainty about food safety.
