Default How do fridge freezers ever work?

[fullll snipppppppppp]

c'mon everyone, as we used to say (back when Usenet was
still a thing) over in alt.folklore.urban,
"twiavbp" - The world is a very big place

In other words, there ain't just one design
for this, that, or the other thing. In this
case, there are plenty of arrangements for
refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, freezers,
and the like.

You takes your choice of efficiency, price,
reliablity, and the rest.

For example, we used to have a refrigerator/freezer
with a single door, and the freezer was on the
inside near the top, with a second door covering it.

The cooling coils surrounded that section, and the
chilling "fell" down, so to speak, into the
refrigerator section. The thermostat was located
in a small box sticking out into the refrigerated
portion.

There was also a small drawer just below the freezer
for placing misc items that you wanted to be kind
of at, just below, or just above,freezing temp.

Now... there was _also_ a flap at the back of the
drawer which, when folded forward, left a gap
of (numbers for illustration) six inches for the
cold to drop down, and when extended, cut that
gap down to an inch.

The instructions explained that if you left the
thermostat (which, again, is in the refrigerator)
set the same way, then the freezer would be colder
with the flap extended and a bit warmer (but still
below freezing) with it folded over.

Ditto for that drawer

Yeah, that really is the case... think about it.

It was a simple, crude, cheap, and idiot proof
production method.

But doesn’t work when you want something like half
fridge and half freezer and doesn’t do frost free either.

That's the problem, price. People don't seem to want to add 10% to the price to make things twice as good.

They clearly do with cars. I have been considering upgrading
the car to get a decent cruise control and a fancy system of
cameras in all 4 corners of the car and the door mirrors to
make it more convenient to park the car in tight spots.

The Honda Civic even does full cruise control in
traffic jam situations with stop start driving with
the car completely automatically stop start cruising.

The Merc even parks by itself, with the driver just sitting in the car.

Yes, that would be VERY useful features for an 85-year-old decrepit senile

It's more obvious that some are made better, but when the average moron buys a fridge freezer, they only look at things like capacity, electricity usage, etc.

I saw it mentioned here or in a forum recently that someone bought one from Argos, and they would not accept a return when it failed to run in the garage. The buyer had no idea it wouldn't, as he hadn't read the entire manual - funnily enough most people don't do that BEFORE buying the goods. Can you imagine a car that refused to start at lower temperatures?

I have been considering upgrading

Upgrading your car or replacing it with a better model?

The Honda Civic even does full cruise control in
traffic jam situations with stop start driving with

So getting towards autonomous then.

Not just made better, but do a lot more, for those
who are prepared to pay more for that sort of car.

but when the average moron buys a fridge freezer, they only look at things
like capacity, electricity usage, etc.


The average is irrelevant to those who buy more carefully.

I saw it mentioned here or in a forum recently that someone bought one
from Argos, and they would not accept a return when it failed to run in
the garage. The buyer had no idea it wouldn't, as he hadn't read the
entire manual - funnily enough most people don't do that BEFORE buying the
goods.


Just like most don't bother to read the manual
with obvious stuff like fridges and freezers.

Can you imagine a car that refused to start at lower temperatures?


Some do with the lowest temps like Canada gets.

I have been considering upgrading the car to get a decent cruise control
and a fancy system of cameras in all 4 corners of the car and the door
mirrors to
make it more convenient to park the car in tight spots.


Upgrading your car or replacing it with a better model?


Replacing it with a new one. It isnt that easy to get the
best result with either automatic cameras that show you
the view of the camera that is closest the adjacent car
and the corresponding side of your own car auto.

Same with that very fancy cruise control that not only
works fine in crawling stop start traffic, but which also
reads the speed limit signs so it always goes at the
speed you specify over the speed limit or at it.

The Honda Civic even does full cruise control in
traffic jam situations with stop start driving with
the car completely automatically stop start cruising.


The Merc even parks by itself, with the driver just sitting in the car.


So getting towards autonomous then.


Yeah, that's what the spruik with that one and the volvo.
But autonomous parking is a lot easier than autonomous
driving everywhere and legal whereas fully autonomous
driving isnt anywhere yet.
