 Cooling cycle, Part and accessories

● Cooling Cycle basic principle
- Using 『 The nature of the refrigerant that takes away the heat around the liquid when it turns into gas 』 ,
Cooling the air in the refrigerator by continuously evaporating the refrigerant using the refrigeration cycle
- The Cooling system is consists of 『 Cooling Cycle (Compressor→Condenser→Capillary →cooler), Duct 』

 Core technology
● Big Capacity – How it works

 High Efficiency Foaming Technology(urethane foam)

 To get better insulation performance, Smaller but evenly spread foam cell is needed
→ by chemical reaction, urethane makes foam cells; Smaller, better performance efficiency

Factor Minimizing Urethane Foam Cell Optimizing Foaming condition

Smaller cell, More evenly spread Urethane foam,

Character
Less heat loss through insulation Less heat loss through insulation

Uneven spreading Even spreading
