REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18266768 titled 'REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a method to improve power consumption during a load operation in a storage compartment by terminating the operation based on specific conditions being met.

  • The load operation in a storage compartment is terminated when the compartment temperature satisfies a termination condition.
  • The termination condition can be met when a door is opened or when a temperature change in the compartment occurs.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in refrigerators, freezers, and other storage compartments where energy efficiency is important.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of excessive power consumption during load operations in storage compartments, leading to improved energy efficiency.

Benefits

The main benefit of this technology is the prevention of excessive power consumption, leading to improved energy efficiency and potentially cost savings for consumers.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include energy-efficient refrigerators, freezers, and other appliances with storage compartments.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing methods for controlling temperature in storage compartments, but specific termination conditions based on temperature changes or door openings may be a novel aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing energy-saving methods in storage compartments?

This article does not provide a direct comparison to existing energy-saving methods in storage compartments, leaving room for further research and analysis in this area.

What are the specific temperature thresholds or conditions that trigger the termination of the load operation?

The article does not specify the exact temperature thresholds or conditions that trigger the termination of the load operation, which could be important for understanding the practical implementation of this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to the present disclosure, after a load operation is performed by satisfying a start condition of the load operation, the load operation is terminated when a compartment temperature of a storage compartment satisfies a termination condition when a door is opened or when a temperature change in the storage compartment satisfies the termination condition. Accordingly, excessive power consumption during the load operation may be prevented, and thus power consumption may be improved.
