REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18379045 titled 'REFRIGERATOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a refrigerator with a cold air supply duct that splits into two independent flow paths to supply cold air to two separate storage compartments.
- The refrigerator has a cold air supply duct that branches into two separate paths.
- Each path supplies cold air to a different partitioned storage compartment.
- The design allows for independent temperature control of each storage compartment.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in household refrigerators, commercial refrigeration units, and medical storage units where precise temperature control is necessary.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of maintaining different temperatures in separate compartments within a refrigerator without affecting each other.
Benefits
- Allows for customization of temperature settings for different types of food or items. - Prevents odors from mixing between compartments. - Increases energy efficiency by only cooling the compartments that need it.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Cold Air Supply in Refrigerators for Dual Compartment Storage" could be used in commercial refrigeration units for restaurants, grocery stores, and medical facilities.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be refrigerators with dual evaporators that provide separate cooling systems for each compartment, but this innovation focuses on the specific design of the cold air supply duct branching into two independent paths.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact energy consumption compared to traditional refrigerators?
The article does not provide information on the energy efficiency of this technology compared to standard refrigerators.
Are there any limitations to the size or capacity of the storage compartments in this design?
The article does not address whether there are any restrictions on the size or capacity of the storage compartments that can be effectively cooled using this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
A refrigerator includes a cold air supply duct that branches to two independent cold air supply flow paths such that the cold air supply duct supplies cold air for two independent partitioned storages.
