REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18596107 titled 'REFRIGERATOR
The abstract describes a refrigerator with a first tray and a second tray that form ice-making cells, along with a temperature sensor that comes into contact with the trays to sense the temperature of the water or ice in the cells.
- The refrigerator has a first tray that is part of the ice-making cells where water turns into ice due to cold air.
- A second tray forms the other part of the ice-making cells in the refrigerator.
- A temperature sensor is included to monitor the temperature of the water or ice in the ice-making cells.
- The temperature sensor comes into contact with the first tray and/or the second tray to accurately sense the temperature.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in household refrigerators to ensure efficient ice-making processes. - It can also be applied in commercial refrigeration units to monitor ice production.
Problems Solved: - Ensures precise temperature monitoring in the ice-making cells. - Improves the overall ice-making process in refrigerators.
Benefits: - Enhanced ice-making efficiency. - Prevents ice from melting prematurely. - Ensures consistent ice production.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Temperature Monitoring System for Refrigerators" This technology can be utilized in various commercial refrigeration units to optimize ice-making processes, leading to improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the temperature sensor improve the ice-making process in refrigerators? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of implementing this technology in commercial refrigeration units?
Original Abstract Submitted
The refrigerator includes: a first tray forming a part of ice-making cells which are where water changes phase into ice due to cold air; a second tray forming the other part of the ice-making cells; and a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the water or ice in the ice-making cells, wherein the temperature sensor comes into contact with the first tray and/or the second tray.
