Integrated Fridge outdoor freezers

In your dream kitchen, integrated fridge freezers play a quiet role in keeping your food fresh. Expect spacious storage that looks like a cave with flexible shelves and handy features like wine racks.

Look out for holiday mode that will switch off your freezer but leave the fridge running and for Super-cool settings that quickly reduce the temperature to help keep food frozen.

Space Saving

Integrated fridge freezers tend to be smaller than freestanding ones, so they take up less room in your kitchen. Depending on the size you select, they can accommodate up to 350 litres of space which is enough to hold around 19 bags of food. They are also available in a variety of sizes, from'midi models to tall 178cm models. Some models come with water dispensers that connect to the mains supply so that you can have chilled water on demand.

Other features worth checking for include HarvestFresh salad drawers as well as NeoFrost technology, which keeps the freezer at a lower temperature, thereby helping to lower the cost of energy and reduce unpleasant smells. Also, a Holiday Mode is handy if you're going away for a short period of time and want to ensure that your frozen foods secure and safe. There are models that have a full glass lid that's easy to wipe clean and keeps the interior clean to a higher standard of hygiene.

Convenience

Integrated freezers are an excellent option for those who want to make use of less space in their kitchens. By combining a fridge and freezer into one unit, these appliances fit perfectly into kitchen cabinets, making it easier to maintain a smooth finish. A freezer integrated into the fridge is a great option for those looking to cut costs on energy costs, since they are more efficient than freestanding models.

Keep your freezer full to maximize efficiency. When you open your refrigerator the cold air escapes and warm air is pushed into the freezer. This uses a lot of electricity. Keep your freezer full to ensure the cold air is kept in and the warm air will be absorbent by the items. This will decrease the energy consumption. You can accomplish this by moving all your food items towards the sides and fronts of the freezer and stuffing the interior spaces with bags of newspaper or shipping peanuts (these are available at most supermarkets).

Another good way to cut down on your energy costs is to identify the items you use most frequently and placing them in the most accessible position. You won't need to move items around in your freezer, which can cause freezer burn.

Many of the latest fridges and Smart freezers come with a 'fast chill' and a 'fast freeze' feature which allow you to quickly get your new purchases to the optimum temperature. This is especially useful when you are unloading an enormous grocery delivery and you need to get your chilled or frozen goods at the proper temperature as quickly as you can.

The fridge freezer integrated can be installed in a fixed or a sliding one, depending on the way the appliance is installed to the cabinet. The major difference between these two models is that 'Sliding' integrated fridge freezers can be moved in the event that you decide to remodel your kitchen as they can be detached from the cabinet. Fixed fridge freezers are unable to be removed because they are built into the cabinet and the fridge door is fixed directly to the cabinet front.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficient integrated fridge freezers cool faster and use less electricity than older models. This is good for both the environment and your energy costs. Select from models with low-mid-height that are around 130cm high or extra-tall freezers that are 170-180cm high.

The green label has sparked an increase in sales for integrated freezers. Energy efficiency is a major aspect for appliances in the home as they consume a large amount of energy and are on all hours of the day. Refrigerators and freezers make up the majority of household electric bills. Therefore, switching to one that is more energy efficient will save money on your energy bill.

The highest energy ratings are A+++ and A. Companies are legally required to display their energy rating on their websites so that customers can compare ratings when shopping. However, smart Freezers we discovered that there were few companies with alternatives that were rated higher than A on their sites.

Spiral freezers that are not fully integrated with refrigeration and process control systems can result in significant energy waste in a production facility. The spiral freezer parameters are not updated when product changes occur. This leads to warm products that are unable to pass quality tests. This is typically due to temporary changes to setpoints that are made in response to production issues, which are later forgotten, leading to the loss of goods and energy waste. Integrating the spiral controls into the refrigeration systems and process systems allows the system to automatically update parameters based on the product being produced. This reduces energy consumption and reduces the amount of waste. VaCom Technologies can help plants achieve this by working with them to set the parameters for each range of products and then connecting the spiral freezer controls with the plant control systems.
