what are direct cool refrigerators

Image
  "Direct cool refrigerators are a type of refrigerator that uses less energy and space than an indirect-cooled unit." Many manufacturers have begun producing direct cool refrigerators, but this type of refrigerator has not yet become the standard. Direct cool refrigerators are 10 to 15 percent more expensive than similar models. However, they would be a low-cost option for schools or universities with students hoarding food and consuming large quantities of cold drinks all day long. The direct-cool unit doesn't require fans and therefore uses less electricity and is better for the environment. Additionally, direct cool units use less material and produce fewer greenhouse gasses than their indirect counterparts while saving on energy bills in the process.

in domestic refrigerators what is the type of condenser used

  A refrigerator uses a sealed container of liquid refrigerant to absorb heat, which it then transfers to the evaporator in the condenser.    Image source: https://pinterest.com/ The cooled refrigerant is then compressed and liquefied, and passes through a metering device in order to remove some of the heat.     Image source: https://www.flipkart.com/ The vapors are sent back into the sealed container where they are mixed with more liquid refrigerant and put back into service (or pumped out for service elsewhere).    Image source: https://www.smartprix.com/ The use of natural gas as a supplementary heating source evolved because electric resistance coils do not work well on larger machines.     Image source: https://www.amazon.com/ A generator is also used if electricity fails. In both cases natural gas provides backup power for maintaining temperatures inside the unit within an acceptable range during power loss, or interrupt...
