2. fridge
• A refrigerator (colloquially fridge) is a common household
appliance that consists of a thermally insulated compartment
and a heat pump(mechanical, electronic, or chemical) that
transfers heat from the inside of the fridge to its external
environment so that the inside of the fridge is cooled to a
temperature below the ambient temperature of the room.
3. history
• Artificial refrigeration began in the mid-1750s, and developed in the early
1800s.
• In 1834, the first working vapor-compression refrigeration system was built.
• The first commercial ice-making machine was invented in 1854.
• In 1913, refrigerators for home use were invented.
• In 1923 Frigidaire introduced the first self-contained unit.
• The introduction of Freon in the 1920s expanded the refrigerator market
during the 1930s. Home freezers as separate compartments (larger than
necessary just for ice cubes) were introduced in 1940. Frozen foods,
previously a luxury item, became commonplace.
4. 1927
• The first ever fridge made by
General Electric was called a
‘Monitor-Top’.
• To purchase this in 1927, it
would have set you back around
$520.
• Fridges looked very similar to this
right up until the late 1940s.
5. 1950
• Fridges in the 1950s got a lot
fancier.
• They were aimed at the middle
classes or ‘slave-free households’.
• Marketed towards housewives,
they were supposed to be a point
of pride for the woman of the
house, and it was a popular look
for the fridge to match the walls
and cupboards of the kitchen.
6. 1960
• Fridges in the 1960s reflected the
look of the time.
• Futuristic, yet simple and with
soft curves in the design.
• By the 1960s most fridges also
included a freezer compartment
for mum to stock up on family
dinners.
• There was a subtle touch of The
Jetsons about fridges in this era.
7. 1970
•
The 1970s saw a rise in the
popularity of miniature and
novelty fridges.
• The design of the household
fridge also took a turn back
towards the more boxy look of
the 1940s. Compact was back.
8. 1980
• Fridges of the 1980s were sturdy,
utilitarian and built to last.
• Here’s appliance makers Fisher
and Paykel ushering in a new
decade of fridge fashion.
9. 1990
• The 1990s saw the
introduction of stainless
steel to our fridge facades.
• Sleek and modern,
• French-door style, with a
double door and a bottom
freezer.
• Fridges were glam and
contemporary, with the old
white clunkers gradually
falling out of favour through
the decade.
• With climate change and
electricity costs getting
more attention, the Energy
Star system became a
mainstay.
10. 2000
• The noughties saw the
arrival of the in-fridge
ice maker, water
dispenser and ‘handy
grab’ doors for quick
access to drinks storage.
• Fridges also starting
converging with other
technology, and in 2000
LG launched the first
internet enabled fridge.
Sadly, the net fridge
wasn’t a hit, with
consumers deciding that
it wasn’t everything
they needed after all.
