Rating of the best refrigerators with the NO FROST system for 2024

The time has passed when food products obtained with difficulty were stored in cellars and basements. Cucumbers, for example, were placed in an earthen pot, sprinkled with sand, after which the pot had to be buried in the ground. Civilization has simplified life, and high technologies have reached an extraordinary level - from pot-bellied ZILs to ultra-fashionable LGs with a bar and control from a smartphone.

Scientists, inventors have done a great job, the functions of modern refrigeration units amaze the imagination of ordinary people, refrigerators with the No Frost system are especially interesting.

No Frost system - no frost

Freezing and refrigerating chambers are cooled not by drip, but using the latest technology. The essence lies in the system of forced circulation of cold air flows, which excludes the formation of zones of sharp temperature changes and blocks the growth of ice on the walls.

The Know Frost effect guarantees the protection of products from freezing.

How it works

1. An evaporator is located between the rear wall and the body or under the refrigerator compartment.
2. Fans are used to blow through the evaporator and force air into the chambers through the ducts. The result is constantly circulating cold air.
3. No moisture settling on the walls, frost settles on the evaporator, the coldest zone.
4. When the compressor is switched off permanently, the air heats up, which removes the frost.
5. Drops of moisture resulting from evaporation flow down the troughs into the accumulator, where they evaporate.

• rapid recovery of temperature conditions after opening and closing the refrigerator;
• due to the function of instant freezing and cooling, the temperature processing of products occurs in a record short time;
• a slowed down cycle of bacteria reproduction due to low humidity inside the chamber;
• no need for manual defrosting.

• the need to store products in sealed containers, as they dry quickly.

Criteria for choosing a refrigerator No Frost

The variety of refrigerators can be conditionally divided not only by technical characteristics, dimensions, but also by the usable place of the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Camera types

1. height 80-160 cm, 50 cm wide, 60 cm deep, usable volume no more than 60 liters;
2. mini-bar 80 cm high, volume 60 liters, mainly used for storing fruit and cooling drinks;
3. European standard - height 173-205 cm, with a volume of 50-140 liters for small kitchens;
4. parameters - height 170 cm, volume 200 liters, dash 260 correspond to medium-sized refrigerators;
5. refrigerators 750-850 liters of useful volume for spacious kitchens are considered large.

cooling chamber

Depending on the mode of operation of the refrigerator, the chamber volume should be selected.

The design of the chamber is divided into the following types:

• short-term storage of products within 4 days;
• long-term storage is possible with preliminary freezing of food;
• freezing and cooling is possible for all types of products;
• shock freezing occurs within 60-90 minutes.

How to choose the right refrigerator No Frost

First of all, you should decide on the volume of the separate refrigerating chamber. If the family freezes more meat, vegetables, poultry for long periods, then the largest possible volume of the freezer should be chosen.

In the case of using fresh, dairy products that do not require long-term storage in frozen form, then you can opt for a unit with a superior refrigerating chamber volume.

Next, you should decide on the energy consumption that is acceptable for the seed budget, and the ability to maintain a given temperature in offline mode.

Power and Noise are the next options for selection.

The climatic compliance class is divided according to the following characteristics:

• N - dry rooms;
• SN for temperatures 10-32 °, suitable for use in the basement, in the country;
• ST for temperatures 12-38 ° - hot, tropical climate;
• T - dry areas with temperatures of 28-43 °.

The potential of the unit for cooling products to a given temperature and keeping them unchanged.

• 1 degree - 6 ° and the maintenance period is a week;
• 2nd degree - 12 ° with a period of 30 days;
• 3 degree - 18 ° and a period of 90 days;
• 4 degree - 18 ° with a period from 180 to 360 days.

In conclusion, one or another brand with the corresponding characteristics is considered.

If there are several options, then select additional functions, such as:

• door opening indicators;
• temperature sensors;
• display;
• shock freezing;
• shock cooling;
• freshness zone;
• ice generator;
• radio.

If the cost is within the power of the buyer, you can take it.

Warranty periods for different units vary - this can be an important criterion.
