marine Refrigeration

How does marine refrigeration work? The major parts of a Dc refrigeration system include the refrigerant, a compressor, and a condenser, a cooling system for condenser, and a plate or plates inside the refrigeration box. 

The compressor is part of a accomplished loop pumping refrigerant through the system and through the evaporator plate in the ice box. The compressor has two sides the High side or dismissal side. The dismissal side pumps refrigerant under pressure to the condenser. The suction side or low side and sucks refrigerant after it passes thru the evaporator plate back to the compressor. The cold plates in the fridge space have either expansion valves or capillary tube that detach the low and high pressure sides of the refrigeration system.

The refrigerant in the compressor starts as a gas. The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas, from low pressure to high pressure in the middle of 100-150 psi. When the pressure is increased like this its climatic characteristic is raised dramatically. This hot high pressure refrigerant is then fed to a condenser, where it is cooled and turned into a liquid. The condenser is cooled by either air or water. The refrigerant is now a cool high pressure liquid and is fed to an evaporator plate inside the boats refrigerator box.

The evaporator plate takes the refrigerant from the condenser and here it boils rapidly & evaporates back to a gas, at a very low temperature. This turn of state absorbs vast amounts of sensible heat from the evaporator which in turn removes heat from the insulated refrigeration box, thereby lowering its temperature. The Btu is the determination of heat removed. From the evaporator plate the refrigerant is returned to the low side of the compressor, to start the process again.

Evaporator or retention Plates

Marine refrigeration systems use either an evaporator plate or a retention plate in the boats refrigeration space or freezer space. Each type of plate works differently in drawing heat from the boats refrigerator and ice box space.

Marine Evaporator

Marine Evaporators are just like the ones found in household refrigerators. They can get quite cold (thermostat setting) and many evaporators have the capability to make ice next to the evaporator plate or inside the evaporator box. Evaporators come in several shapes and sizes; they can be horizontal plate's vertical plates and rolled plates. Evaporators are constant cycling, or short cycle. Most use a Danfoss marine compressor with H134 refrigerant.

Thermostat controlled evaporator temperature. Turn to lower ice box temperature. Evaporator plates are less expensive, but need Constant power supply.

Marine retention plates

Marine Refrigerator retention Plates act like large blocks of ice and the cold climatic characteristic of the retention plate sucks heat out of the boats refrigeration box. retention plates can keep ice boxes cold for long periods.

The main benefit of a retention plate over an evaporator is that they only need to be recharged 1 or 2 times per day. This charging can coincide with attaching to shore power, running the engine and so the refrigerator does not rely on the battery bank. When incorporated into a properly designed system, holdover plates can significantly sacrifice mean energy consumption. However Dc retention plates are also possible.  The retention plate is filled with a solution that has a freezing point below 23 degrees F.  As the compressor runs, the refrigerant passes through the retention Plates coil, freezing the retention plate solution. The compressor turns of and as the retention plate thaws out, heat is removed from the box.

Powering the Compressor

The power provide to the compressor is one of the key elements of the boats refrigeration system. Refrigeration is one of the largest energy consumers onboard, so the power provide is an leading element of the system. Power supplies to marine refrigeration systems include Ac, Dc, Shore Power, engine power, and hybrid systems. Hybrids are combinations of say 12 volt and engine drive, or engine and shore power. The whole point in finding at power provide to your boats refrigerator is to concentrate it into onboard power requirements for all your boats marine systems. If you run a generator much of the time then adding on an Ac refrigeration unit may make sense, but unless you do, you would be best at finding at 12 V, engine or shore power.

Power can be decided on how you use your boat. Are you tied up at a dock for much of the time and take days trips. Or do you cruise and spend large amounts of time at anchor. Finally are you Powerboating or sailing will also influence power supply. sailing means no charging of batteries or power from the engine. Here a solar panel or wind or towed generator can help replenish batteries. If you spend time at the dock, a Dc system has fullness of time to recharge on shore power. If you spend time motoring and at the dock and engine drive with shore assist works well.

Ac 110 volt marine refrigeration     

These drop in refrigerators are like the one in your home and are ordinarily seen on larges boats with an fullness of Ac power and space. The Ac powers the marine compressor, and the condenser is typically air cooled. A dependable Ac provide is needed in the form of a generator.

Dc marine refrigeration with Evaporator plate

 One of the cheapest marine refrigeration system and easiest to setup is the 12 v or Dc system. Air cooling is the simplest. The Dc system combined with an evaporator plate that is thermostatically controlled gives flexibility over cooling requirements. Many 12 volt systems use the Danfoss compressor. With the increased efficiency of the Danfoss compressor, Dc refrigeration onboard is getting more efficient, but is still power hungry.

For most boats with a small box, a singular 12V compressor, air cooled condenser, with evaporator type plate will be about the cheapest option. The Adler Barbour Cold engine has been around for around 25 years and provides great refrigeration for small to medium size ice boxes. 

Shore powered marine refrigeration

Shore powered systems are made to vocalize the boat's ice box at set climatic characteristic when the boat is at the dock. They offer less power than direct from an engine drive but since you will be at the dock for a while that is not an issue.

If you use a retention plate and shore powered system you can keep the plate cool while away from the dock for 12 hours or so.

 Engine powered marine refrigeration

The idea behind an engine driven compressor system is that the engine gets used anyway for at lest an hour or so. If you are Powerboating this makes sense, if you are sailing calculate how much time you use the engine.

If this is the case an engine drive with a retention plate can draw down the ice box in a short duration and after that it can be left for 12 plus hours.

The compressor is run directly off the engine. Belt driven or direct compressor, There are two plates and you can add more, plus ad a detach freezer unit. This creates much power and fast cooling of the retention plate. More power than a 110 volt system. Larger systems and multiple plates are possible. engine driven systems cost more and also involve a labor higher cost    

Condenser Cooling

The marine refrigeration systems condenser needs cooling. This is how the refrigerant gets cooled and turned into a liquid. There are 3 ways to cool the condenser;

Air Cooled

Air cooling simplifies facility plus it does not rely on water or adding thru hulls. It is therefore the cheapest installation. For smaller units air cooling is Ok, say 4 cu ft or under 6 cu ft you will get sufficient performance. The air cooling unit needs a sufficient provide of re-circulated air for it to work. Ducting and space around the unit will help this.

When you cool by air flow you remove heat from the condenser and ad it to the ambient temperature. The climatic characteristic inside of the cabin only has sufficient capacity to disperse this heat.

Water cooled Condenser

Water cooled compressors will work best in higher ambient temperatures and are more effective and can be 30% more efficient. Water cooling may be best and is best for larger installs especially if freezer is concerned. Water cooling needs a thru hull and a pump to get the water to the condenser. The most effective way to cool the condenser

Keel cooler Condenser

The keel cooler or keel condenser requires no thru hull fitting and will not be field to clogging. The keel cooler is a 3" x 7" bronze plate that mounts on the surface of the hull and it is the condenser heat exchanger. The bronze plates are linked direct to the compressor which is the only tantalizing part in the system. The Keel Cooler is for a box up to a 15 cu ft refrigerator or 5 cu ft freezer. Since all the heat is passed into the water surface the boat it will does not heat up the interior. Since it works without a water pump there is never a pump or strainer to vocalize and best of all it is nearly silent in operation.

Refrigeration Compressor & plate Combination

Before we pick a size of marine refrigerator we need to understand what factors are complicated in retention the refrigeration box cool. They are mainly box size, insulation and cooling water temperature, number of population aboard and the climatic characteristic you are setting the plates for.

Refrigerator Box Volume

This is obvious, the larger the box the more heat dismissal is necessary. A larger box will need more Btus of heat removal. After this basic size issue we have things like, Front opening or top opening. Front opening lets cold air out swiftly but does allow you to get to the bottom of the box. Drains, if you had a drain for you ice box plug it. You will not need to drain water out of the ice box and this will only let cold air out and heat in. Gaskets, these are a must and must be properly sealed. A trick to recognize if there are gaps in the gasket is to put a piece of paper in in the middle of the lid or door and the cabinet and close it. Pull on the paper and you should feel some drag if the gaskets are sealing properly. It comes out actually there is a gap. Get new or best gasket material.

Insulation  

Typical insulation to a fridge or freezer is foam insulation like Dow Blue board. The suggestion is for 3-4 inches for refrigeration and 4-6 inches for freezer for medium sized boxes. Foam has an R value of 5 per inch thickness, R being a thermal unit. This means in terms of thermal units 3-4 inches represents 15-20R value for the refrigeration unit, and 20-30 for the freezer.

There are manufacturers of vacuum panel thermal insulation. The Glacier bay fence Ultra-R super-insulation at R-50 per inch provides lots of insulation without taking up critical volume. These panels are vacuum panels and are sealed to work. It is very leading that you do not drill through or puncture these panels. These panels are practice made, so you would need to provide the manufacturer, exact sizes with locations for copper plate tubes to enter the box. These are built into the panels.

Water temperature

In the tropics water climatic characteristic is a lot warmer then northern climates. For every degree water climatic characteristic increases a corresponding 2 % increase in required Btu. If you are in the Atlantic portions of the east coast Us, you have some cool sea water temps, but of you then cruise down to the Caribbean you may strain your refrigeration system.

Plate Thermostat

The evaporator plate climatic characteristic is set by the thermostat. Dial the box climatic characteristic down and the system will have to work harder.

Number of population aboard

More population means the box gets opened more and the heat build up from more population adds to the ambient temperature.

How big a Refrigeration system is required?

To calculate how big a refrigeration or marine freezing unit required, you will need to start with an assessment of the Btu requirements of the box. A simple rule of thumb for estimating the Btus is based on the box volume.

These Btu estimations are based on these assumptions;

- Insulation has an R value of 30 no leaks.
- Water temperatures are tropical in the mid 80s F.
- 2 population aboard, for each extra man add an additional 1,000 daily Btu
- Top opening box, for a front opening door add 15 Btu/inch of door

Btu assessment on refrigeration volume;

Refrigerator daily heat load; 600 Btu per cu. Ft.

Freezer daily heat load; 1200 Btu per cu. Ft

Lets look at how this works for the 4 cu ft refrigeration system, using the above formula

4 cu. Ft. Times 600  =   2,400 Btu.

Two additional population on board =   2,000 Btu.

Total required per day   = 4,400 Btu

Choosing 12 volt unit with Evaporator

Match this number to the compressor capabilities, and then calculate amps needed to power the system, and then work on the battery bank capability. Start by using the 4,400 Btu form the above example. The Adler Barbour Cold engine uses the Danfoss Bd50 Compressor is rated at 650Btu / hr based on 25F evaporator temp.

This is well above the 4,400/day we need for the 4 cu ft fridge, using only about 1/3 of the power. We could actually go down the Danfoss Db35.

Amps

To calculate how many amps the system will draw we start by converting Btus to amps with this formula, using an assumption of 5 Btus per watt hr of energy used. Btu/5/volts. So say we have 4400 Btus and 12 volts, 4,400/5/12=74 amp hours/day.

Battery Bank

The Amps needed to power the compressor should be 1/4 of the capacity of the house bank. So for the above 74 amp hours needed multiply by 4 to get recommended house battery capacity = 296 amp hrs

Conclusion

These days being on the water means retention food and drinks cold. 12 volt refrigeration units are becoming more beloved with technological advances. Greater compressor efficiency and evaporator technology brings 12 volt cooling to the smallest of boats.

Refrigeration Maintenance, Walk-In Coolers and Freezers

Most refrigerators and walk-ins seem virtually indestructible and problem free, but you'll get longer life out of yours by following these protection and maintenance tips. Clean the door gaskets and hinges regularly. The door gaskets, made of rubber, can rot more of course if they are caked with food or grime, which weakens their sealing properties. They can be safely cleaned with a clarification of baking soda and warm water. Hinges can be rubbed with a bit of petroleum jelly to keep them working well. Dirty coils force the refrigerator to run hotter, which shortens the life of the compressor motor. They should be cleaned every 90 days, preferably with an industrial-strength vacuum cleaner.

Walk-in floors can be damp-mopped but should never be hosed out. Too much water can get into the seals between the floor panels and damage the insulation. A refrigerator only works as well as the air that's allowed to circulate nearby its contents. Cramming food containers together so there's not a spare inch of space nearby them doesn't help. Also try to keep containers (especially cardboard ones) from touching the walls of the cabinet. They may frost and stick to the walls, damaging both stock and wall. Use a good rotation system: First in, first out (Fifo) is preferable. Or put colored dots on food packages, a different color for each day of the week, so everyone in your kitchen knows how long each item has been in the fridge.

Door Gasket Refrigerator

Walk-In Coolers And Freezers

A walk-in cooler is just what its name implies: a cooler big adequate to walk into. It can be as small as a closet or as large as a good-size room, but its traditional purpose is to contribute refrigerated storage for large quantities of food in a central area. Experts propose that your performance needs a walk-in when its refrigeration needs exceed 80 cubic feet, or if you serve more than 250 meals per day. Once again, you'll need to decide how much you need to store, what sizes of containers the storage space must accommodate, and the maximum quantity of goods you'll want to have on hand. The only way to use walk-in space wisely is to equip it with shelves, organized in sections. Exactly how much quadrate footage do you need? The easiest recipe is to think 1 to 1.5 cubic feet of walk-in storage for every meal you serve per day. Another basic calculation: Take the total estimate of linear feet of shelving you've decided you will need (A), and divide it by the estimate of shelves (B) you can put in each section.

This will give you the estimate of linear feet per section (C). To this estimate (C), add 40 to 50 percent (1.40 or 1.50) to cover "overflow"-volume increases, wasted space, and bulky items or loose product. This will give you an assessment of the total linear footage (D) needed. However, linear footage is not enough. Because shelves are three dimensional, you must think quadrate footage. So multiply (D) by the depth of each shelf (E) to regain the total quadrate footage estimate (F). Finally, duplicate the (F) figure, to compensate for aisle space. Approximately half of walk-in cooler space is aisle space. Another favorite recipe is to think that, for every 28 to 30 pounds of food you'll store, you will need 1 cubic foot of space. When you get that figure, multiply it by 2.5. (The factor 2.5 means only 40 percent of your walk-in will be used as storage space; the other 60 percent is aisles and space between products.)

The consequent is the size of the refrigerated storage area you will need. For a walk-in freezer, naturally divide your walk-in refrigerator space by two. Larger kitchens, which serve more than 400 meals a day, may need as many as three walk-in refrigerators for different climatic characteristic needs: one for produce (41 degrees Fahrenheit), one for meats and fish (33 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit), and one for dairy products (32 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit). The walk-in is used most often to store bulk foods. Because this often means wheeling carts or dollies in and out, the floor should be level with the kitchen floor.

This leveling is achieved by the use of strips (called screeds) that are applied to the floor. Coolers don't come as a singular unit; they are constructed on-site. The walls, ceilings, and floors are made of individual panels. Wall panels should be insulated to a rating of R-30, which means a 4-inch thickness. They come in various lengths and widths, with 12-by-12-inch angle panels at 90-degree angles. They can be as short as 71?2 feet or as tall as 131?2 feet. The most base type of insulation inside the panels is polyurethane, and the face walls of the panels can be made of stainless steel, vinyl, or aluminum. Stainless steel is the most expensive, and aluminum-because it's the least expensive-is the most favorite choice. If the walk-in is an outdoor installation, aluminum is the most weather resistant.

The installer will be sure the unit has interior lighting. The floor panels for walk-ins are similar to the wall panels. Load capacities of 600 pounds per quadrate foot are the norm, but if you plan to store very heavy items (like beer kegs), a reinforced floor can be purchased with a load capacity of up to 1000 pounds per quadrate foot. The refrigeration principles of a walk-in is a more complex factory than a approved refrigerator, primarily because it's so much bigger. Matching the principles (and its power requirements) with the dimensions of the walk-in and its projected use is best left to professionals, but it's prominent to note that a walk-in accessed often throughout the day will require a compressor with greater horsepower to avow its interior climatic characteristic than one that is accessed seldom.

A 9-foot-square walk-in would need at least a 2-horsepower compressor. The condenser unit is placed either on top of the walk-in (directly above the evaporator) or up to 25 feet away, with lines connecting it to the walk-in. The latter, for sure reasons, is known as a remote system, and is essential for larger-than-normal condensing units with capacities of up to 7.5 horsepower. In a remote system, the refrigerant must be added at the time of installation. For smaller walk-ins, there's also a plumbing configuration called a quick-couple system, which is shipped from the factory fully charged with refrigerant. This absolutely simplifies installation. However, you may need the added power of a remote principles if your kitchen has any of these drains on the walk-in's cooling ability: frequent door opening, glass display doors, many doors per compartment, or an ambient kitchen climatic characteristic that's near 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Modern walk-ins sometimes offer a frozen-food section in increasing to the quarterly cooler space. There are pros and cons to this concept. It may ease the load on the freezer, because it's already placed inside a chilled airspace; but it also can't help but sacrifice allinclusive usable space, because it requires a detach door. You can also order your walk-in with a separate, reach-in section that has its own door and shelves. Although this may save the cost of purchasing a detach reach-in, some critics claim that a walk-in is not designed to do a reach-in job, such as storing uncovered desserts. Do you of course want them in the same environment as cartons of lettuce and other bulk storage items? There may be cleanliness or food quality factors to consider.

The doors should open out, not into the cooler itself. The approved door opening is 34 by 78 inches. Any door features are prominent for allowable walk-in operation. These include: A heavy-duty door closer. Self-closing, cam-lift door hinges. If the door can be opened past a 90-degree angle, the cam will hold it open. A heavy-duty stainless steel threshold. This is installed over the galvanized channel of the door frame. A pull-type door handle, with both a cylinder door lock and room to use a detach padlock if necessary. Pressure-sensitive vents, which preclude vacuum buildup when opening and conclusion the door. An interior protection release so no one can be (accidentally or otherwise) locked inside the cooler.

Other smart features that can be ordered for walk-ins are: A thermometer (designed for outdoor use, but mounted inside the cooler) with a range of 40 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. A monitoring and recording principles that keeps a printout of refrigeration climatic characteristic or downloads to a computer. Glass, full-length door panels (like those in supermarkets and convenience stores), sometimes called merchandising doors, either hinged or sliding. Heavy-duty plastic strip curtains inside the door. (One maker claims a 40 percent vigor savings with this feature.)

A foot treadle, which enables you to open the door by pressing on a pedal or lever with your foot when both hands are full. Three-way interior lighting, which can be turned on from face or inside the cooler, with a light-on indicator light outside. Inside, the light itself should be a vapor-proof bulb with an unbreakable globe and shield. When space is at a premium, think about either it is practical to setup an outdoor walk-in unit. This is an prudent way to add space without increasing the size of your kitchen, and you can buy ready-to-use, stand-alone structures with electricity and refrigeration systems in place. They come in approved sizes from 8 to 12 feet wide and up to 50 feet in length, in 1-foot increments.

They range in height from 7.5 to 9.5 feet. Look for a unit with a slanted, weatherproof roof, a weather hood, and a fully insulated floor. Outdoor walk-ins cost about half of the price of installing an indoor kitchen walk-in, so this is a money-saving idea if it works in your location. If your demands for walk-in space are seasonal, consider leasing a refrigerated trailer, available in most metropolitan areas on a weekly or monthly basis. They can contribute an instant 2000 cubic feet of further storage space, which can be kept at any climatic characteristic from 40 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. They use basic 60-amp, 230-volt, three-phase electricity. Ask if the lease bargain includes hookup at your site and aid if anyone goes wrong.

The Perks of Using a lowest Freezer Refrigerator

Bottom freezer refrigerator units have been in use for years. These models are not as base as other refrigerators, mostly due to the popularity of top-mounted and side-door freezer models.

People stick by bottom-freezer models because of the ease of organizing the refrigerator. The most commonly used part of the unit, the main refrigeration cabinet, is located on top. This means that all the requisite items can be found at eye level. When person opens the top door, they can well place all of their food in clear view. The fact that heavier frosty items are stored at the lowest provides an added level of convenience for most people, since there is itsybitsy danger of accidentally dropping that frosty food.

Door Gasket Refrigerator

Refrigerators with the freezer at the lowest are also beloved by buyers because the less-opened freezer compartment is at the lower half of the fridge. Since freezers are best left unopened to keep cooling efficient, having the compartment at the lowest part means it is left undisturbed longer, and so cools more efficiently. These same models also have a tendency of having more freezer space than top freezer refrigerator models do, and this lets population store more frosty goods.

While some population may opt for side-by-side freezer refrigerator models when choosing with freezer space in mind, the lowest freezer refrigerator units highlight great vigor efficiency than these side-door units. vigor Star readings narrative that the vigor usage of refrigerators with the freezer at the lowest is 16% less than side-freezer types.

Find Your Home Weather middle point

People don't often think that having a home weather hub can be a real bonus. This is particularly true if you live in an area that can be prone to severe and rapid changes in the weather such as tornadoes, hurricanes, or severe wind or ice storms.

Generally these storms are preceded by changes in the pressure readings. Knowing what those changes are, and watching for them can help you to keep your family safer.

Door Gasket Refrigerator

How do you find the best weather station, what does it take to be a good one, and how do you be sure that the one that you opt is cost-effective and convenient for you?

Choosing your home weather hub is best approached by taking a look at three dissimilar factors:

• Your Budget
• Your Needs
• Your Placement Opportunities

What is the best hub for you is going to be partly dictated by your budget. That doesn't mean that you can't get the best that you can afford. It means to get what you can afford and don't spend a vast sum of money on something that you not only can't afford, but has a studying curve that may take you months to overcome.

Getting a great weather hub can be complete for under 100 dollars. It will be one that will offer you pressure and temperature and humidity as well as other items that you'd like to see. Frankly, if you're not a weatherman, and do not honestly need heavy technology, then buying it is futile and a waste of money. Get the weather hub that you can afford, as well as the one that you need to achieve your tasks.

Some weather stations offer you some honestly superior software as well as the capability to join together to your computer and to offer your readings online on assorted websites. If you are into the more group aspects of weather networking, then this is the type of home weather hub that will be best for you and your intended purposes.

If you'd merely like to be able to read the temperature and the humidity and pressure, then one of the smaller models will work best for you and will also offer you the capability to place it in a less sunny area and make your readings more accurate.

Smaller models, not honestly a weather station, are equipped with an outdoor sensor and an indoor element to permit you a digital reading will typically cost about 30-50 dollars and work very well for your needs. They last several years and are a fairly spoton model. You can place them right face the door so they don't need any real special consideration.

Laser home weather stations may require a pole or a location that is away from the home somewhat to supply them with an spoton setting, will set you behind for about 300-400 for a good setup that will give you all of the puny details that you would like to have.

Set a cheap budge based on what you need and what you can honestly use.

Ways to choose a Refrigerator Lock

Refrigerator is the most critical domestic appliance and all the homemakers liked to use it everyday. However, one may take the help of the refrigerator lock if anything has a little child in the home.

Refrigerator locks help to stop the children to open the door of the refrigerators. There are separate types of locks that can be used in the refrigerator. The locks can be used in both the proper and double door refrigerators.

Door Gasket Refrigerator

One must fix the lock or latch at the upper part of the refrigerator so that the children will not get the lock in their hand. The locks are very good, as the children will not able to open or put anything inside the refrigerator. The elders of the house do not have to look over the whereabouts of the children and their naughty action.

There are separate types of locks and one can get to buy the locks from the online as well as from the shops. If anything wants to buy the locks from online market then they can see the reviews or comments from separate websites.

The modern refrigerators come with locks but one also add the latch or lock in the proper refrigerators. General refrigerators can be protected with the help of hasp and padlock.

The refrigerator locks are also beneficial to keep the refrigerator protected and safe from being unwanted invaders. The locks or latches are easy to open and they can be reopened very comfortably. One can open the locks very no ifs ands or buts and there are some locks, which are automated and need not wish any hardship to open.

Besides the children, many teenagers also like to open the doors of the refrigerator in the absence of their parents. The locks can also stop this bad habit. Therefore, the locks are fixed to safe the refrigerators from the useless trespassers.

The refrigerator locks are beneficial and advantageous as they help to stop to open the doors oftentimes and unnecessarily.

How to Troubleshoot a Gas Dryer - Part One

If your gas dryer does not work at all you can check the power coming from your house, the door switch, timer, and thermal fuse. To check if there is power, first see if your dryer is plugged in. (Yes, it might sound stupid, but it happens more often than you'd think!) Does the power outlet where the dryer is plugged in work? To test that, plug a lamp or something else in the outlet and see if it works. Also, check the circuit breaker and see if something has tripped a circuit or blown a fuse. If your door switch is faulty, then that could be a hypothesize why your gas dryer doesn't work at all. Your door switch is located inside the dryer main housing next to the door frame. If the part tests out bad, then you should replace it. Next, you can check the timer to see if that is the problem, basically if there are open contacts in the timer it won't work. Lastly, you can check the thermal fuse. The fuse is unquestionably a safety precaution portion in the dryer; it will blow if your dryer overheats. This fuse is located on the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. If your fuse has blown, and you test it with ah ohm meter, it won't have continuity. If this is what is causing your dryer to not work at all, you will need to replace the fuse because it cannot be reset.

If your dryer is not heating, you can check the igniter, gas valve coils, and the thermal fuse. Most gas dryers use an electronic type of igniter to ignite the gas coming in from the gas valve. If it glows a arresting orange, it is working properly. When your igniter burns out, the dryer will still tumble your clothes, but there won't be heat because the gas cannot ignite. If your igniter is burned out you will need to replace it. The igniter is located inside the dryer housing, near the front and towards the bottom. The igniter is regularly in a metal cone shaped tube. It's mounted to the far end of the burner tube and it should have some wires attached to it, or to the tension bracket. The next thing you can test are the gas valve coils. The first thing to watch for is the igniter, if it glows orange and then shuts off without igniting the gas, then there may be some faulty coils on your gas valve. When these coils get energized, they open the gas valve. If they are faulty then the valve won't open and the gas can't ignite. If this is the case with your dryer, it's best to replace all of the coils at the same time. To check the thermal fuse, you can result the exact instructions I stated in the old paragraph.

Door Gasket Refrigerator

If your dryer takes too long to dry your clothes you can check the vent, the flame sensor/gas valve, internal ductwork, and the cycling thermostat. Most of the time there is some sort of clog inside the venting that goes from your dryer to outside of the house. For a dryer to heat up, the duct has to be clear of any sort of clog or lint. To clean this out, you can use a vacuum. Also, vent cleaning should be done at least once a year, if you do laundry often. Next, you can check the flame sensor/gas valve. The flame sensor is next to the igniter. The gas may shut off before the cycle is accomplished if the flame sensor is defective. Sometimes one of the electrical coils on the gas valve fails. If this happens, the flame will shut off before your thermostat can send a signal, which will make the drying time a lot longer. If the sensor or the coils are the problem, replace them. If your dryer's internal ductwork gets clogged, it won't be able to run correctly. Most of the time you will need to disassemble your dryer to reach the ductwork, to clean out the clog. You can check this fast by sliding out your lint filter, and use a flashlight to look inside the duct. If you see a buildup of lint, you should clean it out with a vacuum. However, if you can't remove the clog with a vacuum, you might call a serviceman to do that for you. The cycling thermostat is not a coarse hypothesize why your dryer would take a long time to dry clothes, however it does happen sometimes. If this thermostat breaks, it can cause your dryer to heat improperly. You should replace it if it is faulty.

In summary, if this guide did not help you fix your problem, you should caress an appliance technician to fix it. However, I hope this narrative was handy in giving you some facts on how to troubleshoot your gas dryer in the future. In my next narrative I will help troubleshoot some more coarse gas dryer problems.

power Efficiency - How the Right Refrigerator Can Save You Money

Refrigerators inventory for almost 5 to 20 percent of our monthly power bills. Buying the right refrigerator and using it wisely can make a significant impact on our ecological footprint and our power bills. Even minor changes in family habit patterns of refrigerator use can follow in surprising savings over the procedure of a year. Keep reading for 5 tips you can do for both.

1. Setting your refrigerator to the right temperature.

Door Gasket Refrigerator

Ideally, your refrigerator's thermostat should be set to in any place between 37 and 40 degrees, and your freezer should be between 0 and 5 degrees. Setting your refrigerator a mere 10 degrees cooler can cost you as much as 25 percent more per month.

2. Spend in an power Star certified refrigerator.

While the preliminary cost of an power sufficient refrigerator will likely be higher than an uncertified model, you'll make back the extra cost after just a few short years of dramatic savings on your utility bills. Modern power Star certified refrigerators made today are over 150 percent more sufficient than their 1980s counterparts. That means trading up can save major dollars.

3. Clean and enounce your refrigerator coils.

The back of a refrigerator is a magnet for dirt and dust. Those dirty coils stop your refrigerator from working at maximum efficiency and wind up costing you money. To clean you refrigerator coils, pull the fridge out from the wall and unplug it. Then, using the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner, give the coils a suitable sweep.

When you're done, remove the panel on the lowest front of your refrigerator (it should snap off) and clean those coils as well. Halt up by cleaning the floor under your refrigerator and rolling it back into place.

4. Seal your gaskets.

Your freezer and refrigerator doors have rubber gaskets on them that seal them and keep the cold air inside. If a gasket is damaged or worn out, your refrigerator has to work extra hard to keep the inner air cool. This costs you money.

To test the seals, close the door on a sheet of paper. When you pull the paper out, you should feel the gasket gripping on to it. If it slips out easily, you need to replace your gaskets.

5. Level your refrigerator.

A refrigerator works by using a compressor to pump refrigerant straight through its coils. If your fridge isn't level, this takes more energy. While refrigerators are designed to tilt slightly backwards (to keep the door closed), they need to be level from side to side.

Washing Machines, Engineer Shares Trade Tips - Banish Horrible Black Stains on Door Seals

In my many years of repairing varied washing machines and tumble dryers, it is only this last 4 or 5 years that I have noticed the door gaskets (The rubber seal round the door of washing machines) turning black. It is happening to detergent drawers too. It is becoming a big problem and if you don't know how to take off it. Then it will soon start to stain the clothes you are trying to wash, your washing motor will smell bad and it may well break down soon. Before I tell you how I take off the horrible black stains, lets look first at what may be the cause of them. When I started repairing washers and dryers over 30 years ago, it was fairly normal to be working on a motor that was already 20 years old and had plentifulness more use left in it. I don't see that any more these days, in my sense you are doing well if your motor lasts 5 years and I commonly see machines at 2 years old that are ready for the recycling heap.

And all those years ago, I never saw horrible black slime growing on door gaskets or in detergent drawers. So what has changed? Well, today's machines use much less water than the old ones. We also wash at very low temperatures day in and day out. I also think more of us use liquid detergent and we are being good consumers, using far too much of everything (Detergent and softener) The black stains on door gaskets and in detergent drawers are in my opinion, just a build up of fungus, mould and bacteria. It well starts to grow into the rubber of the door gasket and even a good hard scrub wont shift it because it's well growing into it.

Door Gasket Refrigerator

When low temperatures are used all the time, then there is nothing to kill the bacteria. There is nothing in the detergent to kill it and the low wash temperatures well encourage it to grow. To kill bacteria, mould and fungus you need heat or chemicals and we are not well using that any more. We are in fact giving the bacteria etc. everything it needs to thrive.

Mild Heat. (That's the temperature we are all washing at these days)
Moisture (When your motor is not being used, it is a very moist place)
Lack of Light (Inside a Washing motor is not the brightest place around)

So that's my plan as to why we are having these problems now. In the Uk I see that the Vanish enterprise have brought out an in wash anti-bacterial additive, It's a good idea and it may help to stop this problem in future. What can be done to take off this black mould etc.? Scrubbing won't work, it will sell out it slightly, but you will be damaging the rubber, so don't do it. I have found that commonplace house hold bleach will take off it, but it needs to be left on for at least 12 hours. So just pouring it on the rubber is no good as it will run off and be wasted. Here is what I do.

Soak a dish cloth in bleach and lay it right on top of the door rubber, where the stains are worst. Tidy up the edges and flat the cloth out so it is in direct sense with the stains. Then leave it over night or for at least 12 hours. This will kill the fungus and clean the rubber right up. If your dish cloth doesn't cover all of the stain, then treat each area separately over a combine of days until all the black stains are gone.

Before using your washing machine, set it on a rinse cycle, to wash the door gasket and wash away any traces of bleach left, before putting any laundry in to it. Now to clean out the Detergent drawer and holder (The place the detergent dispenser slides into). Dissimilar machines have Dissimilar ways of removing the detergent drawer. If you are not sure how to do this, check the instructions for your machine. Or "Google" free instructions for your make and model of machine.

The same formula for cleaning rubber door gaskets works for detergent drawers as well, except, do give the drawer a good scrub 1st (It's much stronger than a rubber gasket and will take no harm) Again make sure the cloth which is wet with bleach comes into direct sense with the stains. Just like the guidance for cleaning a washing motor door gasket, leave for at least 12 hours and repeat if needed.

To clean the compartment that the drawer slides into (still with the drawer removed)

You will need a dish scrubber. You know the type, you see them in Supermarkets (plastic deal with with a bristle head) You don't need a top of the line one, I find the funds ones are the best. Give the inside of the detergent compartment a good clean with a dish scrubber, dip it into some water and clean the compartment out 3 or 4 times. Caution. This next step can be hazardous so I won't tell you to do it. I will instead tell you what I do. If you want to do as I do, it's up to you. I Spray normal house hold bleach into the compartment and leave it for an hour or so.

I have not been able to find a good spray bleach, so I pour some quarterly house hold bleach into an old spray bottle. The type with a direct spray and not a mist type spray is best. I kneel in front of the motor and stay well back, holding the spray bottle at arms length. I always wear safety goggles (I don't want my eyes bleached) and just spray into the open detergent compartment, making sure to give the inside top part, a good covering. After about an hour, a good wipe out with a terry type towel brings the compartment up like new. Congratulations, you now have a washing motor which is nice and clean and won't be staining your laundry or smelling too bad.

Now to keep it that way. Turn up the temperature once a week.

Bed sheets and towels should be washed at 60 degrees. 15, 30 or 40 degrees is not killing germs (mould, dust mites etc.)

Wash these items once a week at 60 degrees. It will help to kill germs and it will keep your motor seeing and smelling fresh. Low temperature washes may well use less electricity per wash, but if it means you are having to buy a new Washing motor every 2 years. Are you well salvage anything? Never mind the mould, fungus, bacteria and dust mites you haven't killed.

I suggest that you use 50% less detergent than is recommended on the packet. (A nice help to our Planet) and your pocket. I don't use fabric conditioner at all. Did you know that the more detergent you use, the more conditioner you need to use as well. It's the detergent and conditioner splashing up inside the detergent drawer, as it's being washed out, that causes the horrible black gunge in a detergent drawer. I don't use it at all. I use white vinegar instead. That's white, or clear (it looks just like water) and is often called "Distilled Vinegar" The vinegar goes into the compartment in the detergent drawer where the fabric conditioner would go. I just fill it up with vinegar.

No, my clothes don't smell of vinegar and I have one gleaming clean and fresh smelling washing motor (8 years old now). The vinegar is also de-scaling my washing motor and it's cheaper than buying de-scaling tablets in the Supermarket.

So to re-cap. When you have your Washing motor all cleaned up. Keep it clean by doing at least one hot wash per week (60 degrees) Cut right down on the estimate of detergents and fabric conditioner you use (nice minuscule salvage for you) consider replacing the fabric conditioner you use now with "Distilled" white or clear vinegar. You will save money, your clothes won't be picking up stains from a dirty door gasket, the vinegar de-scales and cleans your machine, so it should last longer which just might help the environment a tiny bit.

Defrosting Tips For Your Fridge & Freezer

Are you thinking of defrosting formula for your freezer or fridge? Then check this out.

Always switch off and unplug the freezer before cleaning or defrosting.

Door Gasket Refrigerator

Load the contents of your freezer into large dustbin bags and cover the bags with a duvet or blanket. The food should stay icy for several hours. But use a cool box for ice cream or soup which melt quickly.

After defrosting, wash fridges and freezers with a explication of two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda to 1 litre (2 pints) of warm water-it removes lingering smells.

Rub the inside of your freezer with glycerine, ready from chemists, after it has defrosted. When you next have to defrost it, the ice will come away from the sides more easily.

Use a wet/dry vacuum cleaner to suck up any water left on the floor.

Defrosting fridge/freezers is much easier with a two-control model. That way, you can use the fridge to keep foodstuffs icy while you deal with the freezer.

If you do not like defrosting, you can all the time pay more for a frost-free freezer which never needs it.

Replacing a worn seal

If your fridge door will not close properly, or the inside of the fridge seems warmer than it should be, the seal colse to the door may have gone. Check it by end a thin strip of paper in the door. When the door is shut, the paper should be tightly gripped, and should not slide easily.

If you want to convert the seal (also known as the gasket) yourself, buy a new one from a stockiest listed in the yellow Pages under 'refrigerator repairs'. Check with the shop or the manufacturers how to replace it, or call in an engineer.

Is your fridge green enough?

One of the major causes of concern about the world ozone layer is the use of chlorofluorocarbon - chemicals that are used in a fridge insulation and cooling system. New technology has developed a non-chlorofluorocarbon coolant, but how do you get rid of an old fridge or freezer?

If you buy a new fridge or freezer from a major freezer centre, it will probably procure your old one free of fee and take off the chlorofluorocarbon safety before it recycled.

Sell your old fridge, do not scrap it. Or look out for notices in your area telling you who are recycling old fridges. Ask the local authority.

If you are buying a fridge/freezer, look into how power efficient it is. Some use more electricity than others- the manufacturers will be able to tell you how much - so compare the distinct models.

Walk-In Coolers - learning All About Walk-In Coolers

Although it is generally believed that walk-in coolers work the same way as household refrigerators, these two types of cooling units truly control in very separate ways. Refrigerators use the cold air that is generated by the freezer within them to keep the refrigerator section cold. Walk-coolers generates the cold air that they need to keep the air the temperature that the thermostat is set at, using fans and a condenser that cycles on and off in order to profess the temperature of the unit. In this way the technology that operates a walk-in cooler is more similar to the way an air conditioner works than a refrigerator.

The Condenser Unit and the Thermostat
It is the thermostat that controls the temperature in a walk-in cooler. When the temperature inside the unit starts to raise above the temperature the thermostat is set at, the condenser unit switches on and starts a new cooling cycle. The fans in the unit then pull air inside the cooler and over the coils of the condenser. The coolant that is inside of the coils removes the heat from the air as it passes over them. The cooled air then moves out the back of the unit, and is a diminutive colder than when it was pulled in. This continues until the temperature of the air either matches or is colder than the temperature on the thermostat. The coolant in the condenser coils is constantly pumped while the cooling cycle; this makes sure that the coolant won't heat up too much before cooling down again.

Door Gasket Refrigerator

There is another cycle that ensures that the condenser doesn't freeze up and come to be covered in ice and frost. If the temperature falls too low (generally nearby 35 degrees Fahrenheit), the fans start again, but without the coolant in the coils cycling through. This gently warms the condenser coils and the temperature starts to rise. This defrost cycle will stop when the temperature inside the cooler is back within suitable range.

Insulation
One leading factor in an productive walk-in cooler is its insulation. suitable walk-in coolers have between 2 and 4 inches of Styrofoam insulation within their walls along with a rubber sealing gasket nearby the door that helps ensure that it is both well-insulated and airtight. The Styrofoam and sealing gasket keep face temperatures from influencing the air inside the cooler, and make sure the condenser has to cool only the air that is inside the unit.

Tips On How To Avoid Refrigerator Problems

It is not enough that you secure the most contemporary and the most sophisticated refrigerator. While most refrigerators are pretty reliable, they can cause major headaches if they break down. Proper maintenance is the key in avoiding refrigerator problems.

If you want to make the most out of this household appliance, you should check out the following tips:

Door Gasket Refrigerator

1. Install your refrigerator properly.

Many refrigerator problems appear later mainly because of improper installation. Make sure that your fridge arrives in excellent condition. Do not plug it immediately. Allow it to rest for about half a day before using it. When trying to transfer it to your kitchen, do not bump it on door frames or the edges of furniture.

Make sure you also place your fridge away from kitchen appliances that yield heat. That means you should Install it in the opposite direction of your gas range or your microwave oven.

Do not Install it close to your kitchen wall. Try to leave a space of about 2 inches in between the fridge and the wall. This will allow hot air to exhaust properly.

2. Commonly check the refrigerator temperature settings.

If the temperature is too low, it can cause frosting inside the machine. If you have accidentally turned up the temperature, the frost might melt and this can cause leaky refrigerator problems.

You don't authentically need to set it to the bottom temperature. Just the right Fahrenheit that can ward off germs and bacteria is needed.

3. Do not slam the door shut.

This might damage the rubber gasket of the engine or warp the exterior of the door. If the rubber gasket fails in sealing the door close, air can escape. This might forestall the engine from maintaining a good temperature inside the fridge. As a result, it will consume more power in maintaining the right temperature.

You might have to replace the rubber gasket if it is not already working properly. Plane out the warped areas first before installing the new rubber gasket.

4. Clean your fridge.

Do not allow molds or mildew to appear. Dispose rotten items inside the fridge. Also get rid of stains and spills right away. Just use a wet sycophant dipped in soapy water.

5. If your fridge has a water dispenser, Commonly replace the filter.

It is advisable to change the filter twice a year. This will make sure that debris will not secure and will not obstruct the flow of water.

vigor sufficient Window Film Vs New Windows - Comparison on execution

First you need to find out if you verily need new windows.

Here are some questions for you, write back as if the cost wasn't an issue:

Door Gasket Refrigerator

In Winter time frost or ice forms on the inside of your windows panes? You never get to hear your fridge motor, even at nights? You live on a busy road and cars and noises bother you all the time? In cold weather your windows let the cold air in, you can see your draperies spirited and feel cold air sometimes? Your windows are difficult to operate, elders and children may be at risk in case of emergency? (Are your windows too heavy?) Are your frames rotten, or you have dry rots nearby the face of your windows? Are your windows are aesthetically unappealing? Can you see light through your window frames? Are you just looking to save money on your power bill? You got aluminum framed windows and these are damaged, faded to rusted brown, yellowish, or so.? Do you see broken seals nearby your window frames, the grids are fallen, or have other major issue? You are construction an addition or remodeling a room? You got a room that is too dark, has a nice area for a good window and/or needs natural light? Paint is falling off the outer / inner adjacent area to your window? Does your double pane windows, gain water, moist, mold, vapor, fog, etc? Does someone in home uses Oxygen for curative proposes? Can you hear your windows shaking when slamming a door?

Here is the best advise: Get a pro offering you a free assessment for your new windows, and settle if they are or not for you. settle if you are going to be buying new windows and when...Please do not let them over price this for you. A good potential Window, with life time warranty and the best looking on Vinyl frames retrofit or replacement windows shouldn't take you to bankruptcy... Here we have analyzed some of the best brands...Ask me. (Can't publish for distinct reasons) But please do not fall for the cheap ones, nor the one price fits all...you could regret it sooner or later.

Now here is the comparison in the middle of power productive windows Vs. power productive film, on its performance.

Note: - We are departing that none of the above questions in the first section is an issue on your case.

Energy productive window film

Think on power productive window film in situations where you have older, or low-efficiency, but still airtight windows and if you need to increase their power efficiency without spending a lot of money on new windows. These films cut on radiant heat passing through your windows and also reduce Uv radiation entering the home and a microscopic bit the estimate of visible spectrum light as well. Help avoid color fading and so much advantages mentioned in this site.

Energy productive window film is very easy and fast to install: You wouldn't need a highly trained contractor, so you save money on the facility as well. (Find the link with instructions at the lowest of this article)

Of course, power productive window film doesn't block out all infrared radiation, but it does get most of it: rejecting 99% of the Uv radiation reducing fading and the risk of skin cancer.. And it provides close to the same level of power efficiency as buying new windows with low-E coatings, assuming you are not in the situations listed above.

Energy productive window film, can block up to 38% of the heat loss that normally escapes through your windows in winter, and up to 70% of the solar power that normally enters through the windows in summer.

In addition to the power recovery benefits, solar window film can increase thermal ease and reduce glare.

If you came looking technical information, here are some astounding numbers about the efficiency offered by some of the best of these films:

Total Solar power Rejected more than 70% Uv Light Rejected practically 100% Glare reduction more than 80% Visible Light Reflected face more than 40% Solar Heat reduction practically 70%

Energy productive double Pane windows (Replacement vinyl framed windows)

Obviously there is no comparison on the doing of these highly high technology products. And is not due to the dual glass panes compared against the singular pane windows, And not only the multilayered films that come in both of the panes of these windows, but in top of that now they come with Argon gas filling in the middle of the glass panes, (Argon is a safe gas, very dense and bad conductor of heat, all the time present on the air we breath all the time; so is not scary.)

The sophisticated and technologically developed material used in the construction of the frames of these windows, together with the very unique make of the vinyl frame profiles, the potential of the new technology applied to gaskets and seals, spacers, etc. There is no match on the efficiency obtained. These new windows may save up to 40% of your utility bill under distinct conditions.

You will need a responsible and reputable pro recommend to learn about your inherent savings. It all depends on where you live and how do you live. He will know with a few questions if new windows will reach this goal. Get supplementary info here at the lowest of the article.

Without entering on deep technical data (Which can be found at http://www.energystar.gov ) here will mentioned that an power Star rated window Must be productive enough, to be airtight, and its glass panes, most be constructed in a manner that reflect sun, heat and Uv Rays. So you will not need that much power to be comfy at home: > Warning: So many population states that they practically never use their Hvac but Keep fans and ceiling fans running 24/7 Be careful, these are smallest and less productive systems to cool your home...rather than your Hvac, and this power is not free!)

Energy productive windows are Rated by generally these factors:

U-Rate or U-factor. Means coefficient of heat transmission, a portion of the rate of non-solar heat loss or gain through a material or assembly. U-values gauge how well a material allows heat to pass through. U-value ratings ordinarily fall in the middle of 0.20 and 1.20. The lower the U-value, the greater a product's resistance to heat flow and the good its insulating value. The inverse of (one divided by) the U-value is R-value

R-value is plainly how resistant a material (A window in this case) is to avoid the pass og the heat through.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (Shgc)

Putting simple words these portion how much heat your room gains from solar radiation admitted through a window, whether directly transmitted and absorbed and subsequently released inward. It rates in the middle of 0 and 1. The lower a window's solar heat gain coefficient, the less solar heat it transmits. Inside your building.

Visible Transmittance (Vt)

This portion the visible light from the sun in your room. portion varies in the middle of 0 and 1, most values among double and triple pane windows are in the middle of 0.30 and 0.70. It is not known to have a whole 1 in this factor, would be like having 100% and is not likely to happen. However, the more light is transmitted, the better, this is desirable to maximize daylight; so you don/t have to use electric light during the day.

Air Leakage (Al)

Heat loss and gain occur by interchange of air from inside/outside of your home. Infiltration through cracks in the window's assembly. These rating (Al) is measured by cubic feet of air passing through a square foot of window area in a given time. Airtight is never 100% on portable windows. New windows should have rates of 0.30 or less (cfm/sq ft=cubic feet per minute, per square foot of window). Just know that high potential windows tend to be way higher than these standards, in each sense, your investment will pay.

Not considering the enhance, the ease and curb appeal, your new windows are maybe the best upgrade you can make to the face on your home. Reconsider that, aluminum framed windows just like the singular pane windows; are something you will need to replace today or in the feature.

Conclusions:

Energy productive window films will be a temporary solution in most cases. Still if you are in a allocation and have nice and sound windows; you may add a potential power productive film and safe your home while recovery energy. No doubt. Even on older windows, you will improve the performance.

Energy productive vinyl windows now are available in colors and textures even wood-like; to satisfy the most picky people. And of course, there are windows made out of real wood, beautiful and efficient; you pay a more and they need maintenance, but it may worth.

If you are reasoning about new power productive windows; let us know your concerns, and we will be more than glad to offer you answers from the professionals.

How to Fix a Leaky Fridge

If happens to everybody - you walk into the kitchen and find a shallow puddle of water moderately spreading out from under your refrigerator. A leaky fridge can be a pain for a estimate of reasons, and not only do you risk losing all the food in the fridge, but all that water on the floor can cause potentially serious problems for your floor as well as the fridge itself. Fortunately, most refrigerator leaks are fairly simple fixes that you can take care of pretty unquestionably on your own.

How to Fix a Leaky Fridge

Door Gasket Refrigerator

Check the door seal - probably 7 times out of 10, a "leak" in your fridge isn't unquestionably a leak at all - instead, the problem arises because your fridge door doesn't close properly, causing the fridge to have to work harder to keep your food cold, causing excess condensation to build up on the coils which ends up production a swimming pool on your kitchen floor. To fix this problem, shut off the fridge, peel off the refrigerator seal and wash it with warm, soapy water. Next, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the seal and put it back on the door. Once you've done this, replace the gaskets on your fridge and then adjust the legs so the refrigerator leans slightly backwards - this will keep any water that builds up inside the fridge from leaking out.

Check the drain pan - if you're not having problems with your refrigerator door seal, check to make sure your refrigerator drain pan is not cracked or damaged. The drain pan is what catches all that condensation from your refrigerator coils, so if it has any cracks or holes in it, this is obviously going to cause some problems. Thought about slide the drain pan out from under the refrigerator (don't spill!) and observe it. If you see any damaged, have the pan replaced. Where is the drain pan located?

Check the defrost drain - if your drain pan is fine, the problem might lie with the defrost drain in the back of the fridge. Remember how we said the drain pan was there to catch condensation from the refrigerator coils? Well the defrost drain is what catches all that condensate and directs it to the pan. Ice or other debris can clog up the defrost drain, so if you have any of these problems, pour a exiguous hot water into the drain. This should melt the ice or push the clog out into the drain pan. Where is this located?

Check the ice maker - if your door seal, drain pan and defrost drain all check out, you may have a problem with your ice maker. It doesn't happen very often, but occasionally the ice maker water line can come unplugged and drip water right into the freezer - obviously not where you want it to be! Reach into the freezer and tighten up all the screws in the ice maker. You can even replace the whole water line if you need to.

Call a plumber! - if you've tried all listed above and you still can't stop your fridge leak, call a refrigerator mend company. They'll be able to outline out exactly what's wrong with you fridge and how to fix it.

Wine Cork Recycling

When a someone thinks of cork, they may think of a collection of things. Some habitancy may think of the material used for bulletin boards, while some may think of material used for coasters. Others, fully confused, may simply think of cork as the other white meat. Chances are, however, when most habitancy think of cork, they think of wine. Part of each others' lives, the two are nearly inseparable, especially without a wine opener.

What is Cork?

Door Gasket Refrigerator

It would be easy to define a cork with a simple, unrefined answer. We could say that cork is a lightweight, inert substance providing blockage of liquids and leave it at that. But, because cork is an elemental part of wine, it is bestowed with definite elegance and sophistication. For this reason, wine cork deserves a more grandiose introduction: Cork hails from the bark of the Cork Oak tree, Quercus Suber. Produced extensively in Portugal, cork enjoys being fire resistant, providing insulation, and the company of fine alcohol.

Since cork is very elastic and impermeable, it makes a great bottle stopper; for cork, just like for many of us, wine was destiny. Its adaptability, additionally, makes it an easy material to compress without change to the original shape. It was these qualities that intrigued Dom Perignon, a French Benedictine monk, to use cork in a bottle of champagne, thus influencing the world of wine from that moment on.

How Do Wine Corks sway the Environment?

Wine corks are environmentally friendly, like a material that is always willing to lend a helping hand or an encouraging word to the ecosystem. This makes wine corks stand out from other forms of packaging, forms that often hinder their surroundings rather than help them.

Wine corks are biodegradable, natural, and renewable. They also don't go to waste, with each aspect of a wine cork having the inherent to come to be something else. Even cork dust can be used for fuel and cork residue can be used to make other cork products.

Cork forests, where cork oak trees reside, are leading to the balance of the ecosystems with several species, together with endangered species, calling these forests home.

What is Wine Cork Recycling?

Many places, such as Europe and Australia, have programs set up for wine cork recycling. Dropping wine corks off in designated areas, the wine corks are granulated and turned into products such as pin boards, tile, motor gaskets, hockey balls, security mats, and boat decks. Recently, wine cork has even been used in rocket technology.

Because wine cork is one of the easier materials to recycle, there seems small surmise to not recycle it. However, the Us does not routinely engage in wine cork recycling, leaving some environmentalists to wonder why.

This wonderment, not small to individuals, has been adopted by a few Us based companies. One of these companies, Yemm and Hart, a firm specializing in the recycling of products, is conducting an experiment asking for wine corks that they can recycle. Theorizing that cork is a critical resource that should not go to waste, Yemm and Hart plan to begin manufacturing tack boards, coasters, plaques, and floor tiles all made from wine cork.

What Are Creative Ways to Recycle Wine Cork?

If the conception of wine cork recycling catches on, recycling wine cork in the Us may someday be as straightforward as recycling newspapers or soda cans. In the meantime, however, those who live in America can recycle their wine corks straight through a few creative means.

While some habitancy have donated wine corks to children's museums, for use in displays and dioramas, others have made wreaths and attractive pieces out of old wine corks. Some habitancy wire together wine corks and make hot pads while others suggest gluing sliced wine corks to the lowest of vases and knickknacks, as a means to keep these items from scratching tables and shelves. habitancy have even found old wine corks useful as door stops, knife scrubbers, and pin cushions.

Just as wine should never go to waste, neither should wine corks. A extremely useable material, there are several ways wine corks can be recycled, even if it's not routinely done on a national level. With all the kinds of packaging that can destroy the Earth, cork is an exception. A special material, cork is able to safe wine and the world by putting a stop to wastefulness.

How Laboratory Refrigerators and Freezers Are Used in the Lab

A laboratory refrigerator or lab freezers have an sure and necessary function; these units are used to cool or frost samples for preservation. Typically, refrigerators are used to store samples at a climatic characteristic between - 5 and 15 degrees Celsius, while freezers will regularly store samples at a climatic characteristic between - 25 and - 15 degrees Celsius.

Some laboratory freezers are used to store biological samples such as vaccines at a significantly lower temperature. Cryogenic frosty is also used in some laboratories, but requires specialized tool that is capable of generating and tolerating exceptionally low temperatures. Ultra low climatic characteristic freezers (usually -50 degrees C and below) commonly use a dual compressor cascade type of ideas to reach these low temperatures. The first compressor is used to fetch a climatic characteristic of nearby -40 degrees C, after which the second compressor kicks in to achieve the lower climatic characteristic that is needed. These lab freezers will be regularly be noisier than a -20 degrees C freezer, originate more heat output into the room and will use more energy. They are also more high-priced to repair than a acceptable laboratory refrigerator or freezer if the compressor needs to be replaced, since this will want a repair technician who specializes in these somewhat exotic compressors.

Lab refrigerators and freezers contain tool for storing samples and special instrumentation used for conducting experiments requiring precise climatic characteristic control. For example, a lab refrigerator can be used to set up chromatography apparatus within the refrigerator chamber.

Refrigeration and frosty tool is also used for the warehouse of curative or pharmaceutical supplies. A blood bank uses a lab refrigerator to withhold the ability of its blood supply. Laboratory refrigerators and lab freezers that store blood and blood products must meet a collection of regulatory and ability standards for sure reasons. They regularly come with an alarm ideas to warn laboratory personnel of an tool failure. Plasma can be stored frosty in a plasma freezer for an extended time period. Since the typical expiration date is one year from the collection date, the qoute of maintaining an sufficient blood provide is greatly reduced. Pharmacies may also use a laboratory refrigerator to store vaccines, medications and other climatic characteristic sensitive compounds.

Laboratory refrigerators and laboratory freezers contain tool for frosty blood plasma or other blood products for time to come use. Some lab freezers are used to store enzymes or other biological reagents used to show the way tests. Laboratory refrigerators and laboratory freezers may be stand-alone, upright units or may fit under the lab counter. A lab freezer may also be fitted with locks to restrict entry, and may even be designed to safely insulate flammable materials from electrical sparks. Some laboratory refrigerators and laboratory freezers are also used as incubators that cycle between a heating duration and a refrigeration period. These types of refrigerators are often used for culturing and monitoring the increase of bacteria.

Flammable chemicals that want refrigeration must only be stored in a laboratory refrigerator that is designed for the safe warehouse of flammables. A flammable liquid is defined as having a flash point of less than 100 degrees F (38 degrees C). Flammable warehouse laboratory refrigerators are Ul beloved for warehouse of flammable chemicals; lab freezers are often used for this purpose as well. Flammable warehouse refrigerators have no electrical sparking devices, relays, switches or thermostats that could ignite flammable vapors inside the cabinet. They may also combine originate features such as thresholds, self-closing doors, magnetic door gaskets and special inner shell materials that control or limit the damage should a reaction occur within the warehouse compartment.

A label stating 'Flammable Materials Refrigerator: Keep fire away' should recognize such refrigerators. Flammable warehouse units cannot be located in a room containing explosive vapors, but chemicals that exude explosive vapors can be safely stored inside them. They are called lab-safe, fire-safe or explosion safe refrigerators. These refrigerators are more costly than the acceptable household or even laboratory refrigerator for that matter, but they must be used if flammables will be stored in the refrigerator.

Explosion proof laboratory refrigerators and lab freezers are rated Ul explosion-proof and are similar in originate to the flammable warehouse units, but they also have all operating components sealed against entry of explosive vapors. Electrical junction boxes are also sealed after connections are made. These units are beloved for warehouse of volatile materials in areas with explosive atmospheres and are the most costly of all types. This type of refrigerator is only required when storing flammable materials in an area with an explosive atmosphere such as a solvent dispensing room. An explosion proof laboratory refrigerator has very limited use on campus and want special risky location wiring rather than easy cord and plug connections.

mobile Foodservice Options

Getting a road vendor, an outdoor-event foods provider, or component of a foods court is other role that an current bistro or institutional foodservice enterprise can play to increase visibility and behalf in nontraditional areas where inherent customers congregate. Nearly every type of foodservice procedure, from country clubs to covenant feeders, can inspect a method to make use of cellular cooking and serving equipment, as lengthy as they think about their return on purchase.

Whether it's called a cellular merchandiser, vending cart, kiosk, foods center, or concession trailer, these models are made to take foods to customers when time constraints and/or distance avoid them from patronizing the main dining facility. The very first movable merchandisers were small a lot more than tables on wheels from which prepackaged foods and beverages had been sold. Today they can be custom-ordered with food-holding compartments, fryers, warmers, induction cookers, microwave or pizza ovens, refrigerators or refrigerated display cases, beverage dispensers, cash registers, safe-keeping space, power and water lines, exhaust fans, and vented hoods.

If a hot dog cart with a bun steamer is all you'll need, terrific; but there are also perfect mini-kitchens. This category of gear could be divided practically into two segments: indoor and outdoor. The indoor options consist of buffet assistance carts and foods merchandisers that can hold warm or cold food, typically used as efficient ways to increase display or counter room. Outdoor carts are a lot more self-contained than buffet service carts, and they're made to withstand weather and to be visible. They often consist of spicy canopies, awnings, or umbrellas, with sufficient counter and storehouse room for two employees. Your cellular merchandising choice (and price) will depend on answers to a consolidate of questions:

Will service take location on one, two, or three sides from the cart?
Will the execution need a staff, or be self-service?
Wherever will money alter hands and money be safely stored?
Where will the cart be stationed-indoors or outdoors? At a mall, indoor arena, ballpark, carnival, foods court?
Which meals (and what times of day) will the cart function?
How will wares be displayed-photos and menu boards?
Show instances?
Wherever will you store the cart when not in use?
How big are the doors, aisles, and other spaces that it will have to fit straight through or into?

Carts differ in size, from three to 10 feet in length. Most fold down to some degree, development them relatively simple to safe after hours and to store. A handy note: A unit having a pop-out heater or cooler within the base can do duplicate duty being a warmer or refrigerator, depending on your wants. Other experts propose purchasing carts that will create as significantly heat as feasible, because doors from the heated compartments is going to be opened and done frequently. Some carts are modular and can be bought in fit-together units-a cold-food module, a hot-food module, or maybe a coffee module that may achieve with each other. Oftentimes these could be custom-made to match a single space. When purchasing for carts, you ought to look at this list of particulars:

Frame. Welded stainless steel is most likely to be the strongest but also the heaviest; lighter frames are made of aluminum. inspect the manufacturer's specifications for weight, being a fully loaded cart can weigh from 400 to 1000 pounds.

Exterior finish. A cart can be created from wood, laminate, plastic, and/or stainless steel. The National Fire security relationship is pushing for a lot more municipal codes that need the use of fireproof food carts, which means that a wooden cart might limit your way to some inherent locations. The shell from the cart ought to be done with an excellent weatherproof coating. Stainless steel is one of the most precious (and once again, the heaviest), but it is rustproof and easy to clean. Laminates are spicy but can chip with heavy use. Polyethylene (polyester reinforced with Fiberglas) is categorically durable and comes in numerous colors, but the "plastic" appear may not fit the image you wish to project.

Countertops and wells. Stainless steel is the best food sense surface, since it is easy to completely clean and sanitize; the wells (the indentations in the counter wherever food or beverages are displayed) should all the time be stainless steel and completely insulated. Laminates are a lower-cost, low-end countertop option; chic-looking finishes also are obtainable in composite materials, such as Corian, Silestone, and Zodiaq. Hardware. Hinges and brackets and handles ought to be heavy-duty and corrosionresistant. Stainless steel and chromed brass are the most common. A cart set with each other with screws will price more than one put with each other with rivets, but it's worth the extra expense. A loose screw can facilely be tightened; a loose rivet has to possess a new hole drilled. Be positive there is sufficient storehouse space about the cart; an excellent rule is four cubic ft of safe-keeping for each five feet of cart length. And the quality to lock the space is also important, as becoming capable to derive the contents reduces time and labor as nicely as theft potential.

Casters. What make the carts cellular are the wheels and here, too, there are choices. For indoor use, smaller carts ought to have hard Neoprene™ casters, a minimum of 3 inches, that won't mar floors. For outdoor use, the typical cart has five-inch casters and some have eight-inch tires, foam-filled or air-filled. Foam-filled tires work nicely for carts that move often, as the foam keeps the tires from getting flat spots in them; air-filled tires work best on rough surfaces and are convenient for carts that stay stationary most of the time.

Umbrellas and awnings. These should be retractable so the man pushing the cart can see wherever he or she is going with it, and tall sufficient (8 to 10 feet) to ensure that tall customers will not hit their heads on it. Durability of the fabric is essential, because it can dry out, fade, and tear over time. Power sources. A cart is created to come to be as self-sufficient as possible. Cold-food carts can use ice or chilling compartments to hold cold foods at derive temperatures, but numerous other types of carts need sources of power and water. The more gear on the cart, the greater the amperage it will need, and maybe 208-volt or 240-volt service. Basic indoor carts are normally electric, running on 115/250-volt power; they should be outfitted with sufficient lengths of cords and right kinds of plugs for the outlets you will be using.

Outdoor carts might be equipped with rechargeable batteries or a little propane generator. Propane is regarded the safest fuel choice by numerous fire marshals, but it also is one of the most costly. A 22-volt, 50-amp propane generator can cost as much as 00, along with a single propane tank provides about three hours of heat. You should decide early within the buying process regardless of either you would like your unit to come to be completely self-contained or plug-in. If the cart will stay in one location and gas is ready nearby, you might decide to order your cart having a quick-disconnect line for natural gas. Water and drains. A cart that includes hand-washing or prep sinks will have an onboard drinking water tank, heated with electrical power, plus a direct hookup to an external water source. For convenience, drains in the wells of the cart should be tied into a single drain line.

Accessories. You in no way know what you may require, but it is nice when the maker can offer a range of gear created to match the cart: sneeze guards, drop-in plate or cup dispensers, tray slides, adjustable shelves, demonstration mirrors, and so on.

A kiosk is set in a fixed area. It's a lot more like a small framework than a cart, using the worker typically seated within the framework. security is a major concern, because the kiosk can't be rolled behind a locked door after several hours. Make sure yours can be covered and/or locked when not in operation, or you'll need to make arrangements to possess it guarded. Kiosks come using the same range of gear options as carts and are large sufficient to adapt ventilation for a lot more explain bistro functions, like grilling.

They could be fitted with hoods, conveyor ovens... Just about something you'd need to turn out a specialty product. One preponderant observation: Kiosks have a way of seducing their operators into adding a wide range of products for sale, to capture more clients. Keep in mind, more highly skilled labor is needed to staff these kiosks. Some restaurants use a cart inside the traditional dining facility, to sample and test new menu products, to function a single type of food (for example desserts or specialty coffees), or to cope overflow crowds. When tastes and/or traffic changes, the cart or kiosk can be moved.

At this writing, the main chains are likely to use carts in airports, colleges, and hospitals and similar areas, while independent operators seem to choose kiosks more frequently. One isn't necessarily much great than the other; they meet varied foodservice wants. A final alternative, for vendors who function foods at ballparks, county fairs, concerts, and other outdoor venues, is the concession trailer. Riding on 15-inch tires, it can be pulled behind a vehicle and set up with stabilizing jacks at each website of operation. Like any other trailer, a concession trailer has its personal brake and signal lights, axles, and brakes.

Inside, the tool can run on either gas or electricity. In most jurisdictions, correct rules for cellular foodservice apply to security, cleanliness and look. Numerous cities need that movable units be dismantled daily for cleaning and sanitizing. Some communities (e.g., Los Angeles and Orange County, California) need that movable units have 50 percent a lot more room for wastewater than fresh water, to avoid overflows. There should be a derive way to drain the drinking water created by melting ice instead of claim food seated in it. Other sanitation requirements consist of a separate hand-washing sink-and for foods preparation, a three-compartment sink deep sufficient to submerge all utensils-so a water contribute is critical. The cart can carry its personal drinking water or be capable of hookup to a remote drinking water provide. The cooking tool about the cart must fulfill National Sanitation Foundation International (Nsfi) and Underwriters Laboratory standards for security and sanitation.

Foods security is a main consideration. If you store raw meats or vegetables, function perishable products or cream-filled pastries, refrigeration is categorically a requirement. Heated compartments and warming lamps normally need an electric power supply. Some carts can be plugged in long sufficient to heat the food, then unplugged to move close to, with storehouse in an insulated compartment that keeps the foods safely warm for a number of hours. A consolidate of foods thermometers and know-how of derive temperatures should be requirements. Getting the raw ingredients to and from your remote area is an further inherent dilemma. You might have to spend in very rugged coolers and airtight safe-keeping bins created of high-impact plastic or stainless steel.

When selecting coolers and bins, look at how easy these are to clean, carry, and repair. With use, the gaskets close to the doors and lids wear out and need replacing. Some coolers could be bought with wheels, which is an benefit if they have to be hauled categorically far. Some have their lids on the best; other people, on the side. If coolers or bins will be stacked, side way is preferable. There's a conveyable alternative for each require. Now let's think about the costs included in cart and kiosk procedure. Costs for appropriate or custom-made carts differ agreeing to their sizes and the tool they contain. One of the most basic movable merchandising tool ranges in cost from 00 to 00 for a easy setup to market bottled drinks and packaged snacks.

(In some cases, food producers even contribute the carts free of fee of fee to restaurateurs who will market their wares.) Higher-end models can cost as significantly as ,000 or ,000 for virtual kitchens on wheels that may be related to others to form a larger unit. Nevertheless, sales can top million for lucrative cart areas. The promise of higher rewards with fairly small venture and small risk has led some national quick-service chains to "go mobile" surface the United States. In international cities wherever actual estate expenses have soared out of sight, a cart or kiosk is a low-cost choice that seems to work nicely.
