What is the difference between direct cooling type and fan type refrigerators?

Hello!

Most people probably think of a refrigerator as one of the first home appliances they consider purchasing when starting a new life.


If you have lived at home for a long time and are accustomed to a large refrigerator with refrigerator, freezer, and vegetable compartment,
If you live alone, you might be wondering what kind of refrigerator to choose .

Also, while choosing a refrigerator,
"How much capacity should I choose if I don't cook much?"
“I wonder what the direct cooling type and fan type are written in the refrigerator description.”
I think many people have questions like this.

Therefore, this time, we will tell you how to choose a refrigerator for single users wisely, with the theme of " What are direct cooling type and fan type refrigerators? "

What size refrigerator is suitable for living alone?

The ``Trefac Used Home Appliance Set'' mainly has home appliances that are the perfect size for living alone.
Refrigerators are available in two sizes to suit your lifestyle!

  • Typical size for living alone: ​​100~160L
  • Make living alone more compact: 80~120L

A 100~160L refrigerator is perfect for people who like cooking or who want to try cooking for themselves.
Recommended for people who often have people over.
Even if your storage containers are full of leftovers or leftovers, you can store them with plenty of room .

On the other hand, an 80-120L refrigerator is perfect for minimalist-minded people who don't stock up much.
Also, if you are not good at cooking for yourself, or if you live near a downtown area or often eat out for entertainment, this smaller size may not be a problem.

What is the difference between direct cooling type and fan type?

Because home appliances are a big purchase,
There are many people who carefully examine home appliance manufacturers' homepages and review sites by comparing them.

Some of you may be wondering, " What do direct cooling type and fan type mean?"

These words are related to the mechanism (cooling method) that cools the refrigerator.

The direct cooling type has a cooler installed inside the refrigerator to cool it.
Cooling is achieved by spreading the cold air produced by the cooler directly into the refrigerator .

In the fan type , the cooler is located outside the refrigerator, and the cool air produced by the cooler is
It is cooled by blowing air into the refrigerator using a fan . Also known as "intercooled type".

Direct cooling type : A cooling method that is common in refrigerators for single-person households and mini-freezers.
Because of its high cooling capacity , it is prone to frost and requires periodic defrosting.
Electricity costs and product prices are lower than fan-type models, and the operating noise is also quiet , so it is recommended for people who want to save money or who live in a one-room apartment with a small footprint.
Most 80-120L refrigerators are of this type.

Fan type : Mainly used in large family refrigerators,
There are also models that are used in refrigerators for people living alone.
The heater inside the refrigerator automatically defrosts the refrigerator .
It is popular among people who find defrosting a hassle.
On the other hand, the main unit price is higher than the direct cooling type ,
The disadvantage is that the structure is complicated and the body size is large.


If you have trouble defrosting your refrigerator, we recommend a fan-type model.
However, the fan makes noise, so be careful if you are sensitive to noise or plan to install it near your bedroom.

The "direct cooling type", which requires defrosting, has little temperature change because there is no heater.
This makes it easier to keep food fresh. Moreover, the electricity bill is low,
It is suitable for people who want to eat a healthy diet while saving money.
