The differences between the cooling cousins are subtle and many people think that they can do each other\u2019s jobs. The truth is they can\u2019t, as we\u2019ll explain below. It\u2019s important not to try and use either of these appliances for jobs they are not cut out to do. If you try, you may get a degree of success, but the units are likely to be overworked and prone to excess energy use. Ultimately, the units will fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refrigeration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people understand that a fridge operates through the compression of coolant chemicals within the pipework, held in the fridge\u2019s enclosed area. The temperature of the metal pipework or flat surface drops as the liquid inside turns to a gas and the air around it cools down. The compressor then does the job of increasing pressure and temperature and the gas returns to a liquid. The whole process then starts another cycle and continues to do so, lowering the temperature further with every cycle. The unit is eventually capable of freezing items, taking temperatures down to a thermostatically controlled level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fridges and freezers for commercial use tend to be very similar and many businesses with large industrial cold rooms for food storage areas tend to have banks of units set at different low temperatures to cover all foodstuffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
