Integrated Fridge Freezers

In your dream kitchen, fridge freezers that are integrated serve as a silent way of keeping your food fresh. Flexible shelves and useful features such as wine racks give you the illusion of having a huge storage space.

Check for the holiday mode, which shuts off your freezer, while leaving the fridge running. Also look for the Super-cool option that reduces the temperature rapidly to help you keep food frozen.

Space Saving

Refrigerators with integrated freezers are generally a bit smaller than freestanding models, meaning they require less space in your kitchen. Depending on the size that you choose, frydge they can store up 350 litres of storage that is enough for 19 bags of food. You can also find them in different heights, from'midi' models to tall 178cm models. Certain models feature an automatic water dispenser which is connected to your mains, so you can have cold water whenever you need it.

Check out other helpful features like HarvestFresh Salad Drawers and NeoFrost Technology which keeps the freezer at a lower temperature, reducing energy bills and reducing unpleasant smells. A Holiday Mode is also useful if you are going away for a few weeks and want your frozen food to be secure and safe. You can also find models with a glass lid, which is easy to clean and keeps the interior at a higher level of cleanliness.

Convenience

Integrated freezers are an excellent option for those who prefer to make use of less space in the kitchen. They combine a refrigerator as well as a freezer into one. They are a perfect fit in kitchen cabinets to create a seamless look. An integrated freezer is an ideal option for those who want to save money on energy bills, as they are more efficient than freestanding models.

Keep your freezer stocked to maximize efficiency. When you open your refrigerator the cold air escapes and warm air is pushed into the freezer. This uses a lot of electricity. Keep your freezer full to ensure that the cold air stays inside and the warm air will be absorbent by the items. This will lower the energy consumption. This can be achieved by moving your food items to the front and side of the freezer, and then stuffing the empty spaces with newspaper or shipping peanuts (available in most supermarkets).

Another good way to reduce your energy costs is by determining which items you use most frequently and placing those in the easiest access position. This will make them easier to reach, meaning you won't need to move items around in your freezer as often, which could cause freezer burn.

Many of the latest fridges and freezers come with the 'fast chill' feature and a 'fast freeze' feature which allows you to quickly bring your fresh purchases to the optimum temperature. This is especially useful when you have a huge grocery delivery to unload and you need to bring the chilled or frozen products to the right temperature quickly.

Integrated Refrigerator Freezers can be installed in either the 'fixed' or'sliding' model depending on how the appliance is installed to the cabinet as well as the fridge housing cabinet. The main difference is that sliding integrated fridge freezers can be moved if you decide to make changes to your home. Fixed fridge freezers can't be removed since they are built into the cabinet and the fridge door is fixed directly to the cabinet's front.

Energy Efficiency

The newer models of fridge freezers with integrated refrigerators are more efficient in terms of energy efficiency and are able to cool faster. This is both good for the environment as well as your energy bill. Pick from low-mid-height models that measure around 130cm in height or extra-tall freezers that measure 170-180cm high.

Many people are rushing to purchase refrigerators that have been rated as energy efficient this trend has seen integrated freezers sporting green labels climb up the sales charts. Energy efficiency is an essential aspect for appliances in the home because they consume a significant amount of energy and operate 24/7/365. Refrigerators and freezers are responsible for an important portion of household electricity bills so switching to one that is more energy efficient will save money on your energy bill.

The energy rating on the appliance is important and the highest rating is A+++ or A. Companies are now required by law to display their energy rating on their websites to allow customers to compare ratings when shopping. However, we found that few companies had any alternatives that were more than A on their websites.

Spiral freezers which are not fully integrated into the refrigeration and process control system could cause significant energy consumption. The parameters of the spiral freezer are not regularly updated when changes to the product happen. This leads to warm products that fail quality tests. This is typically due to temporary setpoints changes made in response to production issues, which are later forgotten, leading to an unintentional loss of products and energy waste. Integrating the spiral control system with the refrigeration systems and process systems allows for the system to automatically update parameters based on the product being manufactured. This saves energy and reduces the amount of waste. VaCom Technologies can help plants to achieve this by working with them to create the parameters for each product range and then connecting the spiral freezer controls with the plant control systems.
