Introduction

  • 4x less efficient than compression-based refrigerators, but may be worth it for reasons of higher simplicity or where DC only is available - [1]
  • DOE publication evaluating refrigeration types - [2]
  • This is made up for by using a chest-style refrigerator. How many times more efficient is a top opening vs front opening fridge?
  • 10-20x - [3]
  • 10x - [4]
  • 12x + easy part list - [5]

OS Projects
