Thank you, Liz, I agree completely, let`s stay on topic, there`s plenty of other places to take your argument. And snipping off the unneeded text when replying...
I know the *opposite* of this has been done -- a rubber band motor that runs on heat differences. It was one of those Scientific American science projects from...

Responding to: "...how I could charge the icemaker with ammonia gas ..." Charging occurs at low pressure. The cool active absorber will draw in the ammonia...
A little research will show you how, but try accumulating urine in a tank, it will break down into where it produces ammonia in solution, by sealing a line to...
This is completely off-topic, but it tickled me that it showed up right after the discussion about rubber-band powered refrigerations. Liz The Pesky...

Hello! Could there be something wrong with a refrigerator, if the compressor runs every 20 minutes for 15 minutes? Temperature settings are all set at factory...
Many of us have Kill-A-Watt devices and can easily check and compare notes, but I think that manufacturers design their systems for the compressor to run much...
You need to add more and better insulation around the cold box. The MFG failed you there to save costs! The best is NASA's polyimide foam with R-values to R-60...
Running for 15 minutes out of 20 seems a bit excessive. A Standard Fridge (whatever that is) usually runs for about 8 hours a day or about a third of the time...
Hi, I'm new to the group. So far, the only experimenting with refrigeration I've done is freezing water in milk jugs, outside, and bringing them inside to a...

There are several variables, but that sounds about right. Make sure there is enuf air space behind and on the side, about 1" . Doug, ex refrigeration tech ...
How beneficial would it be to add rigid foam insulation to the outside of a refrigerator? Not covering the coils of course. Walking tall and stretching...
Just remember, not all refrigerators have external coils anymore. Our main refrigerator uses the side and back walls of the refrigerator as the heat sink for...
Some months ago I promised to get stats on our fairly new fridge and compare to published stats. Still not done. I had a Kill-A-Watt meter, and lent it out...
Yeh, and you have paid even more to run the compressor more often to remove the extra 38 watts of unwanted heat energy! Compact fluorescents have a shorter...

Was in the R/AC game for 30 yrs and found that these newer frost free refrigerators would run 70% of the time if the surrounding ambient air temp was 70 deg F....
First make sure the fridge has a separate condenser coil, and does not shed heat thru the sides and back of the box. Applying extra insulation will help it run...
