Refrigeration can be carried out using devices known as refrigerators, refrigerators or refrigerators.
Refrigeration is the action and effect of refrigerating . This verb refers to making a room, hall, or something else colder through artificial means . By extension, refrigeration means cooling different foods or products in special chambers for their preservation . Furthermore, the term is linked to the snack , that food that is taken to restore strength.
Refrigeration, from the Latin refrigeratĭo , consists of extracting thermal energy from a body to reduce its temperature . Due to thermodynamic properties, said energy is transferred to another body. It should be noted that cold itself does not exist, but rather temperature is a reflection of the amount of energy that a body has.
Food, vaccines and different medical products require an adequate refrigeration system to be preserved . Otherwise, they could cause serious damage to the health of the population . For example: raw meat should be stored in refrigerators or refrigerators; otherwise it rots.
Cooling devices
It is important to underline the fact that there are various types of cooling devices. Thus, for example, we find the so-called refrigeration equipment , which is the name under which both refrigerators and cold rooms would be classified. The way they work is through a process by which what they do is transfer cold to a hot source.
This is how the refrigerators we have at home work, that is, the refrigerators we have in our kitchens and that we use to keep food at a low temperature that prevents it from spoiling or losing all its properties. However, food companies also have cold rooms to fulfill that same function.
In the same way, it is also important to talk about another device that is considered refrigeration equipment. This becomes a fundamental piece since it is responsible for controlling the temperature of a place: the thermostat . In air conditioners it is the element thanks to which we can choose the degrees we want it to be in any room in which we have installed a device of said type.
It should be noted that, in recent decades, most countries agreed to stop using refrigerants that harm nature and damage the ozone layer.
Air conditioning makes it possible to cool an environment.
The air conditioning
The action of adjusting the conditions of temperature, humidity and cleanliness of the air inside a building is known as air conditioning , which includes both cooling and heating (the process to raise the temperature).
Air conditioners or air conditioners are the most used devices to cool an environment during the summer season.
In addition to all of the above, we cannot ignore the existence of a technique known as liquid cooling . Within the field of computing, the same procedure is carried out, which consists of the use of fans or heat sinks with the clear objective that any computer does not overheat and suffer damage of various types.
