fridge• A refrigerator (colloquially fridge) is a common

household appliance that consists of a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump(mechanical, electronic, or chemical) that transfers heat from the inside of the fridge to its external environment so that the inside of the fridge is cooled to a temperature below the ambient temperature of the room.

history

• Artificial refrigeration began in the mid-1750s, and developed in the early 1800s.

• In 1834, the first working vapor-compression refrigeration system was built. • The first commercial ice-making machine was invented in 1854.• In 1913, refrigerators for home use were invented.• In 1923 Frigidaire introduced the first self-contained unit. • The introduction of Freon in the 1920s expanded the refrigerator market

during the 1930s. Home freezers as separate compartments (larger than necessary just for ice cubes) were introduced in 1940. Frozen foods, previously a luxury item, became commonplace.

1950• Fridges in the 1950s got a lot

fancier.• They were aimed at the middle

classes or ‘slave-free households’. • Marketed towards housewives,
