The Fridge

A fridge, or refrigerator, is an appliance that keeps food and drinks cold to slow bacteria growth and preserve freshness. It works by removing heat from its interior through a refrigeration cycle involving a coolant, a compressor, and coils. As the coolant absorbs heat inside the fridge, it releases it outside, maintaining a low temperature. This consistent cooling helps prevent spoilage, extend the shelf life of perishable items, and organize food storage efficiently. Modern refrigerators often include sections like a freezer for frozen items, adjustable shelves, and energy-efficient features for optimal convenience and performance.
