Why cold air comes from a refrigerator?
Refrigerator Must Open if Used. Despite the model or a technology incorporated of a particular refrigerator, user has to open its doors to store or take out the goods. When the door remains open, warm and moist ambient air will flow in and will mix with the cold air inside the refrigerator. Cold moist air is heavier than ambient air so it drops down from the refrigerator cabin easily while hot ambient air goes in. Since you feel the cool and can see only the due forming, you think that cold air comes out. But actually what happens is hot air jumps first into it and pushes the cold air out from the refrigerator cabin.Moisture transfer increases with the number of door openings. If the blower fan is turned on, the flow rate of cold air inside the refrigerator cabin will be accelerated, resulting an out flow to the atmosphere through its square area of the opening thus convective and radiative heat transfer increases. You loose 40% energy consumption of a refrigerator due to this.Now I have invented a cost effective solution for this burning problem during my MSc research. Use my invention-"Door Screening System" (Has 20 year patent) which can save an average of 14% energy consumption of any refrigerator model.Door Screen reduces the release of cold air from the refrigerator cabin area as well as entering of atmospheric warm air. This helps to maintain constant temperature inside the refrigerator / freezer cabins thus reduce the working frequency and duration of the compressor run time. Door Screening System reduces 7 to 13 kWhr of its energy consumption per month of an average domestic refrigerator.I'm looking for an investor to develop this.

How refrigerator use magnet?
Refrigerators use magnets on the door the keep the cold air in, Same with the freezer door.
Why is there a draft when a door is opened?
A closed door constitutes a physical barrier to the movement of air; an open door permits the movement of air.
Will the cold air rush out if you leave the refrigerator door open?
No, cold air does not rush out, but warm air outside the refrigerator does ruch in. There are a couple of reasons. First, cold is the absence of energy. Heat represents the presence of energy. Energy flows toward the lack of energy based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics, known as entropy. Second, at a molecular level, warmer air is more pressurized, i.e., the molecules are closer together. Colder air is less pressurized. This difference in pressure is what creates wind in meteorological terms. A high pressure system (warmer air) will move toward a low pressure system (colder air). For these reasons, when you open your refrigerator the warmer outside air rushes in.
If you stand in front of an open refrigerator do you get cold feet?
Yes. Cold air will sort of run from the fridge and on to the ground.
When your refrigerator door is opened?
Cold air. Cold air is heavier than warm air so when you open the fridge door the cold air 'drops' out of the fridge onto the floor.
Why cant opening the door of the refrigerator will cool the kitchen?
If you have noticed the warm air blowing from behind your refrigerator, that is the heat that was in the air that is inside your refrigerator. If you leave the door open the air around the refrigerator will briefly feel cold, but it will warm back up and the food in the refrigerator will go bad.
Who has less power consumption double door refrigerator or single door refrigerator for same capacity?
The double door will usually work out better. You will be able to only open the compartment that you need, keeping the air in for the rest of the refrigerator.
How much percent of cold air escapes from the refrigerator when you open it?
Approximately 7-10% of cold air escapes from the refrigerator each time you open it. The amount of cold air loss can vary based on factors like the duration of the door being open and the efficiency of the refrigerator seal.
Is temperature increase or decrease when the door open of a refrigerator?
The air temperature will increase since the cold air will drop out of the fridge and be replaced by warmer air.
What happens to the room temperature if the door of the refrigerator is kept open?
Assuming the room is completely sealed, with no air flow in or out, the room temperature would go up. According to my college chemistry professor, refrigerators can only cool small cubic areas of air. However the motor that is running the refrigerator produces measurably more heat, and due to the door being open would run continuously to try to keep the refrigerator cool. The small amount of cool air coming out of the refrigerator would be no match for the heating effect of the motor, thereby raising the room temperature.
Heat traped inside your homes?
that happens when you open the door and air comes in!
What will happen when refrigerators are opened?
Cold air in the refrigerator escapes and is replaced by warm humid room air. This usually triggers the refrigerator mechanism to cool that air, if you leave the door open too long you can waste lots of electricity.
Can a kitchen be cooled by leaving the door of the refrigerator open?
No, although the short-term effect would be for the refrigerator air / freezer air to mix with and cool the air in the room.The function of refrigerator is a heat exchanger; it removes heat from the inside of the fridge and pumps it to the outside of the fridge.If we open the refrigerator door, it will remove the heat from the air that mixes inside, but then will exchange the heat back into the kitchen. That's why the room can't be cooled for a long period. In fact, due to waste heat, the room could become warmer once the refrigerator contents have reached room temperature.
Why should you open a refrigerator as seldom as possible?
When you leave the door open, the cool air flows out, and the warm air flows in. This means that the fridge will have to work harder to keep the food at the same temperature.
Why is there ice building up in your refrigerator?
Air contains water vapor, this water freezes against the frozen parts of your fridge. This increases if you open the door often or if the door doesn't close completely.
Why cant a refrigerator be used as an air conditioner as the working principle of both is same?
A refrigerator is designed to pump heat from the inside of the refrigerator to the outside of the refrigerator. Since the refrigerator is inside a room (usually a kitchen) the heat does not escape from the house that it is in. If you examine your refrigerator you will find that there is a heat exchange unit, usually in the back (although it can be on the sides) which gets hot. So if you leave the door open, any cool air that escapes into the room is more than balanced by the heat coming from the heat exchange unit in the back. An air conditioner, in comparison, is designed to pump heat from the inside of a house to the outside of a house. If, however, you were able to mount your refrigerator inside a window frame (which would be extremely difficult) and make a reasonably air tight seal, you could then leave the refrigerator door open, and use the refrigerator as an air conditioner. It would be a lot easier to just get an actual air conditioner, however.
