Gas Fridge shares how propane refrigerators work with no moving parts

How does a propane fridge work? Gas Fridge would like to describe how propane refrigerators work - with no moving parts!

First the heat
Electric refrigerators use a coolant to keep the interior cold. In contrast, a propane fridge relies on simple chemical reactions. The process of propane refrigeration begins with a flame fed by a propane tank, which is why the appliance is called a propane fridge.

Every propane fridge contains a sealed network of tubes and chambers which hold water, ammonia and hydrogen gas. When a propane flame heats a chamber holding a solution of water and ammonia, the liquid begins to boil. Then the ammonia gas rises to another chamber, the condenser. In the condenser, the ammonia cools back into a liquid. This liquid then flows to the evaporator, where it mixes with hydrogen gas.

Then the cooling
 When ammonia meets the hydrogen gas, the chemical reaction between the two absorbs heat. In that way, the propane fridge produces its cooling action. Heat is pulled from the interior of the refrigerator into the ammonia-hydrogen mix. As heat is absorbed, the ammonia becomes a gas once again. The ammonia and hydrogen gases then combine with water. The ammonia and water form a solution yet again. That process releases the hydrogen gas to rise back to the evaporator. The process then starts all over again and is repeated continuously – all with no moving parts!

Among the many benefits of propane refrigerators, the fact that it has no moving parts means quiet operation and no mechanical issues. We proudly carry EZ Freeze gas refrigerators.

Gas Fridge offers maintenance tips for gas refrigerators

A gas refrigerator is an important investment. As with any investment, there are maintenance requirements to get the most out of your gas appliance. Gas Fridge suggests these maintenance tips to increase the longevity of your gas refrigerator.

Proper cleanliness is important, especially on the inside of the refrigerator. A recommended and convenient time for cleaning your refrigerator is during the regular maintenance or right after defrosting.

To clean the inside:

• Use a soft cloth
• Use a mild soap and warm water solution
• Rinse the inside with a baking soda and warm water mixture of approximately 1-2 tbsp. to 1 qt. warm water.
• Wipe dry with a soft cloth
• NEVER use a coarse cloth for cleaning

For the outside:

• Clean the outside with the same instructions and products shown above for the inside
• Waxing the outside of the refrigerator box may prevent against minor scratches and add to rust protection
• Use a standard auto wax on the painted metal surfaces only. DO NOT use on the plastic handles or rubber gasket
• Always check the gasket surfaces for debris as this can cause a cold air leak from the interior.

Cleaning the absorption cooling unit will help with the unit’s overall efficiency. This should be done every three months. Simply use a large soft bristle brush and clean the dust and lint from the condenser fins (at rear top of cooling unit) and the coil pipes (at the bottom) .

Keep the area around and under the refrigerator clean. This will help prevent debris from being sucked into the burner tube. This is actually the most common problem with propane powered refrigerators not operating correctly. This should be done every three months.

A gas refrigerator is an important investment. The maintenance tips above will help to preserve your investment and keep your gas refrigerator operating properly.
