Whirlpool and the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are collaborating to design a refrigerator that could cut energy use by up to 40 percent compared with current models. The goal of the cooperative research and development agreement is to make a next-generation household refrigerator more energy efficient by using Wisemotion, an innovative linear compressor manufactured by Embraco, and other new technologies and materials. The team will redesign a refrigerator to incorporate the linear compressor, which reduces energy losses by continuously matching the compressor pumping rate to the refrigerator’s cooling requirements. Associated components will provide additional efficiency gains.
this is a good news, the new technology fridge will cut the energy used by 40 percent.
