Single Cooling -VS- Twin Cooling Refrigerator

While the technology behind twin cooling refrigerators is not new, the affordability of this technology is. Now that this feature is somewhat common, here is why you should buy a refrigerator with a TWIN COOLING SYSTEM.

What does Twin Cooling Mean?

Twin Cooling:听One compressor connects to two separate evaporator systems. One closed system for cooling the refrigerator, and another closed system for cooling the freezer.

Why does this matter?
Benefits:
1. 听To maintain Ideal humidity (think fresh food): The ideal humidity level for your refrigerator is 70%, and you want as little humidity in the freezer as possible. Higher humidity in the refrigerator will keep your vegetables fresh for a longer amount of time. On the flip side, little to no humidity in the freezer section will prevent freezer burn and ice crystal formation.

2. To prevent odor transfer: In a traditional single cooling system, air travels between the refrigerator and the freezer section, and back again. If you have fish, onions or anything else that has a strong odor in the refrigerator, this odor will transfer to the items stored in the freezer. You might think that the items in the freezer are air tight, but you would be surprised how odors and smells can permeate packaging.

3. To save Energy: Not only are the compressors that are used in these newer refrigerators more efficient, but the twin cooling process also helps save energy. Twin cooling lets the compressor cool only the section that needs cooling. If you rarely open the freezer, but open the refrigerator often, then the freezer doesn’t need to be cooled as often to maintain the proper temperature.

How to Know if a Refrigerator has this technology:
Every brand has a different name for this twin cooling technology, but many brands do not employ this technology. Some brands take it a step further with dual compressors as well.

A visit to Eastbank will provide an in depth comparison of brands and features.

Air Purification is another new feature you see more and more today. Several brands have perfected this technology to filter ethylene and methane gases, produced by fruits and vegetables. Removing these gases can also improve freshness and longevity.
