The Best supermarket freezer
we all know and love today are the culmination of over one and a half
centuries of development. It was in 1857, that an Australian named James
Harrison made the first ice making machine as well as a refrigeration
system. His invention was used in brewing and meat packing industries in
the region of Victoria. Two years later a Frenchman named Ferdinand
Carre came up with another design in 1859. Earlier designs had used air
as a coolant, but this new method had rapidly expanding ammonia instead.

fridges were invented by Baltzar von Platen and Carl Munters in 1922 in
Stockholm. They were studying together in the Royal Institute of
Technology when they came up with the idea which was then taken
worldwide by Electrolux. The first patent for a compact refrigerator was
Carl von Linde. Before Von Linde came up with the practical model
refrigerators were a two room affair with mechanical parts. The
compressor and motor in a basement or a room next door to the kitchen
where the cold box would be store food.
Apart from the size of these Wholesale supermarket chiller,
there were other reasons why it was not practical to have one
installed. The cost was astronomical and far beyond the reach of an
average household. With the idea that preserving your food would save
money on wastage it didn't make sense to make the investment. Really,
only commercial enterprises that had them and they were used to store
food before going to market.
It wasn't until 1927 that the use of
the smaller units became popular. General Electric made a sulfur
dioxide based refrigerator and actually produced over a million for the
general public. With this model the public were finally able to
practically refrigerate food in the house. There are still working
models around but because of the danger that comes with sulfur dioxide
it's illegal to refill them if they break down.
By the thirties, 60% of Competitive price display refrigerator
had a home refrigeration unit but it was in the seventies before the
same happened across Europe. Now this style of the American fridge
freezers has been used around the world. The side by side design is
instantly recognizable as many come with an ice dispenser at the front.
It was in the forties that separate freezers were popularized but mass
production was not immediate. It was after the end of world war two that
they were in more and more households. The peoples uptake on the
separate deep freeze system was helped by advances in defrosting which
was now automatic.
These days, supermarket refrigerator
are in every household and they come small enough to just chill a pack
of beers. Some that are in development will even monitor what you take
out and use and will create your shopping list. The list can then be
activated and the food ordered and delivered from your local
supermarket. All these things in the pipeline and new innovations
becoming available every day so the next generation of refrigerators
will be more that just cold food storage.
