In ancient times, people used natural factors, such as ice or dissolved in water,. It is known that the emperor of ancient Rome Nero did not spare any means for the purchase of ice – ice was extracted for him from mountain glaciers. A little later, the fluid evaporation method was used to cool. Thousands of years have used such methods, but in the twentieth century the situation has changed.
The household refrigerator in his modern sense was born in 1910 in America. This device was very bulky – its size was five times higher than the volume of the cooling chamber. Wood was used to make a refrigerator.
Interestingly, in the USSR, the invention of the refrigerator was perceived without enthusiasm. Stalin even forbade some time to conduct work to create a Soviet counterpart, believing that in a country where there is a lot of snow, a refrigerator is a bourgeois luxury. But, as you know, later the opinion of the Soviet leadership has changed, and since the 1930s the refrigerators began to be released in the Soviet Union.
Today, these household appliances are produced under many brands and their assortment is extremely wide. So anyone can choose a refrigerator for themselves not only by technical characteristics, but also in size, color, design, etc. D.
