description

The respective utilisation of heat or cold is determined by the desired purpose. In the refrigerator, the evaporator in the cold room provides the cold. The heat extracted from the food is transferred to the kitchen via the condenser at the rear. In the case of the heat pump, the evaporator does not extract the heat from the food, but from the garden, the ground or the water, which is released into the home via the condenser located in the house.
