Why should you use a gas fridge in SA?
Gas fridges are inherently known for their reliability, especially during times when there is no electricity, whether it is during an emergency or scheduled power cuts, gas fridges ensure that you can keep your food supplies and medications at cold temperatures.
Gas fridges use ammonia as a coolant and there are only five main parts in a gas fridge. The first part is the generator that produces the ammonia gas, the second is the separator. The separator allows for ammonia gas to be drawn from the water. Next, the condenser allows hot ammonia gas to condense in the latter part and this is sent to the evaporator unit.
This unit creates vapor that is used to create cold temperatures in the refrigeration unit. The initial cost involved with buying a gas fridge may be higher than an electrical fridge, or any other type of fridge, but when comparing a gas fridge to other types, it will be more beneficial in the long-term.
