Fridge mini bar

Refrigerator for bottles with drinks is called a mini-bar. In terms of its functions, it does not differ from a large refrigerator, but is designed to accommodate the placement inside bottles, cans and decanters, rather than pots and containers.

The difference between a bar cooler and a large one is not only in size, but also in the cooler. A small cooling unit does not work on freon, but on ammonia or isobutane. This reduces the noise level of the device. A person can sleep and not hear how the mini-bar works. The level of ammonia as a refrigerant is negligible, which does not affect human health.

These are thermoelectric models.

The mini-bar can be built-in freezer of different configurations from simple (only the preparation of ice cubes) to multifunctional with different temperature control (production of ice, ice chips and ice water).

Small refrigerators can be built in, regular and mobile.

• Embedded models are installed in the living room cabinets, in the bedside tables under the table. They are invisible and fit into the overall design concept of the room.
• Conventional refrigerators look like reduced copies of kitchen, come in different colors and designs, including those with glass doors. Usually they are installed in kitchens, so as not to spoil the appearance of the room.
• Mobile refrigerators the wheels often look like bedside tables, in which not only a cooling chamber can be mounted, but also a safe. Usually used in hotels and easily move from place to place.

Wine coolers are a separate category. They have a number of specific requirements:

• the door of the refrigerator for wine must be deaf or frosted dark glass, which delays ultraviolet rays, badly affecting the taste of wine;
• the temperature in the refrigerator should not lower below +8 degrees. For many wines, even this temperature will seem too low, so in a good wine cooler there are several compartments with different temperatures;
• humidity in the refrigerator should be maintained at 50-70%, so that the cork does not dry up, the air does not get into the bottle and does not allow the wine to turn sour. Humidity is maintained by a drip humidification system. Premium models are equipped with lava stones, which absorb moisture, if they emit a lot of it, if not enough;
• refrigerators must be stable fluctuations lead to precipitation of wine.
