Silent refrigerators for studio apartments

Studio apartments are characterized by the absence of partitions separating the space, and often have a small area. For a comfortable stay in such premises, it is necessary to carefully consider the design down to the smallest detail. Otherwise, the presence of even the most ordinary refrigerator can turn life into a real nightmare.

Modern refrigerators have a number of characteristics that ensure uninterrupted operation of the unit, easy operation, and quality. One of the most important characteristics is the noise level. The compressor of a conventional refrigerator operates on average with a noise level of 40 to 42 dB. While the noise may be invisible during the daytime, audibility is good at night. The latest technology can reduce the noise level by 10 dB.

The presence of an inverter compressor contributes to uniform power control. During the operation of the unit, the load is moderate. This ensures quietness and saves energy consumption. Such a compressor is more durable.

There are various defrost systems.

• With the manual option, you have to defrost the refrigerator yourself.

• With a drip system, the outflow of liquid occurs through special compartments, from where it enters a special container. The compressor is located at the back. Works with small settings, ensuring constant temperature. However, there is no uniformity in cooling. This compressor is quieter.

• The modern No Frost technology ensures constant circulation of cold air. This prevents ice build-up. However, a noticeable sound is generated during operation.

It should be noted that the presence of two compressors provides a reduction in operating noise. This is due to their frequent inclusion and the alternating work of each.

A silent refrigerator for a studio apartment is a valuable purchase, since it provides the opportunity for a good rest and does not distract from other activities.

The loud sound when the refrigerator is operating can be influenced by many factors, eliminating which can significantly reduce the noise level. However, it should be noted that it will not be possible to completely make refrigeration equipment silent.

There are a number of steps you can take to prevent your refrigerator from being audible.

• Remove uneven surfaces that the technique comes into contact with.

• Put food in one chamber.

• Install noise insulation inside the refrigerator compartment.

• Put the mastic on the compressor, outside fan.

• Make room around the condenser so that it can cool down and not put additional stress on the compressor. If possible, it is recommended to place the refrigerator at a short distance from the wall, in a timely manner to remove dust from the rear surface.

• At least 5 hours must elapse between installation and switching on of the unit. Otherwise, uneven shaking of the refrigerant will put additional stress on the parts, resulting in audible sounds.

Loud operation can be caused by various problems, for example:

• violation in fixing the compressor due to worn out materials or loose mechanisms;

• fan malfunction in the presence of the No Frost system;

• malfunctions in the engine;

• clogged filters;

• excessive amount of freon agent;

• power outages.

Correcting faults in a timely manner will also help reduce noise.

When choosing silent kitchen appliances, you must be guided by a number of criteria.

• Type and number of compressors.

• Noise level. The technical specifications indicate the noise parameters in dB. The lower they are, the better.

• Soundproofing.

• Dimensions.

• Defrost system type.

The presence of one or another indicator of technical characteristics can be decisive when choosing a refrigerator. In this case, for a studio apartment, the noiselessness of the operation of equipment is one of the important criteria.

Modern technologies make it possible to create unique models that can satisfy the needs of even the most demanding customer. In such a situation, it is difficult to determine a rating where the best specimen for a small room will be indicated. However, taking into account the specific situation, you can always find the optimal solution.

• Bosch NatureCool KGV39XK2AR. A feature of the innovative technology is the presence of a system that ensures the freshness of products for a long time. The freezer has good air tightness, which prevents heat from penetrating inside.

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment is the same around the entire perimeter. This is monitored using special sensors. In the event of the slightest violations, they are immediately eliminated.

Energy consumption corresponds to the "A +" indicator, which indicates the efficiency of the unit. And you can also note the good capacity of the refrigerator with a small size.

• Gorenje R 6192LX. The case of the model is made of durable stainless steel. The unit is equipped with an electronic type of control with an open door warning. The digital display is installed on the door. There is a freshness zone in the refrigerator compartment.

In terms of energy consumption, the refrigerator belongs to class "A". The noise level corresponds to 38 dB. The dimensions of the unit are 60x64x185 cm.

• Bosch KGV36XW21R. The universal modern model is equipped with temperature sensors that monitor the temperature readings around the entire perimeter of the refrigerating chamber. The model has an electronic control type.

Of the additional functions, we can note the presence of a freshness zone, in which the required humidity level is maintained. LED backlighting provides even illumination.

The energy consumption indicator corresponds to "A +". The noise level corresponds to 38 dB. The dimensions of the unit are 60x65x185 cm.

• Haier C2F637CFMV. The model is distinguished by the high quality of the facade coating. Enamelled stainless steel has strength and durability. There are practically no touch stains on the smooth surface.

Thanks to the touch display on the refrigerator door, you can easily change the temperature, or turn on the quick freezing system.

The refrigerator has a conventional compressor. The noise level reaches 42 dB, which is quite noticeable for a small space. The dimensions of the refrigerator are 67.2x59.5x199.8 cm.

• LG GA-B459SBDZ. The innovative Korean model deserves special attention. The refrigerator compartment has an opening for cold air in the ceiling. This allows you to protect food from heat, as well as maintain constant temperature indicators.

The presence of an inverter compressor ensures quiet operation. It should be noted that the compressor is digitally controlled.The unit is characterized by a high service life.

Power consumption corresponds to the "A ++" indicator. The equipment is equipped with a remote control function via a mobile application.

There are two zones of freshness in the refrigerator at the same time. This allows you to store a variety of foods, such as meat and vegetables, in ideal conditions.

The noise level corresponds to 36 dB. Dimensions are 68.4x59.5.185 cm. Quiet refrigerator, ideal for a small studio apartment.

• Samsung RB34N5000EF. The Korean model is also interesting for the presence of modern additional features. The inner walls of the refrigerating chamber are made of high-quality hermetic material, which allows you to increase the internal volume without compromising other functions.

The high performance of the equipment makes it possible to freeze up to 12 kg of products in 24 hours. This consumes relatively little energy.

Equipped with an inverter compressor, it achieves a noise level of 37 dB. The dimensions of the equipment are 67.3x59.5x192 cm.

Embedded refrigerators have both pros and cons. The positive aspects can be safely attributed to the presence of additional sound, as well as thermal insulation due to decorative panels. And also you do not need to think about how the model will be combined with the overall interior.

A significant drawback is only the complexity when changing location, as well as the high cost.

Among the quiet models for a small studio, several more models can be distinguished.
