METHOD OF INCREASING ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF REFRIGERATORS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F25B1/00 

FIELD: satisfaction of human life necessities.

SUBSTANCE: part of heat flow from the surface of condenser is utilized by converting thermal energy into electrical energy that can be accumulated in the battery and used to power the additional blower of condenser surface, or to ensure the operation of refrigerator in case of an emergency power failure, or to ensure the operation of additional devices that increase comfort level of refrigerator. To convert thermal energy into electrical, multilayer film thermocouples can be used which are attached to the surface of condenser by means of foil plate, or foil plate can be a substrate on which multilayer film thermocouples are produced by method of sputtering thin thermocouple films.

EFFECT: providing the prospect of improving the design of refrigerators and creating new models of refrigerators with increased efficiency and a higher level of comfort.
