Kidding!

The food you burn for energy has a name: your metabolism. Eating more doesn't increase your metabolism. It just makes you fat. Your body sees the surplus of fuel available and adds extra tanks automatically!

Sounds like it would! You already understand you can't remove heat. That's like 'removing' river current.

These refrigerators are rather clever devices that make use of a technique first developed by Dr. Faraday while he was playing around with ammonia. He found that when liquid ammonia combines with hydrogen, an endothermic chemical reaction takes place that also has a side effect of bring the ammonia into vapor. This is because combining ammonia with hydrogen forces vaporization, and the heat of vaporization is what cools the gas.

This refrigerator has no compressor, no fixed orifice, and uses more than one cooling medium. They're quiet and can run anywhere propane is available. They do need to be kept level however (which is why you level a trailer or motorhome containing one of these things). These are also called 'absorption' refrigerators.

In a tank, you have three ingredients: ammonia, hydrogen gas, and water. The liquid portions (water and ammonia) are fed into a tube that is heated (by propane in this case). An inner tube from the tank is inside an outer tube. It's built just like a coffee percolator.

As the material is heated, ammonia will flash into vapor before the water does. The result is that ammonia gas comes out the top of the tube, while water percolates out, separating the water from the ammonia. The water drains to the bottom of the outer tube, and up another tube (slightly lower than the top of the percolating tube) that feeds into the middle of what are called 'absorption coils'.

In this way ammonia and water are separated and ammonia gas moves to the top of the device. This is the compression portion of the device.

The ammonia gas then enters the condenser coil. Most of the heated ammonia cools back to more or less room temperature here. Here it becomes a liquid again.

But the chamber is also filled with hydrogen gas rising from below. This again vaporizes the ammonia, and the heat of vaporization makes the ammonia vapor cold. This is the expansion portion of the device. It is this cold ammonia that is sent to the refrigerator box coils, or absorption coils.

As it drops down to the insertion point of the water, the vapor can condense out again and mix with the water. The water becomes more and more saturated with ammonia is it drops and cools, until everything returns to the tank where it started.

The cold section is where the ammonia meets up with the hydrogen gas.

The hot section is what drives the ammonia and water upward, and dries the ammonia so it can react with the hydrogen (by using the 'percolator'). That percolator, BTW, is the gurgling sound you hear when these things are running.

Does this help?

True.

The atmosphere is not a source of heat. It is generally colder than our bodies. You can't make heat flow backwards.

Numbness is not warmth. All you are feeling is the cold receptors in your skin shutting down because they are too cold to function well. This is the beginning of the onset of frostbite. Get out of the cold at once!
James___ wrote:

WRONG. Blood flow is INCREASED. Blood is a good medium to move thermal energy from the core of the body to the extremities. That's why wetting your arms and head are so effective on a hot day.

Vaporized ammonia, I'd have never guessed that! Seriously, that's pretty "cool" stuff. Thanks!

Yeah, the appliance guy didn't much like me telling him you can't remove heat. It's amazing how often...it's everywhere...the misuse of the word heat.

Heat is the flow of thermal energy. You cannot remove the flow. Heat flows from hot to cold... always. Fridge is warm, freon cold. Fridge warmth is flowing to the cold freon trying to achieve equalibrium. It is removing warmth, not heat.

Awe shit, I ain't getting done with work today! Now I've got more questions.

With the poor air flow in the back of a fridge, and air being a poor coupling, why does a fridge not need a fan on the condenser coils? I would think that would increase efficiency significantly.

I have worked on window unit air conditioners that actually use a condenser coil fan that picks up water from the evaporator coil drain pan and splashes the water on the condenser coils to increase efficiency.

How can I fridge / freezer work so well without a fan and barely any air flow?

...@All,
.This is where the disinformation that GasGuzzler and itn are spreading comes into play. The refrigerator is a "bound" system. When heat is removed from that system it becomes heat in our atmosphere. The insulation that a refrigerator uses helps it to become it's own system.

..And as I mentioned, I'll explain in a day or 2 how a propane refrigerant system removes heat. This has to do with "how" something removes heat from one system and moves it to a different (our atmosphere) system.

..And simply put everyone, if heat can't be moved then a refrigerator can't be cooled. Simple logic in it's proper context.

James, not a huge fan of Wikipedia, but I believe they have this pretty close to correct.. I don't like how it's worded, but it is basically correct.

In thermodynamics, heat means energy which is moved between two things when one of them is hotter than the other. Adding heat to something increases its temperature, but heat is not the same as temperature. The temperature of an object is a measure of the average speed of the moving particles in it..

You disagree with this?

Imagine this.....
Take a Rubik's Cube size block of steel and chill it to 49 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Place it in a large Machine Shed that has been chilled to 50 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Guess what? There will be heat! The block with transfer energy until equalibrium has been reached. The the air in the machine shed has been heated, but the temp did not measurably rise Everything is still freezing cold, but heat still happened.

You continue to associate heat with hot, and that is where you are incorrect. He can make something hot, but hot is a relative term, and heat is not. Heat just is and always does the same thing.

Heat is the movement or transfer thermal energy and always hot to cold....or cold to colder if you prefer.

I've always maintained what Boltzmann said and that's
KE = 1/2mv^2 = 3/2kT

...Let's see, same thing to me because KE = 3/2kT describes both of them the same way. Explain how ammonia is compressed in a propane refrigerator. Neither you nor itn have done that yet. I'm still waiting.

..You know what's funny GasGuzzler, you're only coming after me because I took the time to learn something. What people like you and itn miss is that we can improve what we're doing and possibly create more jobs at the same time. One constant I have been told in the U.S. (I'm an American) is that the U.S. is a capitalist country and that's all anyone needs to know. The environment and the quality of life in the U.S. doesn't matter because being an American means that all people should care about is making money.
..And I think this will create problems because the National Debt already exceeds the GNP. That means in the near future (another decade?) that austerity measures will be necessary. But Americans don't care about something like that because then they'd have to consider getting by with less and that's not what America is about.


..@All,
I thought I'd add this;
..KE = 1/2mv^2 = 3/2k300n - 3/2k5n = 3/2k295 and 3/2k5n. 3/2k5n is the heat given off or removed. itn and GasGuzzler maintain that heat can not be either moved or removed. In making such a statement they are saying that the refrigerator in question is a part of the system which is our atmosphere. Refrigerators are insulated to reduce the ability of heat to be transferred from the atmosphere to the inside of the refrigerator. So what point are they trying to make when they are looking at is not possible to be cooled. I think any engineer would say that heat can be removed from a refrigerator because of how long it can stay cool because of it's insulation.

Heat IS movement.

If heat is absent from a cooling system, it is not cooling. It is at equilibrium.

Warmth can be moved. That's how a house A/C works, for example. It moves warmth from inside to the house to outside.

Now I'm really going to fry your brain...
Warmth can be removed...by heat


Also....heat will happen regardless of insulation.

..GasGuzzler,
.The technical definition of heat is KE = 3/2kT * volume

Warmth ;
Definition of warmth
1 : the quality or state of being warm in temperature

..I know warmth can be changed. That is what happens when heat is removed until the sensation of being warm changes to being cool.

...I thought I'd show a few technical points since it's 5:30 am and I'm up.
..When a molecule conserves energy then it's KE is "heat content".
.What is "heat content" ? It's electromagnetic radiation.
.When "heat content" is not conserved then it is released. It's this release
that is considered "flow". In this form it is either background electromagnetic radiation
which is also known as "white noise" or static. It can also be E = hv. In this form
it's a specific frequency which is still electromagnetic radiation.
..With a refrigerator, because it is insulated it can be considered as it's own system. This
allows the work required to "cool" it's volume relative to the flow of heat through it's insulation.
..With a propane refrigerator they forgot the hydrogen.
https://binged.it/2AYOKzR
https://binged.it/2B1xw4P

..Folks, that's a major oversight. Why ? Because it's probably the hydrogen that removes heat from inside the refrigerator.

When ammonia encounters hydrogen gas, the chemical reaction between the two absorbs heat. That's how the propane fridge produces its cooling action -- by pulling heat from the interior of the refrigerator into the ammonia-hydrogen mix. As it absorbs heat, the ammonia becomes a gas again. The ammonia and hydrogen gases then combine with water. The ammonia and water form a solution again, which releases the hydrogen gas to rise back to the evaporator. The process then starts all over again.
https://homeguides.sfgate.com/propane-fridge-work-84254.html

..@All,
.This is an example of a cumulative effect. That's because different chemical actions are happening. It's possible that there are chemical interactions in our atmosphere at the moment that are not properly understood. This is where I should thank GasGuzzler and itn for mentioning the propane refrigerator. By knowing how the different chemical processes work in it, it allows us to understand the schematics and flow.

No he didn't! Who's making it up now?? Here's exactly what he said...go back and read. There's a whole lot more.
These refrigerators are rather clever devices that make use of a technique first developed by Dr. Faraday while he was playing around with ammonia. He found that when liquid ammonia combines with hydrogen, an endothermic chemical reaction takes place that also has a side effect of bring the ammonia into vapor.




James wrote:

Nope. If there is no heat, there is no change in temperature.
Again, you associate heat with warm or hot.

..GasGuzzler,
..All you're interested is saying I'm wrong. I said itn didn't mention hydrogen. He copied and pasted what someone wrote. If he understood the process then he would posted what I did. Everyone could clearly see what role hydrogen plays in cooling in a propane system. With what itn copied it was not prominent.
..I'm not sure how to put it to you because you don't understand basic calculus.
KE = 3/2kT describes the conserved energy of air molecules, ie. heat content.
KE = 3/2kT * volume describes heat in it's technical sense and is an accepted definition in the scientific community. In it's most simplistic form "heat" is any state of energy above absolute 0 which is −273.15 °C on the Celsius temperature scale and to −459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit temperature scale.

Please show me where I am wrong. All itn can say is "it's not", etc. ad nauseum.

With the poor air flow in the back of a fridge, and air being a poor coupling, why does a fridge not need a fan on the condenser coils? I would think that would increase efficiency significantly.

It does. However, convective cooling is sufficient for the RV style 'fridge. If you look at the unit, you will find that there is usually a port for air to enter the bottom and out the top of the installation back there.
GasGuzzler wrote:
I have worked on window unit air conditioners that actually use a condenser coil fan that picks up water from the evaporator coil drain pan and splashes the water on the condenser coils to increase efficiency.

That's another way, and it works quite well.
GasGuzzler wrote:
How can I fridge / freezer work so well without a fan and barely any air flow?

Mostly because a 'fridge is a heavily insulated box. The insulation is good enough and the box a small enough volume that over time it's able to cool that freezer to make ice.

Total heat flow is the product of air inside the box coupling to the condenser coils, the plumbing itself conveying thermal energy, and the coupling to outside air. As long as the burner is lit, the conveyance system runs in the plumbing. Over time, it's enough.

The refrigerator by itself as a thermal system doesn't run. It has no energy source to run the thing, and it has no coupling to any outside anything. It will not cool down.

Imagine this.....
Take a Rubik's Cube size block of steel and chill it to 49 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Place it in a large Machine Shed that has been chilled to 50 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Guess what? There will be heat! The block with transfer energy until equalibrium has been reached. The the air in the machine shed has been heated, but the temp did not measurably rise Everything is still freezing cold, but heat still happened.

While the air in the shed DID rise a very tiny bit, you will not see it on most thermometers.
Assuming the shed to be a 10x10x10 feet, and the block a normal sized Rubick's cube in size, the temperature increase in the shed will be 0.000056 deg F., leaving the shed and cube temperature minus 49.999944 deg F once equilibrium is established again.

If a region is colder than another region, the warmer region is always the 'hot' one, even if it's 50 deg F below zero.
