Role of ambient temperature, door opening, thermostat setting position and their combined effect on refrigerator-freezer energy consumption

Refrigerator-freezers energy consumption is greatly affected by room temperature, door opening and thermostat setting position. Two frost free household refrigerator freezers of the same capacity were tested in the laboratory to determine the sensitivity of their energy consumption to various usage...
