And depending on their climate, they got creative with natural cooling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some civilizations lived near rivers or lakes and used the cold water itself to store food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others cut ice and packed it into specially built &#8220;ice houses&#8221; for later use. In colder regions, people dug pits in the ground, filled them with snow or ice, and insulated them with straw or sawdust to keep their food preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when ice wasn&#8217;t readily available, they built underground spaces or cool cellars to take advantage of the natural earth&#8217;s temperature.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Fast forward to the 1800s, when the manufactured iceboxes resembling modern fridges gained popularity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These early models were essentially insulated cabinets made of metal or wood with a compartment for a big block of ice, thus making ice deliveries became a regular service for homes with these iceboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_First_Refrigerator\"><\/span>The First Refrigerator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1-19.jpg\" alt=\"history of refrigerator\" class=\"wp-image-583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1-19.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1-19-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1-19-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1-19-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the coolness of evaporation wasn&#8217;t a new concept thanks to Scottish scientist William Cullen in 1748, the modern fridge we know today is the result of many inventors building on each other&#8217;s ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1800s, American Jacob Perkins created the first vapor-compression system that serves as a key component to modern refrigeration.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>German professor Carl von Linde, back in the late 1800\u2019s also made a significant contribution by figuring out how to liquefy gasses.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These advancements paved the way for widespread commercial refrigeration in industries like food production by the early 1900s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/types-of-refrigerator\/\">Exploring The 6 Types of Refrigerator<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The home electric refrigerator finally arrived in 1913, thanks to American Fred W. Wolf&#8217;s design combined a refrigeration unit with an existing icebox.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just five years later, in 1918, William C. Durant revolutionized things again with the first mass-produced home fridge featuring a built-in compressor. This innovation made having a fridge in your own kitchen a reality!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the day, the fridges are considered a luxury item, with a cost roughly equivalent to 6,500-13,000 USD in today\u2019s currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, in the late 1930s when Freon was introduced, home refrigeration became more apparent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because freon is a much safer alternative compared to toxic gas that was previously used in the vapor compression process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you go, the history of the refrigerator all in one place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The journey of refrigeration has been a long and complicated one, and as you might know, even with today\u2019s standard the fridge is kinda \u201cdangerous\u201d.<br><br>A lot of people knew that, including us. So, if you want to buy some fridge, be sure to look for the fridge that has already been certified by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/\">SNI approval<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This certification ensures that every fridge that you buy or want to distribute or sell in Indonesia is up to Indonesian policy of quality and safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The history of refrigerator might be surprising for you!
