ExclusiveHow Does a Refrigerator Keep Food Cold?❄️

Oh, so cold. Where does the cold come from? Maybe somebody lives inside. Penguin team, more cold, please. Yes, boss. Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee! No penguins, Ollie. Here is the secret. A fridge does not make cold. What? Then what does it do? Here's the thing. Refrigerators take heat out. Less heat inside means a cooler fridge. So the fridge is a heat thief. Meet the refrigerant, a special liquid that loves to pick up heat. When the liquid grabs heat, it turns into gas. That is the part inside your fridge that cools your food. So the milk is happy now! Ha, ha, ha. This is the compressor. It squeezes the gas. And squeezed gas gets very hot. Ouch! Hot cloud! It's warm back here. Yes, yes. The heat leaves through these pipes. That is why the fridge never makes your kitchen colder. Then the liquid passes through a tiny gate. It cools down, and it is ready to pick up more heat. It's a never-ending circle! Hmm, what should I eat? Tink, Leo! Huh? Leo, an open door lets warm air in, so the fridge must work harder. Open it, grab, and close. Got it! Fast hands! Brr, this part is even colder. That is the freezer. It pulls out even more heat than the fridge does. Fridge. It's getting warm in here. Hehehehe Leo, hot food gives the fridge too much heat to carry at once, and then everything inside gets warm. Let the soup cool down first. Fridge Owl, I keep all snacks cold. Hey buddy, what are you dreaming about? Want some watermelon? Let's review what we've learned. A fridge moves heat out, so inside gets cold. In the freezer, water holds hands and becomes ice. Well done, Leo. And hot soup waits to cool down. No penguins needed. See you next time.
