Refrigerator - how is the volume (cubic feet) measured?
Question:Refrigerator - how is the volume (cubic feet) measured?
I am shopping for a new refrigerator.
I talked to a sales guy yesterday, who claimed that the volume numbers (say 29.6 cubic feet, 25.2 cubic feet) are measured by multiplying the inside height, width and girth - without subtracting for the cooling mechanisms, ice maker, etc. That just doesn't seem right to me. Anyone know how manufacturers measure volume of refrigerators?
Answers:
the salesman is referring to the interior capacity:
H x W x Depth = answer
This is the cubic capacity of your 'fridge
Not quantum physics is it ? like cool cool is making out. cheers
It may not be right, because those things take up different amounts of space. Yet, the frame of the fridge is measured. Length x width x depth= area
It is not correct.
For big square type refrigerator like walk-in cooler & freezer ( http://www.dragon-enterprise.com/product... ) like a box without anything inside, it is right ro calculate like that. But for normal domestic mini fridge ( http://www.dragon-enterprise.com/product... ) with irregular interior cabinet and accessories like shelves,door racks,ice boxes, that is not the correct way to calculate the volume. The correct way is to calculate the total interior volome first and then subtract the volume of accessories like shelves,door racks,ice boxes,etc. The simple way to understand is: the toal volume of water you can fill insde is the net volume of the fridge.
