We all know that cold storage is important to hold most of our food today and apparently, much of these stem from the fact that the electricity used and the safekeeping of our current refrigerators leaves a lot to desire. For one thing, the manner of maintaining and ensuring that our refrigerators are indeed providing our raw food with the proper temperature while at the same time operates at an efficient energy level is important.

Oceania has designed and offered such an eco-friendly refrigerator/ freezer for us to consider and with the technology placed in it, you really have to be impressed at the concept and methodology.

The top three tiers are separately cooled using magnetic refrigeration which can be turned on or off using a digital interface. The bottom section is passively cooled using water and ceramic materials, and can reach temperatures sufficient enough to store fruits, vegetables, and bread. The fridge is connected to the water main just like a washing machine, which allows water to enter and stored in a reservoir within the fridge, passively cooling the compartment. The water can then be reused or drained.

There are other eco-saving design elements too. The conventional large fridge door has been replaced with full extension drawers, reducing cold air loss when opened. The drawers also enable the user to reach at the back of the fridge with less muss and fuss. The clear front panels and the lazy susan at the top enables the user to browse before opening the drawer.

The digital interface is loaded with clever tricks. Using RFID technology, it informs the user what items are in the fridge, possible recipes, and your food’s sell by date. It also alarms the user when hot food is placed in the fridge, and automatically turns compartments off when not in use.
