Features

The difference between a bar refrigerator and a large one is not only in size, but also in the cooler. A small cooling unit does not work on freon, but on ammonia or isobutane. This reduces the noise level of the device. A person can sleep and not hear how the mini-bar works. The level of ammonia as a refrigerant is negligible, which does not affect human health.

Wine

Wine coolers are a separate category. They have a number of specific requirements:

  • the door of the wine cooler must be deaf or frosted dark glass, which delays ultraviolet rays, badly affecting the taste of wine;
  • the temperature in the refrigerator should not lower below +8 degrees. For many wines, even this temperature will seem too low, so in a good wine cooler there are several compartments with different temperatures;
  • humidity in the refrigerator should be maintained at 50-70%, so that the cork does not dry up, the air does not get into the bottle and does not let the wine go sour. Humidity is maintained by a drip humidification system. Premium models are equipped with lava stones, which absorb moisture, if they emit a lot of it, if not enough;
