Atlant refrigerator (Atlant): characteristics, operating instructions, reviews

Two-cell refrigerators "Atlas": country of origin, and a bit of history

With conveyor "MZKh" (Minsk refrigerator plant) situated in Belarus, he came down in June 1962, the first refrigerator - CRS-152 "Minsk-1". The same plant was subsequently developed and manufactured the first in the Soviet Union two-chamber assembly. It also developed a polyurethane thermal insulation. After 1973 production of "MZH" became available for export all over the world. "Atlant" Brand started its journey in 1993. Today the company produces over 50 different models of refrigeration units (30-400 liters), 26 models of washing machines, gas cookers and electric kettles even 2 model.

Currently, the corporation "Atlas" is a leading manufacturer of washing machines, refrigeration and gas stoves, not only in Belarus but also in the entire former Soviet Union.

The reasons for the popularity of refrigerators "Atlant"

Start here should be a grade, which is the first day of work was characterized by "MZH". Many of the cottages are still working their production units. Supplied Now Russian counters refrigerators did not lose in quality, and even, on the contrary, acquiring a number of useful options, all also operate stably.

Now about the lineup. It is so wide that you can pick up the unit at absolutely every taste and budget. If we talk about European counterparts, their cost is much higher than for the same functionality.

Another feature refrigerators "Atlant" - models in the lineup today there is not one that requires defrosting. All this happens automatically, which facilitates the work of the housewife.

Refrigerator "Atlas": design and appearance

Appearance of modern dvuhkamernikov "Atlant" attention to detail. Usually this is at the bottom of the freezer (there are several drawers), and on top - refrigerator, everything here is simple. There are different variations to the size, but on the whole case. But with the construction of a little more complicated. Essentially, refrigerators and freezers operate individually, independently of each other.

Freezer sure you have the following components:

• compressor;
• capacitor;
• static evaporator;
• Filter-dryer;
• capillary conduit.

freezer compressor operation is ensured, evacuating freon, or rather, its vapors from the evaporator, and pressurizing them to a condenser, in which the Freon passes into liquid state. After the liquid Freon is fed into the freezing chamber evaporator. The calculated pressure difference provides the transition from the liquid refrigerant to the vapor state. It is this process is accompanied by the release of large amounts of cold, and which products are cooled by means of synthetic evaporator. Steam, which was formed by boiling freon compressor is evacuated again and everything happening around. Freezer must be defrosted from time to time, however, the quality of the "Atlas" technology allows you to do not more than 1 time per year.

For the refrigerating chamber (HK) is required to have the following components:

• compressor;
• capacitor;
• "Weeping" evaporator;
• Filter-dryer;
• capillary conduit.

The essence of the job is the same as that of the IC, but there is no need to defrost the entire period of operation. Frost begins to thaw after switching off the compressor, then through the drain channel goes special tank where vaporized by heat from the compressor (about 90˚C).

What specifications should pay attention

buyers often make mistakes, buying a refrigerator. After setting it in the kitchen, the decomposed product and plug it in, start to bite your elbows. To this did not happen, Tehno.guru editors decided to hold a small educational program on this subject.

External dimensions, and how they relate to capacity

The most common mistake consumers - pay attention to the external dimensions of the refrigeration unit. They believe that the more he is outside, the more spacious inside, however, is misleading. In addition, the manufacturer usually indicates the total capacity of the HC and MC. For example, given that the volume is 320 liters. This can mean: MK volume - 95 liters and HC - 225 l. That is why you should carefully read the technical data sheet of the unit. After all, one needs freezer larger volume, while others are buying the unit due to freezing.

Refrigerator "Atlant" Know Frost

It is already clear that the current HC not require defrosting. But what if you did not want to mess with the MC? In this case it is better to buy a more expensive model with the function «No Frost». If we translate the term literally from English - not frozen. Such units with special heater that is activated at regular intervals and melts accumulated ice. Water is discharged in the same manner as in the refrigerator compartment.

Refrigerator "Atlant" 2 compressor - is it necessary

Around this question quite a lot of controversy. Some consider it a waste of money, however, the advantages of the two compressors are obvious:

• lower cost of electricity - if you add up savings for the entire period of operation, the amount obtained tangible;
• possibility of independent temperature adjustment is impossible in the unit with one compressor;
• device with two compressors support mode "shock" freezing, which can store up to 100% of the vitamins in the green, berries, fruits and vegetables.

Why 2 refrigerant circuit

Two circuit will help in case of damage to the pipeline. If the single-loop unit it is damaged, stop working both chambers, while here with this damage, one of the cameras will work, that will help to save products.
