  3. Auto-defrost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-defrost

    A defrost timer taken out of a household refrigerator. The defrost mechanism in a refrigerator heats the cooling element (evaporator coil) for a short period of time and melts the frost that has formed on it. [ 1] The resulting water drains through a duct at the back of the unit. Defrosting is controlled by an electric or electronic timer.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_refrigerator

    The Einstein–Szilard or Einstein refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator which has no moving parts, operates at constant pressure, and requires only a heat source to operate. It was jointly invented in 1926 by Albert Einstein and his former student Leó Szilárd, who patented it in the U.S. on November 11, 1930 ( U.S. patent 1,781,541 ).

  9. Dilution refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_refrigerator

    The heat necessary for the dilution is the useful cooling power of the refrigerator, as the process of moving the 3 He through the phase boundary is endothermic and removes heat from the mixing chamber environment. The 3 He then leaves the mixing chamber in the dilute phase. On the dilute side and in the still the 3 He flows through superfluid ...
