Origin: The first domestic refrigerator came from Germany.

Refrigerator is one of the essential appliances in our life. In the early years, when there was no refrigerator, many people would prepare a big wooden cabinet, under which ice cubes could be stored, and the shelf in the middle could store all kinds of foods that needed to be refrigerated. But even so, not every household can enjoy it.

But when it comes to the invention of the first refrigerator, it dates back to19th century. Jacoby Perkins, an Englishman, discovered in 1834 that liquid would have a cooling effect when it evaporated, so he recruited a group of workers to build a simple working model. On the day when the model was officially put into operation, some ice cubes were indeed produced. Later, a Scottish printer named Harrison noticed the cooling effect of the liquid when cleaning metal movable type, and set up a refrigeration workshop in a brewery in Victoria.

German engineer Karl von Linde invented the first household refrigerator. But unfortunately, electricity was not widely used at that time, so the scale of refrigerator entering the family was still limited. It was not until the mid-1920s that an inventor introduced electrical equipment into the household refrigerator, and finally the household refrigerator was born.
