Propane refrigerators are a reliable alternative to traditional electric models, especially in off-grid locations. They operate using a gas absorption system, which eliminates the need for compressors and moving parts. This process relies on a propane flame to heat a mixture of ammonia, hydrogen, and water, creating a cooling effect inside the refrigerator.
Compared to electric refrigerators, propane models offer greater energy efficiency in remote areas. Since they do not rely on electricity, they remain unaffected by power outages, making them ideal for cabins, caravans, and rural homes. Additionally, their silent operation makes them an excellent choice for those who prefer a noise-free cooling solution.
