Comfortable use of a modern kitchen presupposes the obligatory presence of a refrigerator, and in the hot season it literally becomes vital. A huge selection of refrigerators not only does not make it easier, but even makes it difficult to make a purchase. This article is about one of the largest home appliance manufacturers, a Japanese corporation SHARP. It is also worth considering several models of refrigerators of its production..
A bit of history
SHARP was founded in 1912 in Tokyo. The corporation’s business credo is quite clear about her approach to business. "Sincerity and Creativity" – "Honesty and Creativity". Motto – appeal to the consumer "Be original", which literally translates to "be original".
The corporation stated that its success is due precisely to adherence to these two principles – honesty towards the user and creativity. SHARP released its first refrigerator in 1952 – and since then it has maintained its leadership position, constantly improving and improving the functionality and quality of products..
During its more than 100-year history, SHARP has been repeatedly named the first in the field of innovative technology. Thanks to a caring attitude towards both the buyer and the environment, the famous Japanese hard work, a creative approach to work and with a deep sense of responsibility, the company really manages to create products that competitors want to copy..
Features and Benefits
Various technologies invented and patented by the company give this technique additional unique advantages (in comparison with traditional refrigerators). These units meet all the requirements for quality and functionality.
Unique technology "Plasmacluster Ion" will provide an opportunity to save a lot of time, allowing you not to lay out products strictly on certain shelves. They will stay fresh everywhere – thanks to the constant process of air purification and the destruction of harmful bacteria. This technology intensively cleans the space, destroying dust, allergens and microbes..
There is also technology "Hybrid Cooling" – Thanks to an aluminum plate attached to the back of the chamber, the fan distributes the cold evenly, constantly maintaining the desired temperature and natural humidity. The hybrid cooling system provides the ability to preserve the natural look and taste of products for a long time. "Hybrid Cooling" provides the ability to store food in the refrigerator without even packaging – effect "winding" product excluded.
Another unique invention of the company, an innovative compressor, provides economical energy consumption and silent operation of the unit. The technology helps to reduce energy consumption by 20% (compared to other refrigerators) and reduces the noise level by up to 36 decibels. With compressor "J-Tech Inverter" even huge multi-compartment refrigerators will run completely silent.
"AG CU Nano" – revolutionary development SHARP, an active deodorizer that traps odor-causing bacteria in the air stream. It also prevents food odors from mixing and provides fresh air in the refrigerator..
Almost all modern models SHARP created using all the technologies invented and patented by the company, and absolutely all are equipped with the function "No Frost", which saves users from having to defrost the refrigerator themselves. Refrigerators are assembled in different countries, but this fact does not affect the quality in any way. All enterprises employ highly qualified and certified engineers and technologists.
Specifications
It is worth explaining some of the technical characteristics and their designations:
- Classes of division according to the level of power consumption (best to lowest energy efficiency) – A ++, A +, A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
- Storage chambers, the so-called freshness zones ("fresh zone", "bio-zone", "eco-zone", has a constant temperature of about zero), there are two types. "Wet" the freshness zone is used for products of plant origin, which can be stored without packaging. "Dry" the zone was created for the preservation of meat and dairy products, as well as fish. It is recommended to store products in a packaged form..
- Climatic classes – denote the temperature conditions for the operation of the refrigerator. N – normal, works at a room temperature from +16 to +32 C. SN – subnormal, for operation in a temperature range from +10 to 32 C. ST – subtropical, designed to work in humidity conditions at temperatures from +18 to + 38 C. T – tropical, suitable for hot and dry climates. This type of refrigerator will work even in the heat, when the air temperature reaches +43 С.
- Freezer classes are distinguished by numbers or the corresponding number of asterisks: 1 = -6 C, 2 = -12 C, 3 = -18 C, 4 = -24 C.
- Mode "leave" in the refrigerator implies energy savings of at least one third, due to the constant temperature in 15 C.
- "Parental lock" – the function allows you to lock the control system of settings from children.
- "No frost" – prevents the formation of ice, which frees the user from the need to defrost the refrigerator manually.
