Seems like having an ultra-chill button for that function would help with that.
Might want some phase-change materials to optimize the thermal banking.
That’s easier for a freezer (very salty water bottles) than a fridge (need some carefully produced waxes), but fridge contents should be more tolerant of temperature variability.
Would add that refrigeration is more efficient at night when ambient temperatures are generally cooler and/or heating needs are greater, so the “ultra-chill overnight and daytime backoff” might not increase consumption.
- konfusinomicon 2y agothe fast chill button is a thing. it's in both my 8yr old GE and my newer samsung..I never use it though but it's made for putting still warm leftovers in and getting them cold fast
- Scoundreller 2y agoNeed a thing to press that button 1/2 hour before peak rates take effect. But I wonder if it just circulates more air and the thermostat doesn’t adjust its set points.
