One way to decrease operating costs is to operate the system at a lower speed over a
longer period of time. The most efficient operation would occur if the system could be
fine tuned to run continuously at a level that constantly matched the cooling
requirements.
This is a lot like your car. In stop and go driving in a city environment your mileage will
be lower than when you set the cruise control and are out on the open country roads. The
energy needed to start your car moving and get it up to twenty-five miles per hour is
greater than the energy needed to keep it moving at fifty-five miles per hour. You can
always feel comfortable knowing the power is there to quickly accelerate if needed but
you can keep it in reserve and save money until the need arises.
The Jenn-Air
®
Luxury™ Series of refrigerators uses variable capacity cooling to match
the needs of the user. Variable Capacity Cooling is not brand new technology. It is a
more expensive technology. The demand in the US has not been strong enough to
encourage refrigerator manufacturers to include this technology in their standard product
line. This technology has been in use in Europe and Asia where the power infrastructure
is not as well developed and energy conservation is of higher concern. A true luxury
product should include the newest technology and features just as a true luxury car should
have all the latest features and options available.
By providing Variable Capacity the Jenn-Air
®
Luxury™ product provides high
performance power when needed and high efficiency all of the time.
While this product line is not currently Energy Star™ rated, the performance is just short
of the requirements. The testing procedures are very specific and the laboratory tests
place this product just under the threshold needed. In actual use, this product line could
actually result in lower energy bills than expected, depending on the use patterns.
In the long run, slow and steady will win the race and the customer who is interested in
peak performance will not be disappointed with the results of Variable Capacity Cooling.
Sound Performance Beyond Many Expectations
About the only time we become concerned with the noise our refrigerator makes is either
when the sound drastically changes and service is needed, or when it is loud enough to be
heard in a quiet house on a sleepless night.
The Jenn-Air
®
Luxury™ Series of refrigerators were designed from the start to be some
of the quietest on the market. Special insulation is included to limit the noise heard
outside of the cabinet. Bumpers have been added to prevent vibration. The Variable
Capacity Compressor has a lower volume at a lower speed. Even the control area is
insulated so that the relays that switch different circuits are barely audible.
The end result is a system that will only be heard when the user is trying to hear it. It will
be seldom that the users will even notice when the system is running.
There are some noises that are normal. The following page identifies some of the normal
noises and indicates what the source could be.
