It is possible to find the semiconductor VIG in a variety of different configurations in a wide range of different household appliances.
Design concepts used by home appliance manufacturers are primarily focused on increasing the artistic value of their products, improving the intelligence of their products, reducing pollution, and reducing energy consumption. A popular choice for use as a component in household appliances and other items of everyday use due to its excellent physical and aesthetic properties, Double insulation glass is a popular material for this purpose. After being introduced in 2004 to replace the plastic or metal panels that had previously been used in LG refrigerators, crystal insulated glass (IGU) panels became the first type of quisure insulated glass to be used in a refrigerator. The first refrigerators and washing machines made of crystal clear quisure insulated glass were introduced by manufacturers such as Siemens, Panasonic, and Gree, who were among the first to introduce such products in the industry's early years. It was AWE and LG who were the first to introduce the smart perspective window refrigerator, which is also known as the smart perspective window freezer, back in 2018. Doors within doors are used to provide a panoramic view of the interior, resulting in a more comfortable viewing experience for the viewer.
Activating the sensor is as simple as touching the refrigerator door, which illuminates the perspective window and allows you to see what is going on in the refrigerator's food storage compartment without having to open the refrigerator door. The perspective window is made of three layers of tempered glass sandwiched between two layers of argon, with the inner layer of tempered being Nanocoated and equipped with a touching sensor on the inside. The outer layers of tempered are not Nanocoated.
The outer layers of tempered glass are not Nanocoated, as is the case with safety glass. With some effort, the number of times the refrigerator must be opened can be reduced while maintaining the same amount of cold air in the refrigerator. The service life of the compressor will be extended as a result of this as well. Because of this, the food will remain fresher for a longer period of time, and the compressor's life expectancy will be extended as well. Not only does this device make refrigerators safer for people to use by lowering energy consumption, it also benefits the environment by conserving electricity.
Siemens, Anthony, and Haier all demonstrated a refrigerator that used a VIG as the perspective window in the same year, but the thickness of the panel was reduced from 50mm to 30mm, resulting in a box that was much thinner and lighter; in addition, the heat transfer coefficient of the window frame was reduced from 1.0Wm2k-1 to 0.45Wm2k-1, resulting in a refrigerator that did not require any additional electric heating defogging; and as a result of the VI
In light of the advantages listed above, the refrigerator with an integrated VIG that also serves as an observation window has emerged as the primary direction for future development in the refrigerator manufacturing industry. Integrated VIGs are becoming increasingly common in refrigerators. This has been demonstrated even further by taking the large refrigerator and wine cabinet doors off of their hinges. This demonstrates the refrigerator's exceptional energy-saving and anticondensation performance, which has been confirmed by VIG.
