Tri-Cooling Refrigerators

Fisher & Paykel's Triple Zone Refrigerator Reduces Food Waste

— June 10, 2023 — Art & Design
Fisher & Paykel is addressing consumers' increasing desire to maximize the use of purchased produce and minimize food waste with the introduction of their Series 9 74" Integrated Triple Zone Refrigerator. This innovative fridge introduces three independent cooling zones to offer more temperature control and flexibility. As such, each different area can be configured to best match the items being stored with regard to temperature and humidity.

There are three refrigeration modes to choose from, including: Chill (from 29 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit), Fridge (from 34 to 44 degrees Fahrenheit) and Pantry (from 52 to 56 degrees Fahrenheit)—and there are even more modes on offer with the Triple Zone Freezer. According to Fisher & Paykel, "Chill mode can extend the shelf life of red meat nearly three times longer than regular refrigerator settings."
Trend Themes
1. Temperature-controlled Refrigerators - There is an opportunity for appliance companies to create temperature-controlled refrigerators as consumers seek to maximize the use of purchased produce and minimize food waste.
2. Flexible Cooling Zones - Appliance companies can take advantage of the growing consumer demand for flexible cooling zones that offer more temperature control and reduce food waste like Fisher & Paykel's Triple Zone Refrigerator.
3. Extended Shelf-life Appliances - Appliance companies can innovate and create extended shelf-life appliances like Fisher & Paykel's Chill mode that can extend the shelf life of red meat nearly three times longer than regular refrigerator settings.
Industry Implications
1. Appliances - Appliance makers can leverage advanced technology and innovative designs to create environmentally conscious refrigerators and freezers with temperature-controlled settings.
2. Food - Food retailers can leverage temperature-controlled refrigeration technologies to reduce waste and preserve their perishable items while extending their shelf life.
3. Consumer Goods - Consumer goods companies can explore how temperature-controlled refrigeration units like Fisher & Paykel's Triple Zone Refrigerator can maximize the use of purchased produce and minimize food waste in their products' packaging and transportation.
