Direct cool refrigerators are a specific type of refrigerators that uses natural convection for cooling. They work on the principle of natural convection where the cooling process occurs through a natural circulation of air. These refrigerators feature a single evaporator plate that's in direct contact with the interior compartment. A cooling agent circulates this plate, absorbing heat from the fridge and freezer compartments. The cooling process relies on natural air circulation, leading to the formation of ice or frost on the freezer compartment's walls, which needs manual defrosting periodically to maintain efficiency. Direct cool refrigerators are typically more energy-efficient compared to frost-free models, making them a preferred choice in some markets due to their lower energy consumption.

Note: Every manufacturer of direct cool refrigerators must obtain BEE registration and adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Indian standard – 17550 to ensure their safety and energy-efficient operation.

BEE Registration under IS 17550 holds significant importance for direct cool refrigerators as it signifies adherence to rigorous energy efficiency standards. This certification confirms that these refrigerators meet or exceed defined criteria for energy consumption, enabling consumers to make informed choices and opt for models recognized for their superior energy-saving capabilities. Compliance with this standard significantly contributes to environmental conservation by reducing overall energy usage and associated carbon emissions. Moreover, BEE Registration often serves as a mandatory requirement for market entry, ensuring regulatory compliance and enhancing the competitiveness of certified direct cool refrigerators in the market.
