Just a few careless storage mistakes in your fridge could lead to regrettable consequences. Don't let lack of knowledge turn your home fridge into a terrifying time bomb.
With the advancement of society, more and more modern electrical appliances are being introduced to serve essential needs in people's lives. The practical role of these electrical items in households cannot be denied, but sometimes accidents occur due to users' lack of understanding.
Recently, a tragic accident occurred in Fujian Province, China, claiming the lives of two young children when their home refrigerator exploded. The incident has shocked many and raised questions about what could cause a seemingly normal refrigerator to explode.
Investigative agencies have concluded that placing carbonated beverages in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator is a 'killer.'
Each carbonated beverage can is pressurized, so putting it in the freezer will cause the temperature of the liquid to drop, but the volume of the liquid to increase. When the volume reaches its peak, it will deform the can, making it prone to explosion.
On the other hand, putting carbonated beverages in the freezer causes the water to freeze, which also changes the gas solubility. This releases carbon dioxide gas from the beverage can, subjecting it to a very large pressure and potentially exploding at any time.
In reality, many people have overlooked the clear notes from manufacturers on the packaging of carbonated beverages that advise against storing them at low or high temperatures.
To avoid regrettable incidents, remember the following after using the refrigerator:
- Do not place the refrigerator directly against the wall, or near heat sources such as stoves, ovens, microwaves, gas cylinders, etc.
- The area surrounding the refrigerator must be dry, cool, and not damp to prevent electrical leakage.
- Do not store carbonated beverages, glass bottles of beer or alcohol, metal cans with tight lids, etc., in the refrigerator to prevent explosions.
- Regularly check and clean the refrigerator to prevent issues like short circuits and ensure its durability.
- An excessively old or frequently repaired refrigerator is also very dangerous. It's best to replace it to ensure the safety of the whole family.
