  • A while ago I got a freeze dryer and this was my first time trying it out.
    The freeze dryer has been used in videos like:

    I learned some time ago, when my fridge broke, that even household fridges can go surprisingly low. So what happened is that cold air was not getting pumped from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator. And it was working nonstop. In the end, refrigerator was at +10 C, but the freezer went down to -45 C.

      the problem with it getting so cold is that even the refrigerant can start to stay in liquid form, which both the compressor constantly running and the refrigerant being liquid while it is supposed to be gas (called compressor floodback) can cause the compressor to fail prematurely

      @@neoqueto yeah, in that case I would recommend looking into replacing your fridge sooner rather than later, especially if you live somewhere with high electricity costs. Ignoring the electricity costs, just the fact that the compressor could just fail at any moment is a reason to replace it, and honestly modern fridges (modern as in like, any fridge made in the last like 50 years or something idk) are just plastic garbage, especially when compared to commercial grade offerings. If you can afford it, I would recommend getting some commercial grade fridges, which should last longer, and be more serviceable... but at a hefty price tag

      It depends on how it handles a vacuum, freeze dryers work by getting things very cold, then pulling a strong enough vacuum that ice sublimates into vapor. I don't know for sure, but if I were to guess, ethanol would probably evaporate rapidly under similar vacuum/temperature conditions
