OPERATION OF KIMCHI REFRIGERATOR BY SETTING INITIAL MATURATION TEMPERATURE TO TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION CHARACTERISTIC OF UNDERGROUND ON WINTER DAYS TO CREATE TASTE OF GIMJANG KIMCHI IN KIMCHI REFRIGERATOR

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of operating a kimchi refrigerator for maturing kimchi in a desired state and storing by setting the initial maturation temperature of the kimchi refrigerator to temperature distribution characteristic of the underground on winter days is provided. It can create the taste of kimchi exhibiting regional characteristics while providing standardized taste of kimchi regardless of a region and underground temperature distribution on winter days. CONSTITUTION: The operation of a kimchi refrigerator for maturing kimchi in a desired state and storing is performed at low temperature of 0 to 5deg.C to mature kimchi. The low temperature maturation of kimchi is performed at the low temperature regardless of initial material temperature of kimchi to be input. But the initial material temperature of kimchi to be input is achieved by quick cooling until it reaches the low temperature maturation temperature. The kimchi refrigerator contains a memory part for containing underground temperature data on winter days according to using area, an input part for inputting the using area of the refrigerator, a compressor for compressing refrigerant to cool the interior and a control part for controlling the compressor to mature kimchi to achieve low temperature at a best fitting temperature for underground temperature data on winter days according to input using area.
