The Evolution of Embedded Refrigerators: From Separation to Integration

On June 24, the Casarte boundary-free embedded refrigerator was launched. It has subverted people’s understanding of embedded refrigerators with its 0cm boundary-free parallel embedding and boundary-free free combination: the refrigerator has become “invisible”, can be spliced, and completely integrated into the cabinet, while using oxygen control preservation technology to keep ingredients nutritious for 7 days.

From 10cm, 2cm to 0cm, it seems that only the heat dissipation margin between the refrigerator and the cabinet has been reduced, but behind it is an evolution of the aesthetic scene of the boundary-free combination embedding. Below, we will take you through the timeline to understand the past and present of embedded refrigerators.

Origin

Separation of Box and Machine Era

The Evolution of Embedded Refrigerators: From Separation to Integration

In 1918, American engineer Copeland invented the world’s first household refrigerator. Its shell was made of wood, and the insulation material was a mixture of seaweed and sawdust, which appeared very crude and heavy.

When using the refrigerator, people found that the compressor was quite noisy, affecting normal life, and had to place the refrigerator indoors while moving the compressor outdoors.

Birth

Ordinary Embedded Era

Later, with the development of urbanization, people began to move into apartments, and the kitchen area also shrank. In 1926, the birth of the Frankfurt integrated kitchen showed that embedded appliances were a trend, which also stimulated the invention of embedded refrigerators.
During installation, people found that ordinary embedded refrigerators were limited by technology and could not be completely flush with the wall, still requiring enough heat dissipation space. The large heat dissipation margin and protruding body became obstacles to integrating the refrigerator into the cabinet.

Development

Free Embedded Era

Entering the 21st century, people’s requirements for kitchen environments have become higher. While cooking, people always feel that ordinary embedded refrigerators occupy space and affect activities, and they begin to desire a truly embedded refrigerator.
In 2017, Casarte invented the free embedded refrigerator, first defining the industry standards. The heat dissipation margin is only 2cm, solving the problem of protruding body, suitable for various home decoration styles, and pushing the refrigerator into the free embedded kitchen aesthetic scene.

Evolution

Boundary-Free Combination Embedded Era

Casarte refrigerators have observed that new affluent groups are beginning to pursue open kitchens, emphasizing the artistic taste of kitchen environments, and the boundary-free combination embedded refrigerator was born, releasing more freedom in home decoration for new affluent groups.

(1)Heat Dissipation Margin from Bounded to Unbounded

Before renovation, people often reserve a position before buying appliances, but it is difficult to choose a refrigerator that perfectly integrates into the home decoration style. The boundary-free refrigerator achieves a 60cm ultra-thin mainframe design, breaking through the 0cm heat dissipation margin, allowing for parallel embedding into the cabinet, and with the original rock panel, truly achieves being hidden in the cabinet, concealed in the home, and can be placed anywhere.

(2)From Single Unit to Free Combination

When turning from a sweet couple to a family of four, do we need to replace the refrigerator? In Casarte’s kitchen aesthetic scene, people only need to customize the refrigerator capacity according to their family situation, and can freely combine the refrigerator in just 20 minutes, perfectly supporting personalized storage experiences.

From “back kitchen” to “social center”, from “storage tool” to “health steward”, high-end groups’ requirements for kitchen environments and dietary life continue to rise, and the evolution of refrigerators will not stop. Casarte refrigerators have always keenly observed changes in user living habits, constructing smart kitchen scene ecosystems, and achieving a new dietary life experience.
