In addition to conventional flash drives, other devices, such as USB extension cables, adapters, hubs, backlight lamps, cigarette lighters, ashtrays, etc., began to be in demand. One of the latest novelties in the world of similar gadgets is a mini refrigerator powered by USB. Let's find out about this interesting device in more detail.

Why do I need a refrigerator for my computer?

The USB refrigerator is a miniature refrigerator working on the computer. Usually it is designed for one or more standard cans for beverages. This useful device will help you to cool any drink, be it beer, energy or ordinary Coca-Cola, to an acceptable temperature. Some models of compact refrigerators operate in two modes, allowing you to also warm up and keep your drinks warm. These devices can be used both in the cold season and in warm weather.

Mini refrigerator is compact enough, it takes up minimum space on the desktop. The average size of such gadgets is 20 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm, and the weight is about 300-350 g. They cost about 30 cu.

How the USB Beverage Works for Beverages

The miniature refrigerator works just like a large one: the liquid refrigerant circulating inside the device absorbs heat when passing into the gaseous state. At the same time, the temperature in the chamber decreases, which makes it possible to cool the inside liquid in a tin can. The energy for cooling is received by the device from the computer via a USB port.

Speaking about the peculiarities of mini USB coolers operation, it is worth noting the following.

First, they do not require complex installation, installation of any drivers, etc. It's enough just to connect the device to any USB port of your computer or laptop , and it will immediately start working.

Secondly, sometimes causes a period of time for which the device is able to cool the drink qualitatively. Manufacturers of gadgets claim that this is really done in 5-10 minutes. Again, this depends on the number of cameras and the total power of your USB refrigerator. However, practice and elementary calculations show that it is difficult to cool 0.33 liters of fluid in such short terms, considering the minimum voltage (5 V) and the current strength of only 500 mA. Connecting the same more powerful device to the computer can disable the USB port.

Therefore, before buying a miniature computer refrigerator, think: so do you need it? There is an opinion that it is easier and faster to cool drinks in an ordinary refrigerator. However, if you are a fan of all sorts of novelties and want to acquire such an unusual and fashionable gadget to surprise your friends and please yourself - this is certainly a good reason to buy.
