  • Publication number: 20110146938
    Abstract: Disclosed are a highly corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy for a heat exchanger tube and a method for manufacturing a heat exchanger tube using the same. The highly corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy includes 0.05 to 0.5 wt % of iron, 0.05 to 0.2 wt % of silicon, 0.6 to 1.2 wt % of manganese, 0.15 to 0.45 wt % of copper, 0.05 to 0.3 wt % of at least one of zirconium and boron, and the remainder of aluminum and impurities. The aluminum alloy aluminum alloy for a heat exchanger tube improves corrosion resistance without affecting the physical properties other than corrosion resistance, through improvement in composition of the alloy, and ensures sufficient corrosion resistance without thermal arc spraying of zinc, resulting in a simple process, which leads to improvement in manufacturing efficiency and productivity of products.

  • Patent number: 7883229
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes the ability to determine the amount of time that a light within the refrigerator remains on. If the on time exceeds a predetermined time period, the light is turned off. If the door of the refrigerator is repeatedly opened and closed, the total accumulated on time is monitored, and the light will be turned off when the total on time exceeds the predetermined time period. If the light remains off for more than a cooling off period, the accumulated on time timer is reset, and the light can again be turned on.
