New Technology Makes the Best Event Better

Sub-Zero Built-In Refrigeration
Air purification system adds another level of performance to Sub-Zero refrigeration.
June 2008

Sub–Zero has added new technology to their line of built–in refrigerators. An air purification system will help keep foods fresher longer by filtering bacteria, viruses, odor, and ethylene from the air circulating throughout the unit. Ethylene is a gas produced by some fruits and vegetables during the ripening process, but other types of produce are harmed by exposure to the gas. For example, cantaloupe produces ethylene, but honeydew melon is sensitive to it. So if you store them together, the cantaloupe will ripen but the honeydew will rot.

The addition of air purification in the refrigerator will help reduce the effects of ethylene damage. In a standard refrigerator, air is circulated throughout the compartment, so even if you store honeydew and cantaloupe in different drawers, they are essentially breathing the same air. Purify that air, and your ethylene sensitive foods will last longer.

Sub–Zero is already the top name in consumer refrigeration, renowned for keeping food fresh for longer periods of time. Dual compressors, which come standard in Sub–Zero models, are the key to maintaining optimum freshness. Each compartment has a dedicated compressor, ensuring that temperature and humidity levels are ideal in both the refrigerator and freezer. The single compressor on most refrigerators keeps the freezer compartment frozen, then pushes the freezer air into the refrigerator compartment. The resulting temperature fluctuations in the freezer lead to freezer–burn. Meanwhile, food on the refrigerator side is bathed in extremely dry air. Not an ideal situation for either side. But Sub–Zero solves that with a dedicated compressor for each side. Now, with the additional air purifier, the lifespan you can expect from fresh fruits and vegetables just got longer.


Get Your Groove Back

Just like fashion, home theater is going retro. The hottest new trend in audio brings us back to the era of turntables. True audiophiles probably never fully embraced the digital revolution, but the rest of us have been living in a CD/MP3 world for several years now. Unfortunately, digital audio formats only give you a small sample of the sound you are supposed to hear, where vinyl reproduces the music exactly as it’s meant to be heard. That’s why high–end home theater systems are including turntables as an anchor for the music experience. Manufacturers like from Sony to McIntosh offer turntables, and new web sites specializing in vinyl records are springing up all over the Internet. Update your home theater to include the newest in thing—turntables.
