Samsung Innovation Museum:The History of the Electronics Industry, James Harrison & the Refrigerator

The Refrigeration system has played a significant role in bringing diversity to our diets by allowing people to store foods for longer periods. Today, foods travel many miles before they reach the dinner table, offering a new cultural experience with every bite.

What innovative changes were made in the history of refrigerators?

In the mid-19th century, an Australian compositor James Harrison developed the refrigeration system based on the evaporative property of ethers.
Harrison’s refrigerator became popular among breweries and meatpackers and led to a revolution in the global wholesale industry.

Today’s refrigerators consider not only functions but also design, evolving into a product that can be customized according to individual preferences for a better life.
