O Design

Sobre Whirlpool Protton Nxt Refrigerador de Três Portas

O Protton Nxt é um refrigerador de três portas concebido para lares urbanos indianos. A terceira porta abriga uma gaveta crisper de 34 litros dedicada a frutas e legumes, os itens mais frequentemente acessados nas cozinhas indianas. A gaveta separada reduz a perda de ar frio do compartimento principal. O recurso Active Deo limita a mistura de odores, e o recurso Freshpad melhora a circulação de ar na gaveta de vegetais. Prateleiras e trilhos ajustáveis permitem reorganizar o armazenamento conforme as necessidades mudam. O refrigerador utiliza o fluido refrigerante R600a, e as peças não estruturais são feitas de plástico reciclado.

Tecnologia de Produção: The product retains Whirlpool's core cooling expertise in Freezer and Refrigerator cabinets. The dedicated Veg compartment in the form of a drawer cabinet is further empowered with the Active Deo feature reducing odor mixing and Freshpad which ensures better air circulation and thus keeping the food fresher for a long time. This product is going to be manufactured in Whirlpool's production facility made with a high focus on quality and safety, while ensuring that our plants comply with all environmental laws. The products are reengineered and upgraded as per the latest government approved energy ratings. This being a product catering to consumer segment conscious of electricity consumption, will be having competitive energy efficiency. Whirlpool has phased out Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and will be using a greener refrigerant R600a, a hydrocarbon with zero ODS and GWP of 8. Additionally, all the non-structural components are made with recycled plastic.
Desafio de Design: Having conducted research to innovate refrigerator features in India, we encountered a complex challenge deeply rooted in profound cultural and dietary diversity. The habits we analyzed revealed drastically varied storage needs. Diverse behavioral patterns had to be decoded to arrive at insights relevant to the entire spectrum. Crucially, the Indian consumer's reliance on fresh produce highlighted a strict requirement for an enlarged, dedicated vegetable zone with freshness prolonged. Ultimately, our greatest hurdle was having these localized insights synthesized into adaptable cooling and freshness features successfully tailored to the everyday rhythms of the diverse Indian kitchen.
Pesquisa: To ensure the product's success, we conducted extensive consumer research which involved ethnographic research and subsequent heuristic evaluation. This allowed us to understand the consumer behavior pattern and identify key consumer needs specific to the target audience and translate them into innovative design solutions stepping up the freshness retention of food items. We have also identified and addressed several consumer concerns, specifically regarding cooling loss during frequent door openings. In the Indian market, the vegetable zone is the most frequently accessed part of the refrigerator. By providing a dedicated compartment for this section, we can effectively prevent air loss within the main refrigerator body.
Inspiração: Modern lifestyles and India's predominantly vegetarian population have led to a growing demand for refrigerators with ample storage space for fresh produce. Whirlpool Protton addresses this need by offering a unique three-door format with a dedicated compartment for fruits and vegetables.
Key consumer needs were identified and translated into innovative design solutions such as a large vegetable drawer and freshness features like Active Deo, Microblock and Freshpad. While Active Deo feature reduces food odor, Freshpad improves air circulation in the Vegetable compartment which helps in retaining the freshness of stored items.
