When Alex met Oliver, the scientist explained how refrigerators work. He drew a picture to show Alex the basic idea. Oliver told Alex that refrigerators use a special gas called a refrigerant to cool things down.

Oliver continued to explain that inside a refrigerator, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the food. Then, it goes through a system of pipes that release the heat outside of the refrigerator. This process keeps the inside cold and the outside warm.

Alex listened carefully and asked Oliver more questions. Oliver was impressed by Alex's curiosity. He showed Alex different types of refrigerators and explained how they are used in homes, grocery stores, and even big factories.
