The static system is different in that the air in the chamber does not move. It is cooled by the fact that the evaporator, driven by the compressor, takes away heat from it. When the compressor turns off after reaching the desired temperature, moisture thaws and flows through a special hole into the container below. Then the process repeats. The corresponding defrosting system is called a dropping system. The static cooling system is used in the freezer compartment of the Hotpoint Ariston HF 5200 S.

The cooling system No Frost, which means "No frost", is relatively young, but popular. Here, air, cooled by means of an evaporator, is fed into the chamber by means of a fan. This contributes to a uniform and rapid cooling of the products. The heating elements periodically thaw the frost that forms during this process. The resulting moisture evaporates due to the high temperature of the compressor.

It is this cooling and defrosting system that is used in the Hotpoint Ariston HF 5200 S.

In some refrigerators of this model, the No Frost freeze system is installed in freezers. After all the manufacturer has the right to change a complete set, technical characteristics and even the country-manufacturer.
