Refrigeration aint my cup o tea. I have one of those small 120 Volt Dorm type 1.7 cu ft electric compact refrigerators. Lets say the ambient temperature is 70 degrees and I set the inside at 40 degrees for a 30 degree differential. I don't have any efficiency or cooling or R value or specs whatsoever, but have a question if it can even be answered given so little information (which I doubt, but am asking anyway).
HOW MANY HOURS A DAY WILL IT HAVE TO RUN TO MAINTAIN THAT 30 DEGREEE IN/OUT TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL???? (can figure never opened just for this rough estimate, but I don't have any idea how to compute the answer)
Thermodynamics wasn't my strong suit since I was studying electrical engineering, about the only thing I remember is HEAT LOST = HEAT GAINED.

PS Heres the fridge, but this dont tell ya much
