Kelvinator

Kelvinator is a brand name for refrigerator and freezer products in several nations. It was a major manufacturer of home appliances and commercial freezers in the United States, and its line of refrigerators was the company's namesake. The name is from William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, who developed the concept of absolute zero, for whom the Kelvin temperature scale is named. The name was thought to be appropriate for a company that manufactured ice-boxes and refrigerators.

The company has undergone changes in ownership over the years, and its brand name has been licensed or sold in several countries. In the United States, Kelvinator Commercial, which produces and services food service refrigerators and freezer products for commercial applications, is part of the Electrolux Professional Group.
