Refrigerator Duty Cycle

compressor cycles about the setpoint
Refrigerator Duty Cycle

The compressor pulls the box down to the low set-point, shuts off, and the interior drifts back up until it kicks on again — the duty cycle behind the hum.

Computed & rendered in pure C# on the frozen OnlyCSharp 1.8 library — animation baked to GIF with the library's own Gif encoder (no GPU, no ffmpeg, no external packages).
