Abstract
A refrigerating appliance (100) is provided. The refrigerating appliance (100) comprises: —at least one storage compartment (110) for storing goods to be refrigerated; —a pressure sensor (180), —a control unit (172) configured to control operation of the refrigerating appliance (100), the control unit (172) being in signal communication with said pressure sensor (180); wherein: —said pressure sensor (180) is a MEMS pressure sensor configured to measure the pressure inside said at least one storage compartment (110) and to transmit to the control unit (172) a corresponding pressure signal proportional to said measured pressure, the control unit (172) being configured to control the operation of the refrigerating apparatus (100) based on the pressure signal received from the pressure sensor (180).
