    We cannot say how much exactly as we don't know the efficiency of the fridge. What we can say however it's definitely less than 441 J, as no device has 100% efficiency. This is the reason why it does not make sense to use fridge to cool down the air if there's no no aircon, as it will generate more heat than it deducts, so it will actually heat up the room even more.
