A refrigerator is provided that includes a cold air duct that receives cold air circulating inside of a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber, an evaporator in the cold air duct, at least one defrosting heater in the cold air duct that selectively emits heat, a fan in the cold air duct, that selectively directs the cold air in an upward or downward direction, a motor that drives the fan, and an open/close device that closes a space having the evaporator, the defrosting heater, and the fan positioned therein selectively, thereby providing an improved defroster for an evaporator.

Defroster for evaporator in refrigerator

A refrigerator having a main body includes a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber provided for storing foods. A cool air-generating device provided in the body generates cool air and a cool air-supplying device including at least one opening for discharging the cool air, is used to circulate the cool air through the freezing chamber, the refrigerating chamber, and the cool air-generating device. A separator provided adjacent to the opening acts to uniformly diffuse the cool air in the freezing chamber and the refrigerating chamber. The separator acts to separate two flows that are then brought back together. The collision and mixing of the two flows create a turbulent flow of air that is directed into the refrigerating and freezing chambers.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator is disclosed, by which a specific part of a freezer room and/or a specific part of a cold storage room can be adjusted. The refrigerator includes a body having a cold storage room and a freezer room, an evaporator provided to the body to generate cold air, a plurality of racks partitioning each of the cold storage and freezer rooms into a plurality of chambers, and at least one adjustment device provided to each rear portion of the racks, the at least one adjustment device configured to adjust a quantity of the cold air supplied to each of the chambers.

The present invention relates to a heat exchanger in a refrigerator having a simple structure and an improved heat exchange performance. For this, the present invention includes refrigerant tubes () having a plurality of straight parts () and a plurality of curved parts () connected between the straight parts arrange to form one or more columns perpendicular to each other, a plurality of straight plate type fins () fitted to the straight parts () of the refrigerant tubes () by means of a plurality of through holes () formed therein to form one or more than columns along a length direction, and one pair of reinforcing plates () fitted to the straight parts of the refrigerant tubes on both sides of the fins, wherein ST=D/N, where D denotes a width of the reinforcing plate (), ST denotes a distance between centers of the refrigerant tube in each column, N denotes a number of the columns of the refrigerant tubes ().

Heat exchanger for refrigerator

A heat exchanger is provided for a refrigerator and includes one or more refrigerant tubes for refrigerant flow, and a plurality of straight fins having lengths different from each other fitted to the refrigerant tubes at fixed intervals in parallel to each other by means of through holes formed therein. The heat exchanger includes sections having different intervals or spaces between fins, wherein sections with the smallest fin spaces have a size 75% or less of a total size of the heat exchanger.
