The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator and, more particularly, to a refrigerator including a single module or multiple modules, each having multiple rooms. An embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a refrigerator including multiple refrigerator modules, each refrigerator module including: a cabinet forming the exterior thereof and having multiple storage chambers provided therein; doors provided in the cabinet so as to correspond to the storage chambers, respectively; a radiative cooling plate provided so as to form the rear wall of each storage chamber and to block a flow of air between the interior of each storage chamber and the interior of another storage chamber, the radiative cooling plate cooling the interior of each storage chamber through radiative cooling; a cold-air circulation channel positioned behind the radiative cooling plate so as to supply cold air for exchanging heat with the radiative cooling plate; and a machine chamber for discharging cold air to the cold-air circulation channel and suctioning cold air that has exchanged heat with the radiative cooling plate.

The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator including one or more modules having a plurality of rooms. An embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a refrigerator including a plurality of refrigerator modules, wherein the refrigerator modules include: a cabinet forming an outer shape and having a plurality of storage chambers therein; doors provided in the cabinet and provided for each storage chamber; a radiant cooling plate which forms the rear wall of the storage chambers, and is provided to block the communication of air between the inner portions of the storage chambers and cool the inner portions of the storage chambers through radiant cooling; a refrigerant pipe flow path located at the rear side of the radiant cooling plate to exchange heat with the radiant cooling plate; and a machine room which discharges the refrigerant to the refrigerant pipe flow path and sucks the refrigerant having exchanged heat with the radiant cooling plate.

Refrigerator including module having plurality of storage chambers

Provided is a vacuum adiabatic body. The vacuum adiabatic body includes a conductive resistance sheet configured to connect the first plate to the second plate so as to reduce a heat transfer amount between the first plate and the second plate and a cover assembly configured to cover the conductive resistance sheet. The cover assembly includes an inner cover configured to protect an inside, an outer cover configured to protect an outside, and a front cover configured to protect a front side. The front cover is thicker than the plate. The protection of the conductive resistance sheet and the improvement of the adiabatic effect may be obtained.

Vacuum adiabatic body and refrigerator

A vehicle, a refrigerator for a vehicle, and a method for controlling a refrigerator for a vehicle are provided. The method for controlling the refrigerator for the vehicle includes turning on a switch of the refrigerator for the vehicle, measuring a temperature of an interior of the refrigerator for the vehicle a first time, measuring a temperature of the interior of the refrigerator for the vehicle again a second time after a predetermined time has elapsed from the first time, determining a temperature change of the interior of the refrigerator from the first time to the second time, and operating the refrigerator for the vehicle in a quench mode in which the temperature in the interior of the refrigerator is rapidly lowered, unlike a normal mode, if the temperature change in the interior of the refrigerator is in a positive direction.
