A connecting duct was provided along with a shelf or a storage box mounted at the bottom of the compartment to deliver refrigerated air from the providing duct to the door duct.

Refrigerated air supply apparatus for refrigerator

A refrigerator includes a fresh food compartment, a freezer compartment defined by inner walls and an outer case respectively, an insulation barrier separating the compartments, and doors for providing access to the compartments. A passageway is formed in the barrier for providing refrigerated air to the fresh food compartment. A connecting duct diverges from the passageway and extends forwardly towards the front portion of the fresh food compartment. A door duct communicating with the connecting duct when the door is closed is coupled to the door. As a result, the fresh food compartment and door-adjacent portions of the fresh food compartment are promptly and uniformly cooled.

A cold air circulation device and method for a refrigerator, the refrigerator including a refrigerating compartment, a first door for providing access to the refrigerating compartment, a freezing compartment, a second door for providing access to the freezing compartment, and a cold air supply unit for supplying a cold air to the refrigerating and freezing compartments. The air circulation device and method include a first door duct formed within the first door, the first door duct including at least one inlet formed at a lower portion of the first door for receiving a circulated air from the refrigerating compartment, and an outlet formed at an upper portion of the first door for outputting the air from the inlet to the cold air supply unit.
