The refrigerator includes a vegetable compartment () thermally insulated by a rear partition (), and a mist generation department () for atomizing a mist into the vegetable compartment (), and the mist generation department () includes a atomizing electrode () for atomizing the mist into the vegetable compartment (), a voltage applicator () for applying a voltage to the atomizing electrode (), and a cooling pin () coupled to the atomizing electrode (), in which the atomizing electrode () is cooled to a temperature lower than the dew point by a outlet air-duct for freezer compartment (), and the moisture in the air is cooled to condense dew on the atomizing electrode (), and is atomized as a mist into the vegetable compartment (), and dew can be condensed from moisture onto the atomizing electrode () stably and in a simple configuration, and the freshness of the food is enhanced while the reliability of the refrigerator is enhanced.

Refrigerator, and electric device

Respective evaporators are set to a proper value in evaporation temperature and the efficiency in refrigeration cycle is enhanced, resulting in a reduction of energy consumption. A refrigerating unit and a refrigerator comprise a compressor, a condenser, a plurality of evaporators connected in series, a refrigerant flow rate adjustable unit and a refrigerant, thereby constituting a refrigeration cycle. The refrigerant flow rate adjustable unit controls each respective evaporation temperature of the plurality of evaporators. Preferably, the refrigeration unit further comprises a bypass circuit bypassing at least one of the plurality of evaporators and, when needs arise, the refrigerant is channeled through the bypass circuit. The refrigerant flow rate adjustable unit controls a flow rate of the refrigerant such that an evaporation temperature of the respective evaporators located at the upstream side of the refrigeration cycle is made higher than an evaporation temperature of the respective evaporators located at the downstream side thereof.
