A refrigerator comprises: a refrigerator body (), at the interior of which a cooling chamber () and at least one storage space are confined, wherein the cooling chamber () is arranged at the bottom of the refrigerator body () and below the storage space; door bodies () arranged on a front surface of the refrigerator body () to operably open and close the storage space; and an evaporator (), which is wholly horizontally placed in the shape of a flat cube in the cooling chamber () and configured to provide cold energy to the storage space, wherein a bottom wall of the cooling chamber () below the evaporator () is provided with a water pan () to receive condensate water generated by the evaporator (), and the bottom of the water pan () is provided with compensation heating wires ().

Refrigerator

A refrigerator includes a lowermost storage liner, an evaporator, an air supply duct, and at least one air supply fan. A storage compartment and a cooling chamber positioned under the storage compartment are defined in the storage liner. The evaporator is disposed in the cooling chamber and is configured to cool air passing through the evaporator so as to form cooling air supplied to the storage compartment. The air supply duct is disposed in a space defined by the storage liner and is configured to convey the cooling air cooled by the evaporator to the storage compartment. The air supply fan is disposed in the air supply duct and is configured to promote air circulation between the cooling chamber and the storage compartment.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet, in which a cooling chamber and at least one storage space are defined, the cooling chamber being arranged at the bottom of the cabinet and directly below the storage space; a door body, which is arranged on a front surface of the cabinet so as to operably open and close the storage space; an evaporator, which is wholly horizontally placed in the cooling chamber in the shape of a flat cube, and is configured to provide cooling capacity to the storage space; and a liquid storage bag, which is arranged in the cooling chamber and connected to the evaporator. An included angle between a center line of the liquid storage bag and a horizontal line is 1° to 89°. A foam layer and a housing of the refrigerator may block the sound transmission of flow of a liquid refrigerant, to achieve a good sound insulation effect.

A refrigerator () includes: a cabinet (), in which are defined a cooling chamber () at a lower portion and a first storage compartment and a second storage compartment which are spaced side by side above the cooling chamber (); and an evaporator, arranged in the cooling chamber () and configured to cool an airflow entering the cooling chamber () to form a cooled airflow. At least one first return air inlet communicated with the cooling chamber () is formed in a left sidewall of the first storage compartment such that a return airflow of the first storage compartment enters the cooling chamber () to be cooled via the first return air inlet. At least one second return air inlet communicated with the cooling chamber () is formed in a right sidewall of the second storage compartment such that a return airflow of the second storage compartment enters the cooling chamber () to be cooled via the second return air inlet. The available compartment volume of the refrigerator is increased, and the return air inlets communicated with the cooling chamber () are formed in left and right sidewalls of the cabinet respectively.
