A refrigerator is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a cabinet comprising a storage chamber, a cold air generation chamber provided above the storage chamber, an evaporator provided in the cold air generation chamber, and a refrigerant tube configured to pass through a predetermined wall of the cold air generation chamber, not passing the storage chamber, to be connected with the evaporator. An object of the present disclosure is to provide a refrigerator which has an efficient installation structure of a refrigerant tube connected with an evaporator provided in a cold air generation chamber provided above a storage chamber to enlarge storage space of the storage chamber.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator includes a cabinet comprising a storage compartment An evaporator is positioned at an upper portion of the cabinet and generates cold air supplied to the storage compartment. A unit (e.g., closable damper) controls supply of cold air generated by the evaporator to the storage compartment.

Refrigerator having cold air generating compartment and machine room positioned at upper portion of cabinet

Disclosed is a refrigerator in which a cool air generation chamber and a machine room are disposed in the upper portion of a main body of the refrigerator, and a structure of a cover grill disposed in front of the cool air generation chamber and the machine room is changed, thereby achieving stable heat radiation of the machine room and efficient operation of the refrigerator.

A refrigerator, in which a main body includes a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber. A cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber is provided on an uppermost part of the main body, communicates with the freezing chamber, and houses a freezing chamber evaporator. A cold air generation chamber for the refrigerating chamber is provided separate from the cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber and houses a refrigerating chamber evaporator.

A refrigerator includes an air guide that is provided with a defrost water hole and that is inclined toward the defrost water hole. The air guide guides cold air discharged from the cold air fan to a guide duct and also guides, to the defrost water hole, defrost water generated at the cold air fan.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a plurality of storage compartments and a cold air generating compartment provided in an upper portion of the cabinet. The cold air generating compartment is in communication with the plurality of the storage compartments and houses a plurality of evaporators, with each evaporator corresponding to a particular storage compartment in the cabinet.

Refrigerator related technology

A refrigerator, in which an evaporator and a cold air fan are horizontally arranged in a cold air generating compartment positioned at an upper portion of the refrigerator. The evaporator and the cold air fan extend along a depth of the refrigerator in forward and rearward directions of the refrigerator.

A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator may include first and second refrigerant paths that separately distribute refrigerant, a first cooling chamber connected with a first cold air duct, a second cooling chamber connected with a second cold air duct, and a third cooling chamber connected with a third cold air duct. Cold air generated by a first evaporator is provided to the first cold air duct to cool the first cooling chamber, cold air generated by a second evaporator, which receives refrigerant from the first evaporator, is provided to the second cold air duct to provide concentrated cooling to the second cooling chamber, and cold air generated by a third evaporator is provided to the third cold air duct to cool the third cooling chamber.

Refrigerator and method of controlling the same

A defroster is provided in a refrigerator, in which a damper mounted to an inlet to a circulating duct controls air to flow in a reverse direction toward an evaporator to maximize a defrosting efficiency by using not only radiant heat but also convective heat. The defroster includes the evaporator, a heater that defrosts the evaporator by radiation, and a flow controller that controls air circulated by a fan to flow in a reverse direction toward the evaporator in defrosting.

Defrosting apparatus of refrigerator

A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator may include a cold air generation chamber provided in a body of the refrigerator, the cold air generation chamber having an evaporator installed therein. A cold air duct may form a path through which cold air generated in the cold air generation chamber is circulated to a freezer compartment, and a quick freezer compartment. The quick freezer compartment may be connected with the cold air duct, and may be positioned substantially nearer to the evaporator than the freezer compartment. A damper may be installed in the cold air duct to selectively shut off the flow of cold air to the freezer compartment. The quick freezer compartment may be quickly cooled using cold air directly supplied from the cold air generation chamber. Furthermore, cold air may be directed into the quick freezer compartment by selectively shutting off the supply of cold air into the freezer or refrigerator compartment.

A refrigerator, in which a main body includes a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber. A cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber, a cold air generation chamber for the refrigerating chamber, and a machine room are provided on an uppermost part of the main body to allow for increased space in the refrigerating and freezing chambers.

A refrigerator including a body having a plurality of cooling compartments separated from each other by a partition, and a machine room defined by the partition in a lower region of one of the plurality of cooling compartments. The machine room receives predetermined elements required to operate the cooling compartments.

A refrigerator and a method for manufacturing the same. The refrigerator includes a main body which has a specified space and a open front surface, and a plate having a specified thickness, in which the plate is inserted into the main body through one side of the open front surface of the main body to sectionalize the space provided in the main body.

Refrigerator and method of manufacturing the same

A refrigerator having a body defined with a plurality of cooling compartments, a plate arranged to partition the cooling compartments, and a cold air supplier arranged at one wall of the plate, to supply a cold air to at least one of the cooling compartments.

A refrigerator including a bulkhead partitioning an inner space of the refrigerator, a duct part provided to the bulkhead to guide a cold air to the inner space of the refrigerator, at least one rack configured to divide the inner space partitioned by the bulkhead into sub-spaces, the at least one rack configured to support an object to be stored, and at least one support part provided in one of the bulkhead and the duct part to support the rack.
