Disclosed herein is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a refrigerating compartment that is divided into a refrigerating section formed on an upper side thereof and an alternate temperature section formed on a lower side thereof, a cold air supply unit that includes a cold air flow path formed on a rear side of the refrigerating compartment and a refrigerating compartment circulation fan for allowing cold air of the cold air flow path to flow, and a control unit that controls the refrigerating compartment circulation fan. Here, the control unit cools the refrigerating section by turning on the refrigerating compartment circulation fan, and causes deflection of the cold air of the cold air flow path to cool the alternate temperature section by turning off the refrigerating compartment circulation fan.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator has a flow path structure formed by a heat-exchanger. The refrigerator includes storage compartments, and a cool air supplying unit provided at a rear of the storage compartments to supply cool air at the storage compartments, and the cool air supplying unit includes a heat-exchanger to divide a flow path at which cool air is provided to flow along the cool air supplying unit.

A refrigerator having a temperature-controlled chamber, which stores food to be readily cooked without a thawing process. A cool air inlet port introduces cool air from the freezer compartment into the temperature-controlled chamber. The cool air inlet port is opened or closed by an intake damper. A cooling fan and a temperature sensor are installed in the temperature-controlled chamber. A cool air discharging duct is provided to guide the cool air from the temperature-controlled chamber into the freezer compartment. An inlet of the cool air discharging duct is connected to a portion of the temperature-controlled chamber. A heater is mounted to an outer surface of the outlet of the cool air discharging duct to perform a defrosting operation.
