Abstract
A refrigerator has a main body. A compressor is provided in the bottom portion of the body, and a receiving box for housing electric appliances is arranged in the body above the compressor. A thermosiphon for conveying the heat from the compressor to the receiving box is provided in the body. The thermosiphon includes a heat receiving portion located in the vicinity of the compressor, an upper portion located in the vicinity of the receiving box, an advancing path extending from the heat receiving portion to the upper portion, and a returning path extending from the upper portion to the heat receiving portion. The upper portion is adhered to the body by a tape of aluminum foil, thereby having heat radiation efficiency higher than that of the advancing portion.
