Abstract:
A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet in which a storage space is formed; a main evaporator which is installed at one side of an inner portion of the storage space to cool the storage space; a case which is installed on the other side of the inner portion of the storage space and defines a deep-freezing storage chamber; a drawer which is accommodated in the case so as to be retractable and withdrawable and in which food is stored; and a rapid cooling module which is provided on a rear side of the inner portion of the case and rapidly cools the deep-freezing storage chamber, in which the rapid cooling module includes an auxiliary evaporator in which a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant flow, and a thermoelectric device which is installed so that an exothermic surface is attached to the surface of the auxiliary evaporator and an endothermic surface faces the drawer, thereby cooling the deep-freezing storage chamber.
