Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to pressure control in a vegetable room of a refrigerator, and particularly, to a vegetable room of a refrigerator in which pressure is controlled according to vegetable, fruit, and mixture modes. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a vegetable room of a refrigerator in which different pressures are applied according to vegetable, fruit, and mixture modes such that each pressure corresponds to storage conditions of storage items such as vegetable and fruit stored in an airtight state therein, whereby each storage item is maintained with optimal freshness. The vegetable room for keeping vegetables in storage in a refrigerator, includes: a storage chamber configured to keep food items in storage therein; a controller configured to adjust pressure within the storage chamber; and a vacuum pump configured to draw in air within the airtight storage chamber, wherein the controller may selectively adjust pressure according to a storage item kept in storage within the storage chamber, whereby the vegetable room of the refrigerator may have a plurality of operation modes.
