Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a body, first and second storage compartments, first and second refrigerating units to cool the first and second storage compartments, and a heat exchanger to individually condense first and second refrigerants of the first and second refrigerating units and a second refrigerant of the second refrigerating unit. The heat exchanger includes first and second headers each having an opening formed in the outer wall, a tube inserted into the first and second headers through the openings, and a baffle disposed in the internal space of the first header so as to partition off the internal space of the first header. The tube includes a plurality of channels spaced apart from each other by a predetermined gap, and the baffle blocks at least one of the plurality of channels.
