Abstract:
Evaporator in a refrigerator, is disclosed, which has the refrigerant tube, cooling fins and the defrosting tube formed as one unit for simple structure and a better heat exchange efficiency, the evaporator including one pair of refrigerant tubes for flow of refrigerant therethrough, a defrosting tube disposed between the two refrigerant tubes, cooling fins formed as one unit with, and connecting the refrigerant tubes and the defrosting tube, turbulence forming means adapted to form a turbulence of air in a process of flowing around the evaporator for improving the heat exchange efficiency, internal heat conduction area enlarging means adapted to enlarge an internal area of the refrigerant tubes for improving the heat exchange efficiency, and external heat conduction area enlarging means adapted to enlarge an external area of the refrigerant tubes for improving the heat exchange efficiency.
Abstract:
A refrigerator is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a cabinet comprising a storage chamber, a cold air generation chamber provided above the storage chamber, an evaporator provided in the cold air generation chamber, and a refrigerant tube configured to pass through a predetermined wall of the cold air generation chamber, not passing the storage chamber, to be connected with the evaporator. An object of the present disclosure is to provide a refrigerator which has an efficient installation structure of a refrigerant tube connected with an evaporator provided in a cold air generation chamber provided above a storage chamber to enlarge storage space of the storage chamber.
Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a plurality of storage compartments and a cold air generating compartment provided in an upper portion of the cabinet. The cold air generating compartment is in communication with the plurality of the storage compartments and houses a plurality of evaporators, with each evaporator corresponding to a particular storage compartment in the cabinet.
Abstract:
A refrigerator, in which an evaporator and a cold air fan are horizontally arranged in a cold air generating compartment positioned at an upper portion of the refrigerator. The evaporator and the cold air fan extend along a depth of the refrigerator in forward and rearward directions of the refrigerator.
Abstract:
A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator may include first and second refrigerant paths that separately distribute refrigerant, a first cooling chamber connected with a first cold air duct, a second cooling chamber connected with a second cold air duct, and a third cooling chamber connected with a third cold air duct. Cold air generated by a first evaporator is provided to the first cold air duct to cool the first cooling chamber, cold air generated by a second evaporator, which receives refrigerant from the first evaporator, is provided to the second cold air duct to provide concentrated cooling to the second cooling chamber, and cold air generated by a third evaporator is provided to the third cold air duct to cool the third cooling chamber.
Abstract:
A defroster is provided in a refrigerator, in which a damper mounted to an inlet to a circulating duct controls air to flow in a reverse direction toward an evaporator to maximize a defrosting efficiency by using not only radiant heat but also convective heat. The defroster includes the evaporator, a heater that defrosts the evaporator by radiation, and a flow controller that controls air circulated by a fan to flow in a reverse direction toward the evaporator in defrosting.
Abstract:
A refrigerator, in which a main body includes a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber. A cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber, a cold air generation chamber for the refrigerating chamber, and a machine room are provided on an uppermost part of the main body to allow for increased space in the refrigerating and freezing chambers.
Abstract:
A refrigerator, in which a guide member is arranged at an inlet of a cold air generating compartment that houses an evaporator. The guide member uniformly distributes cold air introduced into the cold air generating compartment to upper and lower portions of the evaporator.
Abstract:
A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator may include a cold air generation chamber provided in a body of the refrigerator, the cold air generation chamber having an evaporator installed therein. A cold air duct may form a path through which cold air generated in the cold air generation chamber is circulated to a freezer compartment, and a quick freezer compartment. The quick freezer compartment may be connected with the cold air duct, and may be positioned substantially nearer to the evaporator than the freezer compartment. A damper may be installed in the cold air duct to selectively shut off the flow of cold air to the freezer compartment. The quick freezer compartment may be quickly cooled using cold air directly supplied from the cold air generation chamber. Furthermore, cold air may be directed into the quick freezer compartment by selectively shutting off the supply of cold air into the freezer or refrigerator compartment.
Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a cabinet comprising a storage compartment An evaporator is positioned at an upper portion of the cabinet and generates cold air supplied to the storage compartment. A unit (e.g., closable damper) controls supply of cold air generated by the evaporator to the storage compartment.
