Abstract:
A vegetable container for a refrigerator includes a case having an opening formed at a front thereof, the case being provided with a receiving space to receive objects to be stored, a drawer to seal an interior of the case, a discharge port formed through a bottom surface of the case to discharge water from the case, a negative pressure part to lower pressure in the case, and an opening and closing valve to open and close the discharge port.
Abstract:
A refrigerator including a main body with a first storage compartment and a first evaporation compartment provided within the main body in order to cool the first storage compartment. The refrigerator also includes a second storage compartment independently provided in the first storage compartment and maintained at a temperature lower than a temperature of the first storage compartment; and a second evaporation compartment located at a rear side of the second storage compartment to cool the second storage compartment.
Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a main body in which a first storage compartment is defined, and a heat exchange chamber defined in the main body. An evaporator received in the heat exchange chamber. A second storage compartment is provided in the first storage compartment and a quick cooling module to cool an inside of the second storage compartment is provided, where the quick cooling module heat-exchanges with a refrigerant pipe of the evaporator. The quick cooling module includes a thermal conductive unit in thermal conduction with the refrigerant pipe, and a thermoelectric device having a first surface in thermal conduction with the thermal conductive unit to heat-exchange with the thermal conductive unit when current is supplied and a second surface facing the second storage compartment.

Abstract:
A refrigerating apparatus may include a main body having an interior space in which an article is accommodated, a door configured to open and close an opening of the main body, a compressor configured to compress a non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant, a condenser configured to condense the compressed non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant, a hotline provided at a contact portion between the main body and the door through which the condensed non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant flows, an expander configured to expand the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant, heat of which is radiated by the hotline, and an evaporator configured to evaporate the expanded non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant to supply cold air to the interior space. According to such structure, even when the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant is used, a function of the hotline to prevent dew formation may be normally performed with hot refrigerant.
Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a case, a drawer, and a ventilation port opening/closing member. The case has a storage space formed therein and the drawer stores food and opens and closes the storage space while being supported by the case so as to be movable with respect to the case. The ventilation port opening/closing member ventilates the storage space. Here, the drawer includes a ventilation port for ventilating the storage space, and the ventilation port opening/closing member moves in the direction as the drawer to open and close the ventilation port.
Abstract:
A vegetable container includes a case having an opening formed at a front thereof, the case being provided with a receiving space to receive objects to be stored, a drawer to seal an interior of the case, a negative pressure part lower pressure in the case, and a reinforcing part to increase strength of the case, where the reinforcing part includes a reinforcing member coupled to at least one surface of the case, located adjacent to the opening, and having greater strength than the case.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a refrigerating system using a non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant is provided. The refrigerating system may include a first evaporator configured to supply cold air to a freezer compartment located upstream and a second evaporator configured to supply cold air to a refrigerating compartment located downstream, based on a flow direction of the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant. The method may include a first operation comprising operating a compressor, a freezer compartment fan to blow air to the first evaporator, and a refrigerating compartment fan to blow air to the second evaporator; a second operation comprising when the freezer compartment reaches a target temperature or the refrigerating compartment reaches a target temperature, continuously operating the compressor, and stopping the freezer compartment fan or the refrigerating compartment fan corresponding to one of the freezer compartment or the refrigerating compartment that reaches the target temperature; and a third operation comprising when both the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment reach the target temperatures, turning off both of the refrigerating compartment fan and the freezer compartment fan and stopping the compressor.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention relates to a deep freezer. A deep freezer according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of heat exchangers installed to an inlet pipe and performing a heat exchange of a mixed refrigerant suctioned into a compressor. The mixed refrigerant comprises: a high temperature refrigerant which is one selected from among butane (N-butane), 1-butene, and isobutane; and a low temperature refrigerant consisting of ethylene.
