A refrigerator including a main body, a storage compartment provided in the main body and having an open front side, a storage box configured to be drawn out or put into the storage compartment and having a storage space therein, a cold air duct provided at the rear of the storage compartment and including a cold air outlet to allow cold air to be discharged into the storage space, a partition disposed in the storage box to divide the storage space into a fresh room and a vegetable room and to be movable in the left and right directions in the storage space, and a cold air adjusting member configured to be moved in the left and right directions together with the partition to adjust a size of the cold air outlet and to stay connected to the partition when the storage box is drawn out.

A shelf for a domestic refrigeration appliance includes an upper cover plate, a lower cover plate and a frame in which the cover plates are disposed. An intermediate space is formed between the cover plates as a thermally insulated space. A channel for conducting media is provided in the frame separately from the intermediate space. A domestic refrigeration appliance having the shelf is also provided.

An aseptic ice making system includes an ice making system to receive water from a water supply. The ice making system includes an ice producing subsystem to produce ice and a positive air pressure subsystem to maintain a positive air pressure environment within the ice making system.

A refrigerator may include a cabinet having a freezer compartment. An evaporator supplies cold air to the freezer compartment and an evaporator cover covers the evaporator. The evaporator cover has a supercooling passage for flowing some of cold air that has exchanged heat through the evaporator to a supercooling compartment of the freezer compartment. A cold air duct directs the other of the cold air that has exchanged heat through the evaporator to a top storage space over the supercooling compartment. A cold air guide device guides cold air in the cold air duct to a bottom storage space under the supercooling compartment.

A refrigerator includes a body including at least one storage space having a front opening and formed with a cooling module accommodating space, a door configured to open and close the storage space, and a cooling module accommodated in the cooling module accommodating space. The cooling module may include a heat radiating part, a heat absorption part, and a cooling module barrier configured to separate the heat radiating part and the heat absorption part. The heat radiating part may include a compressor that compresses refrigerant, a condenser that condenses the refrigerant compressed by the compressor and a condenser fan that blows outdoor air to the condenser, the heat radiating part being disposed eccentrically on one of lateral sides of the cooling module. The heat absorption part including an evaporator that evaporates refrigerant and an evaporator fan that circulates cold air of the storage space to the evaporator and the storage space, the heat absorption being disposed at a lateral side of the heat radiating part. Therefore, it is possible to enable easy connection between the compressor and the evaporator and facilitate each assembly and services such as repair.

A blower having improved efficiency by minimizing a distance between an end of a blade and a cold air suction hole, and a refrigerator including the blower includes a body having a storage compartment including a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment, an evaporator provided behind the storage compartment and configured to generate cold air, and the blower configured to supply the cold air generated by the evaporator into the freezer compartment, wherein the blower includes a suction member having a cold air suction hole and a fan unit configured to supply cold air introduced through the cold air suction hole into the freezer compartment, and having an interference prevention portion separated from the suction member to prevent interference with the suction member, and a water repellent portion treated with a water repellent is provided on a surface of the suction member adjacent to the interference prevention portion.

Provided is a vacuum adiabatic body. The vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate member defining at least a portion of a wall for a first space, a second plate member defining at least a portion of a wall for a second space having a temperature different from the first space, a sealing part sealing the first plate member and the second plate member to provide a third space that has a temperature between the temperature of the first space and the temperature of the second space and is in a vacuum state, a supporting unit maintaining the third space, a heat resistance unit reducing an amount of heat transferred between the first plate member and the second plate member, a port through which air in the third space is discharged, and a heat exchange module coming into contact with an inner surface of a cavity provided by the first plate member and the second plate member so as to perform heat exchange.

An aseptic ice making system includes an ice making system to receive water from a water supply. The ice making system includes an ice producing subsystem to produce ice and a positive air pressure subsystem to maintain a positive air pressure environment within the ice making system.

A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: an inner case having a storage chamber; a thermoelectric module configured to cool the storage chamber and including a thermoelectric element and a cooling sink; a fan configured to circulate air, which has exchanged heat with the cooling sink, to the storage chamber; a fan cover configured to cover the fan and having an upper discharge hole, a lower discharge hole, and an inner suction hole formed between the upper discharge hole and the lower discharge hole; a first receiving member disposed in the storage chamber; and a second receiving member disposed over the first receiving member to be spaced apart from the first receiving member. At least a portion of each of the inner suction hole and the lower discharge hole may face a portion between the first receiving member and the second receiving member, and at least a portion of the upper discharge hole may face a portion between a top surface of the storage chamber and the second receiving member.

A vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate, a second plate, a sealing part that seals the first plate and the second plate to provide a space that has a predetermined temperature and is in a vacuum state, a support maintaining the space, a heat resistance unit reducing an amount of heat transferred between the first plate and the second plate, a port through which air in the third is discharged, and a heat exchange module coming into contact with an inner surface of a cavity provided by the first plate member and the second plate member so as to perform heat exchange.
