The refrigeration unit is fluidly coupled to an airflow management system that is in fluid communication with the airflow outlet. The airflow management system includes discharge vents and turbulence reduction vents.

A refrigerator is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a cabinet including a storage compartment, a cool air supply means configured to operate to supply cool air to the storage compartment, a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the storage compartment, and a controller configured to control an output of the cool air supply means based on a difference between a set temperature and a current temperature sensed by the temperature sensor and increase or decrease in temperature of the storage compartment sensed by the temperature sensor at a predetermined time interval.

The present invention discloses an air duct shielding device and an air-cooled refrigerator; the air duct shielding device includes: a fan base having a plurality of air outlets; a first adjusting part having a rotary disc portion and a plurality of first shielding sheets arranged at intervals, the first adjusting part being configured to controllably rotate around an axis of the rotary disc portion; and a second adjusting part provided between the first adjusting part and the fan base, the second adjusting part having a plurality of second shielding sheets arranged at intervals; wherein when the first adjusting part rotates around the axis of the rotary disc portion, the second adjusting part is driven to rotate, such that the first shielding sheet and/or the second shielding sheet completely shield(s), partially shield(s) or completely expose(s) each air outlet, thereby adjusting an air outlet area of each of the plural air outlets.

A control method for a refrigerator includes sensing a temperature of a storage room; operating a cool air supply at a cooling power when the sensed temperature of the storage room is equal to or above a first reference temperature; operating the cool air supply at a delay power, which is less than the cooling power, when the sensed temperature of the storage room is equal to or below a second reference temperature, which is less than the first reference temperature while the cool air supply is operating at the cooling power; and adjusting the cooling power or the delay power of the cool air supply according to the temperature of the storage room while the cool air supply is operating at the delay power, and operating the cool air supply at the determined adjusted cooling power or delay power.

A vacuum adiabatic body and a refrigerator are provided. The vacuum adiabatic body includes a support that maintains a vacuum space between a first plate and a second plate. The support includes a first support plate provided by coupling at least two partial plates to support one of the first plate or the second plate, and a second support plate that supports the other one of the first plate or the second plate.

A refrigerator includes an inner case defining a storage chamber, a door disposed at a front portion of the inner case and defining a storage space therein, a cool air distribution device disposed inside the inner case and defining a box inlet portion configured to receive cool air, a multi-duct disposed in the inner case and defining discharge holes configured to discharge a first portion of cool air in the cool air distribution device to the storage chamber, and a duct assembly that extends from the cool air distribution device toward the door and that is configured to carry a second portion of cool air in the cool air distribution device. The inner case defines a case inlet at the front portion of the inner case, and the case inlet is configured to communicate with the duct assembly and supply the second portion of cool air to the storage chamber.

A under counter refrigerator includes a main body defining at least one of a first and second storage compartments, an evaporator to generate cool air to be supplied to the at least one of the first and second storage compartments, and a machine room provided at a lower portion of the main body to define an installation space in which a compressor and a condenser are provided. The machine room includes a suction portion provided in front of the main body to suction outside air into the machine room, a discharge portion provided in front of the main body to discharge the suctioned air in the machine room, a guide wall to separate the installation space into a first space in which the condenser is installed, and a second space in which the compressor is installed. A condensation fan is installed at the guide wall, the condenser is provided in a front portion of the first space, a defrosting water tray is provided at a rear of the condenser, and the condensation fan is disposed on one side of the defrost water tray.

A refrigeration device capable of chilling beverage ingredients and accessories is disclosed. The refrigeration device may include a first compartment that defines a first open top area, a second compartment that defines a second open top area, and a wall disposed between the first and second compartments. The refrigeration device may further include a controller configured to control the temperature in at least one of the first and second compartments, a temperature regulator configured to adjust a thermal communication between the first and second compartments, and a lid assembly movable between an opened and a closed position.

A fan assembly for use in an appliance provided with a housing including a first sidewall forming a first outlet and a second outlet, a fan disposed in the housing and configured to expel cooled air through the first outlet and the second outlet to a number of compartments of the appliance, a damper including an annular rim and a second sidewall extending from at least a portion of the annular rim, the damper configured to rotate to completely or partially cover the first outlet, the second outlet, or the first outlet and the second outlet, and a wiper including a main body disposed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall and configured to block the cooled air from traveling between the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

A fan assembly including a housing, an impeller, a first damper member, a second damper member, and an actuation assembly. The housing defining a number of outlets and the impeller being configured to rotate about a rotational axis to direct air towards the number of outlets. The first damper member at least partially extending circumferentially about the impeller and the second damper member at least partially extend circumferentially about the impeller. The actuation assembly is configured to selectively rotate the first damper member and/or the second damper member to partially block, completely block or completely open the number of outlets.
