According to an embodiment of the present invention, a refrigerator comprises: a cabinet; a grill pan assembly having a channel guiding a flow for supplying cool air to a storage space, and an outlet for discharging the cool air; and a filter device mounted on the grill pan assembly, wherein the filter device comprises a front part, a frame part for accommodating a filter member, and an LED module for emitting light at the filter member, and the filter member comprises a photocatalyst for removing pollutants or bacteria adsorbed on the filter member in response to the visible light emitted from the LED module.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet which has a storage space with an open front surface; a door which is provided in the cabinet and opens and closes the storage space; an evaporator which is provided in the cabinet; an upper duct which extends above the storage space in a front and rear direction and guides cold air from the evaporator; and a deodorizing device which is provided on the upper surface of the storage space, in which an upper discharge port is formed in the upper duct to discharge cold air at the front end of the upper surface of the storage space, and the deodorizing device is disposed adjacent to the upper discharge port to deodorize cold air discharged through the upper discharge port.

The present disclosure relates to a technique capable of being used even in an environment that needs to be maintained at a low temperature. The present disclosure may include a fan configured to generate a flow of air, an absorbing material disposed downstream from the fan and configured to absorb a malodorous substance from air passing therethrough and to desorb the malodorous substance by being heated, an upstream heater disposed downstream from the fan and upstream from the absorbing material and configured to heat air entered the absorbing material, a catalyst configured to decompose the malodorous substance desorbed from the absorbing material, and a cooler configured to cool air passed through the catalyst.

A deodorization module and a storage apparatus, the deodorization module including: a housing having one surface including a curved surface; a suction port formed on one surface of the housing to draw in external air; a fan disposed in the suction port and drawing in air; a discharge port formed on one surface of the housing to discharge the air drawn through the fan into the outside of the housing; a photocatalytic filter disposed between the fan and the discharge port and including a through hole through which air passes; and a light source module for irradiating ultraviolet rays onto the photocatalytic filter.

A filter for a refrigerator, with the filter including a housing having a main wall and a peripheral wall extending from the main wall to define a cavity. A filter body and a cooling plate may be coupled to the housing and positioned within the cavity. A cover may be coupled to the housing and have at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening spaced from the at least one inlet opening. The cover may be transitional between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the cover may extend over the cavity and define a fluid flow path from the at least one inlet opening, across the filter body, and through the at least one outlet opening. At least a portion of the cavity may be exposed as the cover transitions from the closed position toward the open position.

A deodorization module and a storage device including the deodorization module. A deodorization module includes: a housing; a suction opening formed on the lower surface of the housing to allow external air to be suctioned therethrough; a fan disposed at the suction opening to suction the air; a discharge opening for discharging the air, which has been suctioned by the fan, to the outside of the housing; a photocatalytic bar disposed between the fan and the discharge opening; and a light source module, which includes a light source substrate and an ultraviolet light source and irradiates an ultraviolet ray to the photocatalytic bar.

An inspection system includes a sealable container and a detection apparatus that detects, in accordance with an inspection operation, a substance emitted by a specimen. When the specimen and the detection apparatus are stored in the container and the inspection operation is performed, the detection apparatus stored in the container detects the substance emitted by the specimen stored in the container.

A storage apparatus according to an embodiment may include a body having a storage space of storage products and an air purifying module coupled to the body. The air purifying module may include a light emitting diode part disposed along a passage of air to provide ultraviolet light, and a filter part disposed adjacent to the light emitting diode part.

A refrigerator and a method of controlling the same are disclosed. The refrigerator and the method of controlling the same detect smell intensity generated from a foodstuff and control a deodorizing function according to the smell intensity in order to remove unpleasant smell in the refrigerator during containing the foodstuff, and rapidly remove smell even when a foodstuff is newly input to generate smell so as to reduce user displeasure and to prevent the smell from affecting other foodstuffs, thereby enhancing convenience.

A combination gas and fluid filter housing for supporting said gas and fluid filter media, having a first subassembly for supporting the gas filter media, and a second subassembly for supporting the fluid filter media, the second subassembly having ingress and egress ports at an end opposite of the first subassembly attachable to a manifold, the first and second subassemblies removably attached to one another such that the first subassembly is removable from said second subassembly to facilitate gas filter media replacement without disconnecting the second subassembly ingress and egress ports from the manifold.
