The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator with an improved structure capable of improving cooling efficiency. A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a main body; a storage room formed in the main body, wherein a front part of the storage room is opened; a door configured to open or close the opened front part of the storage room; an evaporator installed in a back part of the storage room; an evaporator cover configured to partition the storage room into a storage area and a cool air generating area in which the evaporator is disposed; a first flow path formed between the evaporator and a back surface of the storage room; and a second flow path formed between the evaporator and the evaporator cover.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet, an evaporator, an evaporator cover module defining an evaporator cover module, a cold air supply module configured to communicate with an upper end of the evaporator cover module, the cold air supply module including a discharge port, and a blower fan. The cold air supply module includes a lower passage configured to communicate with the evaporator cover module, and an upper passage configured to communicate with the discharge port. The cold air supply module defines a communication hole at a position where the upper passage and the lower passage overlap each other, and the blower fan is located at the communication hole to cause suction of cold air from the heat-exchange space and discharge of cold air to the discharge port.

A refrigerating appliance includes an evaporator for providing cooled air to a refrigerating compartment. An air tower defines an air channel for directing the cooled air from the evaporator to the refrigerating compartment. A plurality of air-directing guide vanes is positioned within the air tower and proximate a top of the air channel. The air directing guide vanes direct the cooled air from the air channel to define redirected air that is delivered in a direction toward an upper cool-air slot defined within the air tower. The redirected air from the air-directing guide vanes travels through the upper cool-air slot at substantially the same velocity as the cooled air entering the air-directing guide vanes. The redirected air is directed through the upper cool-air slot and toward at least one upper corner of the refrigerating compartment.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage compartment and a door movably coupled to the cabinet for providing selective access to at least a portion of the storage compartment. The refrigerator includes an evaporator unit and an air duct providing fluid communication between the evaporator unit and the storage compartment. The refrigerator includes a partition member coupled to the cabinet that divides the storage compartment into a first compartment having a first volume and a second compartment having a second volume. The partition member is movable between a first position and a second position to adjust the first and second volumes. The partition member can include an air channel extending through the partition member that is in fluid communication with at least one of the first and second compartments. The partition member can include a baffle member that is adjustable to adjustably direct air passing through the air channel.

A refrigerator and a method of control thereof, whereby after driving of a compressor and a blower fan is stopped as temperatures of a refrigeration compartment and a freezer compartment are in a satisfactory state, opening/closing operations of a damper are repeatedly performed, so that cold air in the freezer compartment is supplied into the refrigeration compartment. Alternatively, if the temperature of the refrigeration compartment reaches an upper limit temperature, the repeated opening/closing operations of the damper are started. The repeated opening/closing operations of the damper are performed until the temperature of the refrigeration compartment reaches a lower limit temperature, so that a cooling operation of the refrigeration compartment is performed only once while the compressor is being driven.

This cold storage is provided with: a first sliding door that opens/closes a cold chamber; a second sliding door that opens/closes the cold chamber, and is positioned between the cold chamber and the first sliding door when the cold chamber is fully open; a compressor disposed at a position that becomes closer to the closed end of the second sliding door than the closed end of the first sliding door when the cold chamber is fully closed; a fan that generates air flow passing the surroundings of the compressor; and a housing that accommodates the compressor, and has formed therein a blow port for blowing out the air flow toward the first sliding door and the second sliding door.

A cooling system having a cooling chamber including a surface defining one or more openings. A surface is configured to hold at least one container. An access door provides access to the cooling chamber. A refrigeration system is configured to cool the cooling chamber by forcing cool airflow through the one or more openings in the surface. The airflow through each of the one or more openings may be similar.

A refrigerator includes a blower fan assembly having a cold air introduction hole configured to be open toward a storage compartment, and the blower fan assembly is located behind the front surface of an evaporator. Due to the structure of the refrigerator, cold air passing through the evaporator may efficiently flow to the cold air introduction hole of the blower fan assembly, and the flow resistance of the cold air may be reduced, so consumption efficiency may be improved.

A refrigerator includes a top cover which separates a storage liner on a bottommost portion into a storage space located on an upper portion and a cooling space located on a lower portion. At least one return air hood is arranged at a front end of the top cover, the cooling space is jointly defined by the return air hood, the top cover and a bottom wall of the storage liner, and an evaporator is arranged in the cooling space. The return air hood includes a return air frame located on a front side and a return air rear cover inserted into the return air frame from an open rear end of the return air frame. The return air rear cover is arranged to separate a first opening formed in a front wall face of the return air frame into a first front return air inlet located on an upper portion and a second front return air inlet located on a lower portion, so that the visual attractiveness is achieved, and the fingers of children or foreign matter can be effectively prevented from entering the cooling space. In addition, due to two return air areas distributed vertically, return air can flow through the evaporator more evenly after entering the cooling space, the problem that a front end face of the evaporator is prone to frosting can be avoided to a certain degree, the heat exchange efficiency can be improved, the defrosting period can be prolonged, and energy conservation and high efficiency are achieved.

A refrigerated display case includes a duct for directing an air stream, an air curtain discharge, an advance discharge opening, and an air curtain return. The air curtain discharge is coupled to the duct to discharge the air stream to produce an air curtain. The advance discharge opening is coupled to the duct upstream of the air curtain discharge to produce an auxiliary air stream directed towards the air curtain, forming a redirected air curtain. The air curtain return receives the redirected air curtain for recirculation to the duct.
