A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a first storage compartment and a second storage compartment that is positioned vertically below the first storage compartment, a receiving drawer configured to be received into the second storage compartment, a mullion that partitions the first storage compartment from the second storage compartment, and an access cover configured to selectively open or close the access hole. The receiving drawer includes a receiving door configured to open and close the second storage compartment and a receiving box provided on a back surface of the receiving door. The mullion defines an access hole that allows fluid communication between the first and second storage compartments.

A refrigerator includes: an outer case; an inner case; an evaporator; a partition detachably mounted inside the inner case to define a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment below the refrigerating compartment; a cold air duct at the rear of the partition, the cold air duct being configured to guide cold air inside the inner case; and a cold air connector connected to the cold air duct from an outside of the inner case, the cold air connector being configured to deliver the cold air inside the refrigerating compartment to the evaporator. The cold air duct includes: a first discharge hole; a second discharge hole; and a return flow path extending from the refrigerating compartment to the cold air connector.

A bottom-freezer refrigerator has an ice making compartment formed in a door thereof. Cold air formed in independent spaces of the refrigerating compartment is individually guided to the ice making compartment and the refrigerating compartment, thereby reducing power consumption and noise to be caused as the length of a fluid passage is increased. Foods are refrigerated or frozen and stored in a clean state. The foods in the refrigerating compartment are freshly stored in a high moisture state, and the door is prevented from being forcibly open.

A ripening compartment for a refrigerator and a refrigerator having the same. The ripening compartment for a refrigerator includes a drawer provided in a cabinet of the refrigerator in a drawable mode, an upper end of the drawer being open to form a top opening for taking and placing foods, and a rear wall plate of the drawer including an air outlet and an air return port; an upper cover plate provided above the drawer, and closing the top opening of the drawer and defining a ripening space together with the drawer when the drawer is completely pushed into the cabinet; and an air flow circulation assembly provided on a rear side of the rear wall plate of the drawer and prompting air flow to enter the ripening space through the air outlet and be blown out from the air return port.

The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator and a fan assembly for a refrigerator. In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, there may be provided a refrigerator, including a main body having one or more storage spaces, one or more doors configured to open or close at least part of the one or more storage spaces, a cool air supply device configured to supply cool air to maintain the storage space at a predetermined temperature, food storage separators configured to partition the one or more storage spaces and store food, and a fan assembly in the one or more storage spaces configured to circulate air in the one or more storage spaces.

A refrigerator according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a main body; a first storage chamber and a second storage chamber provided in the main body so that the front surfaces thereof are opened; an evaporator which is disposed inside the main body and which generates cold air; a first duct for supplying the cold air to the first storage chamber; a second duct for supplying the cold air to the second storage chamber; and a connecting duct for connecting the first duct and the second duct so as to allow the cold air generated by the evaporator to flow to the second duct, wherein the second duct includes a connecting port connected to the connecting duct, a discharge port through which the cold air is discharged, a discharge path for connecting the connecting port and the discharge port, and a connecting path for connecting the inside of the second storage chamber and the discharge path, the discharge path includes a minimum region in which the cross sectional area thereof in a vertical direction or a longitudinal direction is minimized, and the connecting path is provided to connect the inside of the second storage chamber and the minimum region.

A refrigeration system includes a refrigerator that may contain a beverage. The refrigerator includes a cooling unit and a plurality of fans. A rotating unit is positioned within the refrigerator. The rotating unit supports the beverage thereby facilitating the rotating unit to rotate the beverage. A control is coupled to the refrigerator and the control is in communication with the cooling unit and each of the fans. The control controls operational parameters of the cooling unit and the fans. A distribution unit is positioned within the refrigerator and the distribution unit may be submerged in the beverage. The distribution unit is selectively placed in fluid communication with the cooling unit. Thus, the distribution unit is configured to direct refrigerated air into the beverage thereby facilitating the beverage to be cooled.

Proposed is a refrigerator in which the internal air of a first storage compartment of two storage compartments whose temperatures are controlled by an evaporator is reintroduced into the evaporator by a circulating air path guide to be circulated, whereby even if an evaporator having small capacity is applied, freezing or refrigeration temperature may be freely embodied, and the circulation of cold air can be efficiently performed without interference.

A refrigerator includes: an outer case; an inner case; an evaporator; a partition detachably mounted inside the inner case to define a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment below the refrigerating compartment; a cold air duct at the rear of the partition, the cold air duct being configured to guide cold air inside the inner case; and a cold air connector connected to the cold air duct from an outside of the inner case, the cold air connector being configured to deliver the cold air inside the refrigerating compartment to the evaporator. The cold air duct includes: a first discharge hole; a second discharge hole; and a return flow path extending from the refrigerating compartment to the cold air connector.
