Air duct system and a refrigeration appliance having the same
Provided in the present application are an air duct system and a refrigeration appliance provided having the same. The air duct system comprises a drying system and a cooling system arranged in cooperation with each other, the cooling system has an evaporator and an air return port and an air supply port arranged on the two sides of the evaporator, and the drying system is disposed between the air return port and the evaporator, and comprises an air compressor and an air storage tank connected to each other; the air discharged by the air return port passes in sequence through the air compressor and the air storage tank and then flows to the evaporator, so that the air passing through the evaporator is dried, avoiding the problems of frosting and low efficiency.
REFRIGERATOR
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.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes a cold air supply duct that branches to two independent cold air supply flow paths such that the cold air supply duct supplies cold air for two independent partitioned storages.
Ice making system and air flow circulation for slimline ice compartment
A refrigerator including a refrigerator compartment; a freezer compartment; an ice compartment disposed in the refrigerator compartment; an ice maker assembly disposed in the ice compartment, the ice maker assembly including an ice maker tray/evaporator having an evaporator cooling tube which is in direct contact with the ice maker tray portion; an ice bucket for storing ice disposed in the ice compartment; and an air handler/auger motor assembly disposed at a rear portion of the ice compartment behind the ice bucket. The air handler/auger motor assembly includes an air passage having a fan disposed therein. An inlet of the fan communicates with an airflow passage under the ice maker tray/evaporator, such that the fan creates a suction and draws cool air from the ice maker tray/evaporator and discharges the cool air through the air passage and to the ice bucket to prevent any ice in the ice bucket from melting.
REFRIGERATOR
Provided is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet including an inner case defining a storage compartment, an outer case surrounding the outside of the inner case, and an insulation material provided between the inner case and the outer case, a storage compartment door opening and closing the storage compartment, a cold air duct provided in the storage compartment and disposed in an upper side of the storage compartment to discharge cold air to the storage compartment, and a guide duct disposed outside the inner case to communicate with the cold air duct and extending to the storage compartment door to guide the cold air received from the cold air duct to the storage compartment door.
Controlled blast cell cooling
A blast cell system is disclosed that includes a plurality of bays that are spaced across the blast cell, arranged to hold items to be cooled, wherein each bay is separated from each other bay so as to prevent cross-flow of air from one bay to another bay; a plurality of louvers, each covering a different bay of the plurality of bays; one or more flow sensors, temperature sensors, or both positioned to sense conditions for each of the plurality of bays; and a controller programmed to modulate open-closed positions of each of the plurality of louvers separately from others of the plurality of louvers, so as to allow different volumes of cooling air to flow through each respective bay.
BEVERAGE ZONE DUCT FOR TRIPLE EVAPORATOR REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes an outer wrapper, a fresh food compartment defined by a liner within the wrapper and separated from an interior of the outer wrapper at least along a first side wall of the fresh food compartment to define a void, and a door at least partially enclosing an opening to the fresh food compartment when in a closed position. A door compartment is positioned along the door. The refrigerator further includes an evaporator compartment positioned at least partially within the fresh food compartment and a duct in fluid communication with the evaporator compartment at a first end thereof and in communication with the door compartment a second end thereof. The duct has a first portion that extends laterally from the first end along a portion of the evaporator compartment and a second portion extending through the void along the first side wall of the fresh food compartment.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes a main body that includes an inner case having a storage chamber; a refrigerating chamber discharge duct that divides the storage chamber into a heat exchange chamber and a refrigerating chamber and has refrigerating chamber discharge ports for discharging cold air to the refrigerating chamber. A refrigerating chamber thermoelectric module has a first heat absorbing unit and a first heat dissipating unit, the first heat absorbing unit disposed in the heat exchange chamber. A refrigerating chamber cooling fan circulates cold air in the refrigerating chamber to the heat exchange chamber and the refrigerating chamber; and a refrigerating chamber heat dissipating fan blows external air to the first heat dissipating unit A freezing compartment is disposed in the refrigerating chamber and has a freezing chamber; a freezing compartment thermoelectric module has a second heat absorbing unit and a second heat dissipating unit, the second heating dissipating unit cooling the freezing chamber. An air guide has a channel for guiding cold air from the heat exchange chamber to the second heat dissipating unit; and a freezing compartment damper controls the cold air flowing toward the second heat dissipating unit through the channel.
AIR FILTER BRACKET
A refrigerator including a cabinet, a liner defining a compartment within the cabinet, a fan to move cooled air, and an air tower positioned adjacent the liner and provided in fluid communication with the compartment via a plurality of primary exhaust openings. The refrigerator further includes an air filter bracket separate from and located adjacent to the air tower and provided in fluid communication with both the air tower and the compartment. The ir filter bracket includes a duct positioned adjacent the flow path of the air tower to be in fluid communication with a secondary exhaust opening of the air tower.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes a main body having a freezing chamber and a switchable chamber communicating with a refrigerating chamber through a duct, a compressor connected with a compressor suction path and a compressor discharging path, a condenser connected with the compressor discharging path and connected with a condenser discharging path, a switchable chamber evaporator, a freezing chamber evaporator connected with the switchable chamber evaporator through an evaporator connection path, a damper configured to control flow of cold air through the duct, a pair of switchable chamber capillary tubes connected with the switchable chamber evaporator, a bypass capillary tube connected with the evaporator connection path, a path switching device connected with the condenser discharging path, the pair of switchable chamber capillary tubes and the bypass capillary tube, and a controller for controlling the compressor, the damper and the path switching device.
