A duct cover for a cold air duct of a refrigerator and a method of providing cold air. The duct cover has openings located on the side panels which allow cold air to flow to the storage room from the cold air duct in a lateral direction relative to the main panel of the duct cover. A three-dimensional pattern is formed on the surface of the duct cover to reduce surface adhesive between the condensed water drops and the duct cover surface.

A refrigerator includes an evaporator, a first fan, a first duct, a first return duct, a second fan, a second duct, and a second return duct. A first temperature sensor measures a first temperature in a first enclosed space. A second temperature sensor measures a second temperature in a second enclosed space. The first duct is mounted between the evaporator and the first enclosed space to receive air from the first duct and move it into the first enclosed space. The first return duct is mounted between the first enclosed space and the evaporator. The second duct is mounted between the evaporator and the second enclosed space to receive air from the second duct and move it into the second enclosed space. The second return duct is mounted between the second enclosed space and the evaporator. A refrigerator controller controls the evaporator and independent operation of both fans.

A cooling system including an air distribution plenum, a heat exchanger, a first fan, a second fan, an air damper, and a first air duct. The air distribution plenum is provided with a first side and a second side and defines first aperture and a second aperture. The first side forms a number of passages fluidly connected to a first compartment and a second compartment. The first fan is coupled to the air distribution plenum and configured to direct air from the heat exchanger through the first aperture to the number of passages. The second fan is coupled to the air distribution plenum and configured to direct air from the heat one or more of the number of compartments. The air damper is configured to selectively block the air from at least one of the first fan and the second fan.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet that defines a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, a door configured to open and close at least a portion of the freezing compartment, an ice maker located adjacent to a rear surface of the door and configured to supply water to make ice automatically, to provide ice to an ice tray, and to transfer ice automatically, a cabinet duct located above the freezing compartment and configured to supply cold air to the freezing compartment or to the ice maker, an ice cover that is located above the ice maker and that includes a cover inflow hole configured to receive cold air located at a position that faces an outlet of the cabinet duct, and a supply duct that connects the cover inflow hole to the ice maker and that defines a cold air supply passage to an interior area of the ice maker.

The present disclosure provides an air duct assembly of a refrigerator, comprising: a main body, the main body being provided with an air inlet toward one side of the main body, a plurality of air outlets formed in areas of two sides of the main body, and an air-uniformizing partition plate provided on the main body and located above the air inlet, and the air-uniformizing partition plate divides the air entered from the air inlet into the areas of two sides of the main body and the air is discharged via the plurality of air outlets.

A multi-duct that is coupled to a surface of a cabinet including a plurality of spaces divided by one or more shelves in a refrigerator and that includes: a flow channel (i) that extends between a first end of the flow channel and a second end of the flow channel in a first direction, (ii) that passes through the plurality of spaces, and (iii) that guides cool air from the first end to the second end; an inlet; and a plurality of outlets, wherein the flow channel includes a first curved flow channel (i) that is configured to discharge cool air through a first outlet of the plurality of outlets and (ii) that has a concave shape that is curved toward a second direction opposite to a direction in which cool air is discharged through the first outlet is disclosed.

A refrigerator has a flow path structure formed by a heat-exchanger. The refrigerator includes storage compartments, and a cool air supplying unit provided at a rear of the storage compartments to supply cool air at the storage compartments, and the cool air supplying unit includes a heat-exchanger to divide a flow path at which cool air is provided to flow along the cool air supplying unit.

A refrigerator including a storage compartment, a storage box, and a cover assembly. The cover assembly including a cover member to cover an upper portion of the storage box, a frame provided along the cover member and configured to fix the cover member and comprising an opening provided to communicate with the discharge port to allow cold air to flow into the storage box, a knob configured to be movable and disposed on a side of the frame, a connecting member configured to slide inside the frame and connected to the knob, a guide member configured to be movable inside the frame based on a movement of the knob. The guide member comprising a guide hole, and an opening and closing member configured to open and close the opening by moving in a vertical direction along the guide hole.

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.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet, an evaporator, a shroud, a grille panel coupled to a front surface of the shroud, and a blower fan module disposed between the grille panel and the shroud and configured to blow the cool air from the evaporator toward a freezing compartment. The blower fan module includes an installation frame defining a first plane that faces a rear surface of the grille panel, and a second plane that faces the front surface of the shroud, a hub part that is rotatably coupled to the second plane of the installation frame and faces an inlet hole of the shroud, and a blower impeller disposed in the hub part.
