A refrigerator includes a cabinet formed with a chamber, a partition wall configured to partition the chamber into a storage space and an air flow path and including a discharge port and a suction port, and a heat exchanger provided in the air flow path, in which the air flow path includes a discharge flow path to guide air discharged to the discharge port, the discharge flow path has an inlet closer to a first side edge of the partition wall, and the suction port is formed closer to a vertical centerline of the partition wall than either of a first or second side edge of the partition wall.

A air-cooled refrigerator is provided, comprising: a freezer compartment (103), a refrigeration compartment (104), a temperature changeable compartment (105), a finned evaporator (106), an electric air door (107), an air inlet duct (101) and an air return duct (102), wherein the main air duct (1011) has one end connected to the refrigeration compartment air inlet duct (1012) and the temperature changeable compartment air inlet duct (1013) respectively, and the other end connected to an outlet of the finned evaporator (106), and in the air return duct (102), both the refrigeration compartment air return duct (1021) and the temperature changeable compartment air return duct (1022) introduce the returning air into the bottom of the finned evaporator (106), the electric air door (106) is communicated with the refrigeration compartment air inlet duct (1012) and the temperature changeable compartment air inlet duct (1013) respectively.

A refrigerator and an air door device thereof are provided. The air door device comprises: a door frame having a ventilation opening; a door plate pivotably installed to the door frame so as to controllably adjust an opening area of the ventilation opening, a guide post parallel with a pivoting axis of the door plate and extending outwards is provided at one side of the door plate; and a guide plate translatably installed to the door frame and perpendicular to the pivoting axis of the door plate, the guide plate has a guide recess portion to cooperate with the guide post, and an extension direction of the guide recess portion is at a predetermined angle relative to a translation direction of the guide plate so that the guide post slides in the guide recess portion to drive the door plate to rotate when the guide plate is translated.

A household refrigeration appliance has a housing and an inner compartment configured in the housing with a cover, which extends along a rear wall of the inner compartment and divides the inner compartment into a storage compartment for chilled goods and a cold air distribution region with a cold air distribution system arranged therein and with a first visible surface formed by the cover and facing an access opening of the inner compartment. The cold air distribution system has a vertical cold air duct segment extending in the direction of a top wall, which is arranged parallel to the rear wall in the longitudinal direction and has a horizontal cold air duct segment branching from the vertical cold air duct segment and extending in the direction of a left or right side wall, which is arranged parallel to the rear wall in the longitudinal direction.

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 including a housing mounted at a rear surface of a door to define a storage space of food, a basket disposed inside the housing, a duct extending to the housing from one side of an evaporator to supply cold air generated by the evaporator into the storage space of the housing, and a fan assembly coupled to the duct to allow the cold air to be forcibly supplied.

A reusable, substantially airtight, and insulated container system, assembly and method include detachable assembled top, side, and bottom panels to enclose a plurality of pallets of chilled, perishable products for transport. The top panel includes a plurality of pouches positioned within horizontal chambers within the inside top panel surface. Hook and loop closures secure and seal the panel assemblies. Thermoplastic polyurethane nylon fabric panel inner and outer surfaces are bonded to an internal insulation layer with thermal-welded edges. The system, assembly, and method include internal temperature control elements for a real time thermostatically controlled container environment protecting chilled products housed within the cover assembly during transport. An embodiment of the cover assembly is configured to a standard LD-7 air transport container base pallet, providing a thermostatically controlled container environment of approximately 745 cubic feet. The assembled top, side, and bottom panels are collapsible for easy storage and transport when not in use.

A refrigerator to be installed in a storage space defined by a wall of an object includes a contact mechanism so that the refrigerator makes contact with the wall, and thus the refrigerator can be installed.

A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: an inner case having a storage chamber; a thermoelectric module configured to cool the storage chamber and including a thermoelectric element and a cooling sink; a fan configured to circulate air, which has exchanged heat with the cooling sink, to the storage chamber; a fan cover configured to cover the fan and having an upper discharge hole, a lower discharge hole, and an inner suction hole formed between the upper discharge hole and the lower discharge hole; a first receiving member disposed in the storage chamber; and a second receiving member disposed over the first receiving member to be spaced apart from the first receiving member. At least a portion of each of the inner suction hole and the lower discharge hole may face a portion between the first receiving member and the second receiving member, and at least a portion of the upper discharge hole may face a portion between a top surface of the storage chamber and the second receiving member.

A refrigerator appliance and method of dispensing cooling air towards a targeted cooling zone for cooling objects within a fresh-food compartment. The dispensing of cooling air may be based in part on the temperature of the object within the targeted cooling zone.
