A refrigerator an outer case that forms an outer appearance of a cabinet in which a storage space is formed, a machine chamber provided at a lower end of a rear surface of the cabinet and independent of the storage space, the machine chamber being configured to receive a compressor and a condenser, frame assemblies provided at lower ends of both side surfaces of the outer case, and a main plate provided between the frame assemblies, the main plate forming the machine chamber, in which the frame assembly includes a reinforcement frame provided along a lower end and a rear edge of the outer case; and a reinforcement bracket coupled to the reinforcement frame and provided along circumferences of both side surfaces of the machine chamber in a left and right direction.

A refrigerator includes a thermoelectric element module disposed at a wall of a storing chamber and includes a heat-absorbing sink and a heat-dissipating sink; a supply duct disposed at an inner case to discharge cold air, which has exchanged heat in the heat-absorbing sink, to a storing chamber; and a cold air accumulation agent disposed in the supply duct and cooled by the cold air flowing through the supply duct.

The present invention discloses a control system and a control method of a refrigerator. The control system comprises a collection unit and a fan control unit, and the fan control unit controls a heat dissipation fan to operate at different rotation speeds according to a power-on signal of the refrigerator, a closing signal and an opening signal of the first air port collected by the collection unit. The present invention solves the problem that the hot air discharged out of the compressor compartment blends with cold air and re-enters the compressor compartment, and the problem of poor heat dissipation of the refrigerator when the refrigerator is embedded in the cupboard.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a refrigerated compartment and a machine compartment. A compressor is disposed within the machine compartment and is adapted to compress a refrigerant within a refrigerant line. A micro-channel condenser is positioned in communication with the compressor and adapted to selectively reject heat from the refrigerant into the machine compartment. A condenser fan is positioned within the machine compartment between the condenser and compressor. The fan is adapted to draw heated air through the condenser and also draw fresh air from an area adjacent the machine compartment and beneath the refrigerated compartment. The heated air and fresh air combine to define mixed air that is directed toward the compressor for cooling the compressor.

Proposed is a home appliance in which each of air inlets and each of air outlets formed on a machine room cover are configured to have flow rates different from each other. Accordingly, a design for the volume of air introduced into a machine room and the volume of air discharged to the outside of the machine room from the inside thereof may be facilitated.

A refrigerator is provided herein that includes a cabinet defining a refrigerated compartment and a machine compartment. A compressor is disposed within the machine compartment and adapted to compress a refrigerant within a refrigerant line. A heat exchanger is positioned in communication with the compressor and is adapted to reject heat from a refrigerant into the machine compartment. A fan is disposed between the heat exchanger and compressor. The fan is adapted to draw air from an area adjacent the machine compartment and through the heat exchanger. A funnel is disposed between the heat exchanger and the fan and directs air toward the fan. A tunnel is disposed between the fan and the compressor and directs forced air from the fan toward the compressor.

The present invention discloses a refrigerator, comprising a compressor compartment disposed in its lower rear portion thereof, wherein the back plate of the compressor compartment has a first air port and a second air port, and the bottom plate is provided with a third air port. The refrigerator further comprises a baffle movably disposed at the first air port to open or close the first air port. The baffle may prevent the hot air discharged from the compressor compartment from blending with cold air and re-entering the compressor compartment after the refrigerator is embedded in the cupboard.

A refrigerator includes a lowermost storage liner, an evaporator, an air supply duct, and at least one air supply fan. A storage compartment and a cooling chamber positioned under the storage compartment are defined in the storage liner. The evaporator is disposed in the cooling chamber and is configured to cool air passing through the evaporator so as to form cooling air supplied to the storage compartment. The air supply duct is disposed in a space defined by the storage liner and is configured to convey the cooling air cooled by the evaporator to the storage compartment. The air supply fan is disposed in the air supply duct and is configured to promote air circulation between the cooling chamber and the storage compartment.

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.
