A refrigerator including a refrigerator compartment, a freezer compartment, an ice maker compartment, a machine compartment, a first evaporator, a second evaporator, and a pressure balancing conduit. The ice maker compartment is configured to store ice and receive air from the freezer compartment. The machine compartment is located outside the freezer and ice maker compartments and houses one or more of a compressor, a condenser, a fan, or a coolant tank. The first evaporator is configured to cool air within the refrigerator compartment. The second evaporator is configured to cool air within the freezer compartment. The pressure balancing conduit is configured to balance air pressure within the freezer compartment.

A refrigerator has a temperature-controlled drawer within a fresh food compartment that includes: a temperature sensor within the temperature-controlled drawer and/or the fresh food compartment; a display coupled to the drawer, wherein the display receives an output from the temperature sensor, determines what food type would be best suited for the temperature based on said temperature sensor output, and indicates what type of food it has determined is best for storage therein; at least one light within said drawer, wherein the at least one light changes to a first color, based on the food type indicated by the display, and turns off and on depending on whether the fresh food compartment door is closed or open, respectively.

A refrigerator includes a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant, a condenser configured to condense the refrigerant compressed in the compressor, an expander configured to depressurize the refrigerant condensed in the condenser, a plurality of evaporators configured to evaporate the refrigerant depressurized in the expander, a first valve configured to be operated to introduce the refrigerant into at least one of the plurality of evaporators, a hot gas valve device disposed at an inlet side of the first valve and configured to guide the refrigerant passed through the compressor or the condenser to the plurality of evaporators, and a hot gas path configured to extend from the hot gas valve device to the plurality of evaporators.

A two-phase immersion cooling device includes an upper box body, a lower box body, a plurality of heating elements, and a condenser. The walls of the upper box body form a first cavity. The lower box body defines a second cavity containing coolant. The heating elements are disposed in the second cavity and immersing in the coolant. The condenser in the upper box body includes multiple rows and columns of condensing tubes, is arranged across or along the upper box body to fill the first cavity. The lower box body is detachably and hermetically connected to the bottom of the upper box body, connecting the second cavity with the first cavity to form an accommodating cavity.
