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 and a method of controlling an operation thereof are proposed. In the refrigerator and method thereof, heat control of heaters for preventing a damper from freezing is performed according to at least any one condition set in consideration of a room temperature and refrigerator internal humidity. Accordingly, consumption of power due to unnecessary heat generation of the heaters may be reduced, thereby improving the power consumption.

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.

Proposed is a refrigerator, wherein a cool air flow path for an ice making compartment and a cool air flow path for a freezing compartment are integrally formed on opposed surfaces between a shroud and a grill fan, and a freezing fan and an ice making fan are collectively installed at the shroud. Therefore, the cool air flow path for the ice making compartment and the cool air flow path for the freezing compartment are defined between the grill fan and the shroud by the operation of intimately coupling the shroud to the grill fan.

A muffler comprises a housing enclosed to form a hollow cavity, the cavity comprises a cylindrical chamber and a rectangular parallelepiped chamber, wherein one of bottom surfaces of the cylindrical chamber is connected with a first surface of the rectangular parallelepiped chamber, the cylindrical chamber communicates with an interior of the rectangular parallelepiped chamber, and the cylindrical chamber is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet.

Provided is a heat medium circulation device with a simple structure, capable of reducing power consumption in performing an anti-freezing treatment. A first heat medium circuit 2 and a second heat medium circuit 3 are connected via a connector 5. An anti-freezing control unit 42 activates the first pump 22 with the second pump 32 in a stopped state, when preventing the heat medium in the first heat medium circuit 2 from freezing.
