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.

Air flow designs for controlling the temperature in a temperature controlled compartment in a refrigerator are disclosed. One configuration includes a refrigerator with a cabinet having a freezer compartment and refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator may be configured with a first air return pathway between the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment for returning relatively warm air from the refrigerator compartment to the freezer compartment and a second air return pathway between the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment. A fan may be associated with the first or second air return pathway, that when activated the first or second air return pathway acts as an air supply pathway to supply cold air from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator compartment.

A refrigerator includes a body, first and second storage compartments and a machine compartment formed in the body, a blower fan disposed in the machine compartment, first and second refrigerating units comprising first and second compressors to compress first and second refrigerants, respectively, first and second condensers to condense the first and second refrigerants, respectively, first and second expansion valves to expand the first and second refrigerants, respectively, and first and second evaporators to evaporate the first and second refrigerants, respectively, the first and second refrigerating units supplying cold air to the first and storage compartments, respectively. The first compressor, the second compressor, and the first condenser are disposed in the machine compartment and are cooled by forcible flow of air caused by the blower fan, and the second condenser is disposed outside the machine compartment and is cooled by natural convection of air.

The present invention discloses a recessed refrigerator supported on a supporting surface, the refrigerator including a cabinet, a door movably disposed at a front side of the cabinet, a compressor compartment formed in a rear lower portion of the refrigerator and a compressor and a heat dissipating fan located in the compressor compartment, the cabinet including a bottom plate, the bottom plate being disposed apart from the supporting surface, and the bottom plate including a compressor compartment bottom plate located below the compressor compartment, the compressor compartment bottom plate being formed with a main air inlet and a main air outlet communicating the external with the compressor compartment, air from the external, driven by the heat dissipating fan, entering the compressor compartment through the main air inlet and then flowing to the external through the main air outlet.

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.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet defining a storage space and a machine room that is partitioned from the storage space, the machine room including a compressor and a condenser, a blowing fan provided in the machine room, a guide member configured to guide air from an outside of the machine room into the machine room and discharge air from the machine room to the outside of the machine room, and a deodorizing module that is provided inside the guide member and that is configured to remove an odor from air passing through the guide member.

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.

A refrigerated sales cabinet (2) according to exemplary embodiments of the invention comprises a cabinet body (4) having a real wall; a compressor (16) of a vapor compression cycle arranged within a com-pressor compartment (14); and a riser conduit (22) having an inlet port (24) at the compressor compartment (14) and an outlet port (26) positioned outside, particularly behind the cabinet body (4) and above the inlet port (24) such that gas, including leaked refrigerant flows from the compressor compartment (14) through the riser conduit (22) and exits the riser conduit (22) through the outlet port (26).

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.

The present invention discloses a recessed refrigerator supported on a supporting surface, the refrigerator including a cabinet, a door movably disposed at a front side of the cabinet, a compressor compartment formed in a rear lower portion of the refrigerator and a compressor and a heat dissipating fan located in the compressor compartment, the cabinet including a bottom plate, the bottom plate being disposed apart from the supporting surface, and the bottom plate including a compressor compartment bottom plate located below the compressor compartment, the compressor compartment bottom plate being formed with a main air inlet and a main air outlet communicating the external with the compressor compartment, air from the external, driven by the heat dissipating fan, entering the compressor compartment through the main air inlet and then flowing to the external through the main air outlet.
