A fan assembly for use in an appliance provided with a housing including a first sidewall forming a first outlet and a second outlet, a fan disposed in the housing and configured to expel cooled air through the first outlet and the second outlet to a number of compartments of the appliance, a damper including an annular rim and a second sidewall extending from at least a portion of the annular rim, the damper configured to rotate to completely or partially cover the first outlet, the second outlet, or the first outlet and the second outlet, and a wiper including a main body disposed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall and configured to block the cooled air from traveling between the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

A fan assembly including a housing, an impeller, a first damper member, a second damper member, and an actuation assembly. The housing defining a number of outlets and the impeller being configured to rotate about a rotational axis to direct air towards the number of outlets. The first damper member at least partially extending circumferentially about the impeller and the second damper member at least partially extend circumferentially about the impeller. The actuation assembly is configured to selectively rotate the first damper member and/or the second damper member to partially block, completely block or completely open the number of outlets.

Disclosed is a refrigerator having a centrifugal fan with a volute, which includes a cabinet, an evaporator, a centrifugal fan, and an air supply duct. A cooling chamber located at a lower part and at least one storage compartment located above the cooling chamber are defined in the cabinet; the evaporator is disposed in the cooling chamber and is configured to cool airflow entering the cooling chamber to form cooled airflow; the centrifugal fan includes a volute and an impeller disposed in the volute; and the air supply duct is detachably connected with the volute, communicates with a volute air outlet, and is configured to deliver the cooled airflow into the at least one storage compartment. In the refrigerator of the present invention, the cooling chamber is located at a lower part of the cabinet, so that the cooling chamber occupies a lower space in the cabinet; the storage compartment is located above the cooling chamber, a compressor chamber may be defined behind the cooling chamber, and the storage compartment no longer needs to make room for the compressor chamber, thus guaranteeing the storage volume of the storage compartment. In addition, the air supply duct and the centrifugal fan adopt a split design, which implements modularization, is convenient for disassembly, assembly and transportation, and improves the yield rate.

There is disclosed a refrigerator including an evaporator configured to generate cold air; and a grill fan assembly configured to blown the cold air generated by the evaporator to a freezer compartment and an ice-making chamber, wherein the grill fan assembly includes a freezing fan module; an ice-making fan module disposed in a predetermined area of the freezing fan module; a first cold air flow path guide disposed between the freezing fan module and the ice-making fan module; and a second cold air flow path guide disposed between the freezing fan module and the first cold air flow path guide, and the first cold air flow path guide and the second cold air flow path guide are spaced apart from an upper wall of the grill fan assembly.

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 cooling system includes a radiator, a compressor that compresses a refrigerant to send the refrigerant to the radiator, and a blower that sends out an airflow suctioned from an intake port that is directed to a first direction from an exhaust port to a second direction by a rotation of an impeller around a rotation axis extending in the first direction. The first direction is parallel or substantially parallel to a direction normal to an installation surface on which the compressor is installed. The second direction is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The radiator is in the first direction relative to the blower. The compressor is in the second direction relative to the radiator and the blower.
