With continued reference to fig. 1, the air-cooled refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include at least one sterilization and deodorization module 400, where the sterilization and deodorization module 400 is disposed in the air duct 201 and is used for sterilizing and deodorizing the cooling air flow flowing to the storage space 110. According to the air-cooled refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the invention, the sterilizing and deodorizing module 400 is independently arranged on the detachable air duct assembly 200, so that the air duct assembly 200 can be replaced in time or the sterilizing and deodorizing module 400 on the air duct assembly 200 can be replaced when the module efficiency on the air duct 201 is reduced, and the sterilizing and deodorizing module 400 can always operate in the refrigerator with high efficiency.
Referring to fig. 2, the duct 201 may include at least one first duct 202 for supplying air to an upper portion of the storage space 110; the sterilization and deodorization module 400 is disposed in the first air duct 202. The first air duct 202 may further have two first air outlets 203 disposed at two sides of the upper portion of the storage space 110, so that the cooling air flows to two sides of the storage space 110; the sterilizing and deodorizing module 400 is disposed between the two first air outlets 203. The lower part of the storage space 110 is provided with an air return port 204; the sterilizing and deodorizing module 400 is disposed at the air return port 204.
Since the sterilizing and deodorizing module 400 mainly performs sterilizing and deodorizing on the cold air flowing into the deodorizing space, the sterilizing and deodorizing module 400 is most suitable in a place where the air flow speed is high, because the air flow speed is high, the volume of air passing through the module per unit time is large, and the efficiency of deodorizing by the sterilizing and deodorizing module 400 is higher. In addition, by allowing as much as possible all of the air circulation gas to pass through the module, the air in the space can be purified for the whole time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sterilization and deodorization module 400 is disposed at the air outlet and the air return 204 of the air duct 201, so that the sterilization and deodorization efficiency is higher.

R-NH 2 +SH - +O 2 +H 2 O→R-NH 3+ +SO 4 2+ +OH -
R-NH 3+ +OH - →R-NH 2 +H 2 O
2) Mechanism of removing ammonia
R-COOH+NH 3 →R-COONH 4
3) Mechanism for removing ethanethiol
R-COOH+C 2 H 5 SH→R-COOC 2 H 5 +H 2 S
Hydrogen sulfide produced in practice can be removed by 1) a mechanism.
In the experiment, the initial concentration of odor was 10ppm in a 60L test space at 5℃and the removal rates of 30min and 60min were measured as test conditions, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
