Abstract

Disclosed is a direct cooling type refrigerator in which heat transfer promoting means (90) having a high thermal diffusivity is installed at a portion of an evaporator (70) where a temperature sensor (80) adapted to sense the temperature of the evaporator (70), in order to rapidly transfer a variation in the temperature of a thermal insulator (31) filled in the refrigerator. Accordingly, the temperature sensor (80) can rapidly sense an increase in the temperature of the thermal insulator (31) occurring in the OFF state of a compressor (54), thereby allowing the compressor (54) to be accurately and rapidly controlled.
