- a refrigerant conversion valve 490 for selectively circulating a refrigerant having passed through the condenser 420 to one of the first cycle (C1) and the second cycle (C2) is installed at the exit of the condenser 420.
- the refrigerant conversion valve 490 may be implemented as a 3-way valve installed at a diverge point between the first cycle (C1) and the second cycle (C2), or as a 2-way valve individually installed at the first cycle (C1 ) and the second cycle (C2).
- the 3-way is operated to totally close the condenser 420 and the first and second cycles (C1 and C2), or to connect the condenser 420 and the first cycle (C1) with each other, or to connect the condenser 420 and the second cycle (C2) with each other when the refrigerator is driven.
- Unexplained reference numerals 220 and 320 denote door baskets. Operation and effects of the refrigerator according to the present invention will be explained as follows. When a load is generated as food items are received in the freezing chamber 110 or the cooling chamber 120 of the refrigerator, the compressor 410 starts to operate thus to compress a refrigerant.
- the compressed refrigerant is moved to the first cycle (C1 ) via the condenser 420, and then is introduced into the compressor 410 via the first expansion valve 430 and the first evaporator 440.
- the compressed refrigerant is moved to the second cycle (C2) via the condenser 420, and then is introduced into the compressor 410 via the second expansion valve 450 and the second evaporator 460.
- cool air generated from the first evaporator 440 and the second evaporator 460 may be supplied to the freezing chamber 110 by the first fan 470 through the first refrigerator channel 111 and the first refrigerator outlet 111a, or may be supplied to the cooling chamber 120 by the second fan 480 through the second refrigerator channel 121 and the second refrigerator outlet 121a. Accordingly, food items stored in the freezing chamber 110 and the cooling chamber 120 can be freshly maintained with a frozen status or a cool status.
- Cool air inside the first and second refrigerator channels 111 , 121 is introduced into the first and second door channels 211 , 311 provided at the freezing chamber door 200 and the cooling chamber door 300 through the first and second guide channels 111b, 121 b communicated with each front side surface of the first and second refrigerator channels 111 , 121. Also, the cool air is directly supplied to the door baskets 220, 320 of the freezing chamber door 200 and the cooling chamber door 300 through the first and second door outlets 211a, 311a. Accordingly, food or beverage items stored in the door baskets 220, 320 can be freshly maintained with a frozen state or a cool state.
- the freezing chamber 110 and the cooling chamber 120 In order to receive a large amount of food items and to store food items in a fresh condition by smoothly supplying cool air, the freezing chamber 110 and the cooling chamber 120 have to have large available capacities. However, when the first and second evaporators are installed at rear surfaces of the freezing chamber 110 and the cooling chamber 120, the available capacities of the freezing chamber and the cooling chamber are decreased. To solve the problem, in the present invention, the first and second evaporators 440, 460 are installed at each inner side of each ceiling surface of the freezing chamber 110 and the cooling chamber 120. Since additional spaces for installing the first and second evaporators 440, 460 are not required at rear surfaces of the freezing chamber 110 and the cooling chamber 120, the freezing chamber 110 and the cooling chamber 120 can have a deeper depth and a large available capacity, respectively.
- cool air generated from the first and second evaporators 440, 460 can be directly supplied to the door baskets 220, 320 of the freezing chamber door 200 and the cooling chamber door 300 through the first and second door channels 211 , 311 formed at the freezing chamber door 200 and the cooling chamber door 300.
- each temperature difference between the freezing chamber 110 and the door basket 220, and between the cooling chamber 120 and the door basket 320 can be solved, thereby freshly storing food or beverage items received in the door baskets 220, 320.
- the refrigerator of the present invention may have other embodiment.
- the first and second evaporators 440, 460 are respectively installed at the inner side of the ceiling surface of the freezing chamber 110 and the cooling chamber 120.
- one of the first evaporator 440 and the second evaporator 460 may be installed at the inner side of the ceiling surface of the freezing chamber 110 or the cooling chamber 120, and another one may be installed at the rear surface of the freezing chamber 110 or the cooling chamber 120.
- the first and second refrigerator channels are disposed at the ceiling surface, the first and second refrigerator channels are formed to be separated.
- the first and second refrigerator channels can be communicated with each other so as to form one refrigerator channel 131.
- first refrigerator outlet 111b and the second refrigerator outlet 121b may be respectively disposed at both sides of the refrigerator channel 131 , (i.e., the ceiling surfaces of portions corresponding to the freezing chamber 110 and the cooling chamber 120).
- a freezing chamber fan 470 and a cooling chamber fan 480 may be independently disposed at each periphery of the first refrigerator outlet 111a and the second refrigerator outlet 121a (shown in Fig. 2).
- one fan may be disposed at an approximately middle portion of the first and second refrigerator outlets 111a and 121a.
- At least one of the evaporators 440, 460 is installed at the ceiling surface, not at the rear surface of the refrigerator. Accordingly, an available capacity inside the corresponding refrigerator can be increased. Furthermore, since the first and second door channels 211 , 311 and the first and second door outlets 211a, 311a are respectively connected to the freezing chamber door 200 and the cooling chamber door 300, food items received in the first and second door baskets 220, 320 can be stored in a fresh condition.
- the refrigerator according to another embodiment of the present invention has the same effects and configurations as the aforementioned refrigerator, and thus its detailed explanation will be omitted.
- the refrigerator according to the present invention has the following advantages.
- each depth of the freezing chamber and the cooling chamber becomes deeper. Accordingly, each available capacity of the freezing chamber and the cooling chamber can be increased, and thus a large amount of food items can be stored in the refrigerator in a fresh condition. Furthermore, the cool air channel is connected to the freezing chamber door and the cooling chamber door, thereby not causing a temperature difference between the refrigerator body and the door basket. Accordingly, food items or beverage items received in the door basket can be stored in a fresh condition.
- the refrigerator according to the present invention can be applied not only to a side-by-side type, but also to any refrigerator types.
