Abstract

PURPOSE:To exert a power saving effect to a satisfactory extent created by installing two refrigeration cycles and embody enhanced volume efficiency of a refrigerator body as well. CONSTITUTION:An evaporator 18 for a refrigerating chamber and an evaporator 19 for a cold storage chamber which each independent system-based refrigeration cycle for a refrigerating chamber and a refrigeration cycle for a cold storage chamber provide are installed in such a fashion that they may adjoin each other on both sides at the depth of the refrigerating chamber 12. A fan 20 for the refrigerating chamber and a fan 22 for the cold storage chamber generate an air flow circulating in the upper part while keeping contact with the equivalent evaporators 18 and 19, thereby supplying a cooled air from each of the evaporators 18 and 19 to the refrigerating chamber 12 and the cold storage chamber 13 respectively. Since an insulation parting member 17, whose inside is arranged as an air duct 17a, is laid out between the evaporators 18 and 19, the cooled air which is supplied into the cold storage chamber, is introduced into a vegetable chamber 14 by way of the air duct 17a.

It is certain that the refrigerator configured as described above can promote power saving as compared with a refrigerator provided with only one refrigeration cycle, but the evaporators 5 and 6 are high in cost. Since it has a horizontally elongated shape with a small vertical dimension, an air flow vertically flowing in the freezer compartment duct and the refrigerating compartment duct as the fans 7 and 8 are operated,
The time for heat exchange with each of the evaporators 5 and 6 becomes short, and moreover, the amount of air flowing through the evaporators 5 and 6 is reduced.
There will be a large difference between the central part and the peripheral part. Therefore, it is unavoidable that the heat exchange efficiency is deteriorated, and it cannot be said that the power saving effect is sufficiently obtained.

Although the left and right dead spaces of the evaporators 5 and 6 are small, the upper and lower dead spaces of the evaporators 5 and 6 are inevitably large.
There is also a problem in that the volumetric efficiency of the refrigerator body is reduced. Moreover, the heat insulation wall of the refrigerating compartment 3 is essentially thinner than the heat insulation wall of the freezing compartment 2, but the refrigerating compartment 3 is not required.
Since the evaporator 6 for the refrigerating compartment is arranged in the inner part of the refrigerator, it is necessary to increase the thickness dimension of the heat insulating wall of the portion corresponding to the evaporator 6, and if the inner volume of the refrigerating compartment 3 is reduced accordingly. Inevitably, this also leads to a reduction in the volumetric efficiency of the refrigerator body.

Further, since the respective evaporators of the refrigerating cycle for the freezing room and the refrigerating cycle for the storage room are arranged in the deep part of the freezing room so as to be adjacent to each other on the left and right sides,
Even if the lateral dimension of each evaporator is set small, the dead spaces generated on the left and right of them are naturally reduced, and accordingly, the dimension in the height direction of each evaporator can be set relatively large. In this case, the airflow generated by the freezer compartment fan and the storage compartment fan corresponding to each evaporator is configured to flow vertically while contacting each evaporator,
The time for heat exchange between the airflow and each evaporator becomes long. Further, as a result of the reduction in the lateral dimension of each evaporator in this way, the air circulation amount in these evaporators becomes uniform in the central portion and the peripheral portion.
Therefore, unlike the conventional configuration shown in FIG. 5, the heat exchange efficiency is not lowered, and the power saving effect can be sufficiently exerted.

Moreover, as described above, since both the evaporator for the freezing compartment and the evaporator for the storage compartment are arranged in the deep part of the freezing compartment, the heat insulation wall of the storage compartment has a large thickness dimension as in the conventional structure. Therefore, it is possible to improve the volumetric efficiency of the refrigerator body as a result. Further, since the heat insulating partition member for partitioning between the evaporator for the freezer compartment and the evaporator for the store room also serves as an air duct for guiding the cool air in the upper store room to the lower store room, from this aspect as well. The volumetric efficiency of the refrigerator body can be improved.

In the refrigerator according to the second aspect, since the defrosting of the evaporator for the storage room is periodically performed by the off-cycle natural defrosting method, the power for the defrosting is forced by the evaporator for the freezing room. It is only required for defrosting, and it is less necessary than the conventional configuration that requires forced defrosting of a relatively large evaporator for cooling the freezer compartment and the storage compartment. Power saving can be promoted. Moreover, since off-cycle natural defrosting is performed every time the operation of the storage room evaporator is stopped, the amount of frost formation is relatively small, and as a result, the radiation fin pitch of the storage room evaporator is set small. As a result, the volumetric efficiency can be improved, and the miniaturization can be realized.
