As such, the compressor 4 is operated and at the same time the refrigerant is compressed to high temperature and high pressure and sent to the condenser 6. The refrigerant moved into the condenser (6) is converted into a liquid state in the process of heat exchange with the air sucked by the blower (8), the liquid refrigerant is converted into a gas state of low temperature, low pressure while passing through the expansion valve. The low-temperature, low-pressure gas passes through the evaporator pipe 16 and absorbs heat from the inner storage vessel. In this process, the air in the storage vessel is cooled coolly to maintain a low temperature state.

The conventional kimchi storage having such a configuration has a function of storing various kinds of beverages such as water, Sikhye, and crystal in addition to storing kimchi for a long time. However, especially in the hot summer season, the doors are frequently opened and closed, because the internal temperature of the kimchi reservoir increases, and the storage period of the kimchi may be shortened. In order to lower the temperature within the control range, the compressor must be driven. Therefore, there is a problem that a lot of electrical energy is consumed.

The present invention devised to solve this problem is a kimchi storage having a beverage supply device configured to automatically take out the beverage in the bucket by using a pump after storing the bucket in the kimchi storage container, and then open the door The purpose is to provide.
