  • the compressor 410 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. Then, the compressed refrigerant is moved to the first cycle (C 1 ) 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 (C 2 ) via the condenser 420 , and then is introduced into the compressor 410 via the second expansion valve 450 and the second evaporator 460 . These processes are repeatedly performed.
