Abstract

Le réfrigérateur selon la présente invention est doté d'au moins un compartiment de stockage, d'une première électrode et d'une seconde électrode qui crée avec la première électrode un champ électrique entre celles-ci, un objet stocké à l'intérieur du compartiment de stockage étant chauffé par le champ électrique. La première électrode et la seconde électrode sont incorporées dans des parois de séparation qui constituent le compartiment de stockage. Selon cette configuration, il est possible d'empêcher la condensation d'eau sur les électrodes.
