Accordingly, the inlet side header 66 and the outlet side header 67 can be arranged on one side of the refrigerating cooler 32, so that the refrigerating cooler 32 can be miniaturized.
- the inlet side piping 68 of the refrigerant is connected to the lower side surface of the inlet side header 66
- the outlet side piping 69 of the refrigerant is connected to the upper side surface of the outlet side header 67 .
- the outlet pipe 69 is connected above the upper end of the flat tube 61 .
- the outlet side header 67 functions to separate gas and liquid, and Only gas refrigerant can be sent, and therefore return of liquid refrigerant to the compressor 50 can be suppressed. Therefore, since it is not necessary to newly provide a space for connecting an accumulator to the refrigerating cooler 32, it is possible to suppress a reduction in the internal volume of the refrigerator.
- FIG. 7 is a plan view showing a modification of the invention.
- metal plates 80 are arranged on both sides of the flat tube 61 of the refrigerating cooler 32 in the depth direction (front-rear direction) with a predetermined interval from the flat tube 61 . It is what I did.
- a fin 73 is provided between the flat tube 61 and the metal plate 80 .
- FIG. 8 is a front view showing a modification of the invention.
- the coolant flows in from the upper part of the inlet side header 66 and the coolant flows out from the lower part of the outlet side header 67 .
- the flow of the coolant becomes a counterflow that opposes the ventilation direction of the cold air flowing upward from below.
- An inlet pipe 68 is connected to a side surface of the inlet header 66 facing the front of the refrigerator compartment 13 at a height corresponding to the upper region 63 .
- an inlet-side pipe 68 is connected to the side of the inlet-side header 66 in a direction toward the flat tube 61 to which the outlet-side header 67 is connected.
- the inlet-side pipe 68 is preferably connected substantially parallel to the depth direction (front-rear direction) of the refrigerating cooler 32 .
- An outlet pipe 69 is connected to a side surface of the outlet header 67 on the rear side of the refrigerator compartment 13 at a height corresponding to the lower region 65 .
- the outlet side pipe 69 is connected to the side surface of the outlet side header 67 in the direction toward the flat tube 61 to which the inlet side header 66 is connected.
- the outlet pipe 69 is preferably connected substantially parallel to the inlet pipe 68 .
- a space 90 is provided between the lower region 65 and the middle region 64 of the flat tube 61 . That is, a space is provided between the lowermost flat tube and the flat tube adjacent above.
- the space 90 is formed by making the lower region 65 of the flat tube 61 shorter in height than the middle region 64 and the upper region 63 of the flat tube 61 . That is, the space 90 is formed by changing the height dimension of the flat pipe 61 connected to the outlet pipe 69 and the flat pipe 61 connected to the inlet pipe 68 . Thereby, an increase in the overall height dimension of the cooler 32 for refrigeration can be suppressed.
- the height dimension may be different in each of the upper region 63, the middle region 64, and the lower region 65 of the flat tube 61.
- FIG. An outlet pipe 69 is connected to a side surface of the outlet header 67 on the rear side of the refrigerator compartment 13 at a height corresponding to the space 90 .
- Embodiment 1 has been described as an example of the technology disclosed in the present application.
- the technology in the present disclosure is not limited to this, and can also be applied to embodiments with modifications, replacements, additions, omissions, and the like.
- the present disclosure can be suitably used for a refrigerator capable of suppressing a decrease in internal volume.

Abstract
La présente divulgation concerne un réfrigérateur avec lequel il est possible d'empêcher une réduction du volume interne. Ce réfrigérateur est pourvu d'un refroidisseur de réfrigération 32 sur le côté de surface arrière d'un compartiment de réfrigération 13 pour refroidir le compartiment de réfrigération 13, et d'un refroidisseur de congélation 41 sur le côté de surface arrière d'un compartiment de congélation 14 pour refroidir le compartiment de congélation 14, le refroidisseur de réfrigération 32 étant conçu à partir d'un refroidisseur de type à microcanaux dans lequel un fluide frigorigène s'écoule en série, et la direction de ventilation de l'air froid passant à travers le refroidisseur de réfrigération 32 étant une direction allant depuis au-dessous jusqu'à au-dessus du refroidisseur de réfrigération 32. Ainsi, il est possible d'empêcher une réduction du volume interne.
