Publication number: 20100236269Abstract: A refrigerator that sprays a mist using an atomization apparatus includes an atomization state determination unit that determines an atomization state of an atomization unit. An operation of the atomization unit is controlled according to a signal determined by the atomization state determination unit. Thus, an appropriate amount of mist spray is performed according to the atomization state, so that improved spray accuracy can be attained.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2008Publication date: September 23, 2010Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Tosiaki Mamemoto, Toyoshi Kamisako, Yoshihiro Ueda, Katsunori Horii, Kenichi Kakita, Tadashi Adachi, Kahoru Tsujimoto, Kiyoshi Mori
