Abstract: A refrigerator having a refrigerator body including a first cooling chamber and a second cooling chamber, a barrier wall located between the first cooling chamber and the second cooling chamber, an evaporator configured to provide cooling air, a first cooling fan configured to provide cooling air of the evaporator to the first cooling chamber, and a second cooling fan configured to provide cooling air of the evaporator to the second cooling chamber is provided. A method of providing cooling air flow in a refrigerator is also provided.

Abstract: A refrigerator is provided, including a refrigerator body having first and second cooling chambers formed therein, partitioned by a barrier wall, an evaporator provided within the barrier wall, a first cooling fan disposed at one side of the evaporator to blow cooling air into the first cooling chamber, and a second cooling fan provided at the other side of the evaporator to blow cooling air to the second cooling chamber. First and second suction openings are formed at upper and lower surfaces of the barrier wall, respectively, such that air drawn into the barrier wall through the first and second suction openings are brought into contact with different regions of the evaporator and is not mixed, so that the first and second cooling chambers may be separately or simultaneously cooled to appropriate temperatures.

Abstract: A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator may include a body having a storage room, an ice making chamber formed separately from the storage room, and a thermoelectric-module provided in the ice making chamber to generate cold air. The thermoelectric-module does not require a cold air duct to cool the ice making chamber. As a result, space utilization is improved and a capacity of the refrigerator is improved. In addition, energy efficiency may be enhanced because a heater is not required to remove the frost from a cold air duct.
