  • Patent number: 6658878
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a multi-compartment type refrigerator and method for controlling the same. The refrigerator includes a plurality of storage compartments. A plurality of evaporators are each positioned in each of the storage compartments, respectively. A compressor supplies refrigerant to the evaporators through a branched refrigerant conduit. A plurality of opening/closing valves are each positioned on a refrigerant conduit upstream of each of the evaporators for selectively controlling supply of refrigerant to the evaporators. Reference compartment defining means defines as a reference storage compartment one of the storage compartments that has a relatively great load. Control means controls starting of the compressor depending on a change of a temperature of the reference storage compartment.

  • Publication number: 20030182962
    Abstract: A refrigerator having at least one storage compartment, an evaporator cooling the storage compartment, a compressor, and a compressor driving part supplying electric power to the compressor, comprising: a heater heating a part of the refrigerator; a heater driving part supplying electric power to the heater; a temperature sensor sensing an inside temperature of the storage compartment and a controller controlling the heater driving part to turn off the heater when the inside temperature of the storage compartment sensed by the temperature sensor rises beyond a preset temperature in a state that the compressor is operated by the compressor driving part and cool air is supplied to the storage compartment through the evaporator. With this configuration, a refrigerator is provided which can minimize a rise in the inside temperature thereof when the compressor stops due to trouble, and restarts the compressor stably.
