Patent number: 10465696Abstract: Disclosed herein are a centrifugal fan and a refrigerator. The centrifugal fan according to an aspect of the present disclosure has a structure in which a plurality of blades disposed along a circumferential direction are disposed in two lines in a radial direction of a hub, such that the noise of the fan is reduced and the flow rate of air is increased, and the efficiency of the fan is improved, and the centrifugal fan includes a middle guide member inducing an inflow in the center of the fan, such that the inflow to the fan is prevented from being concentrated in a lower part of the fan, and a total height of a discharge port is efficiently used. Therefore, the uniformity of a component of a discharging flow at the discharge port is improved and thus the noise of the fan is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hyun Joo Kim, Kwang Su Heo, Eung Ryeol Seo, Hyo Suck Kang
