Abstract: The present invention provides a thermochromic film in which vanadium dioxide can be used without a doping process after the phase transition temperature thereof is reduced, and thus, there are economic and environmental advantages, and a method for manufacturing a thermochromic film, the method comprising: a formation step of forming a coating layer by applying a solution including untreated vanadium oxide onto a substrate; and a formation step of forming a thermochromic layer by phase change of untreated vanadium oxide to vanadium dioxide through annealing using intense pulsed light (IPL).

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a body; a storage compartment; a first door and a second door; and a rotating bar coupled to the first door and configured to close a gap between the first door and the second door when the first door and the second door are closed. The rotating bar includes a case having an accommodating space; a cover; a metallic plate positioned at a front side of the cover and having an end portion bent toward the cover; and a sealing member disposed at a longitudinal end portion of the rotating bar, the sealing member including a first portion engaged with the end portion of the metallic plate and a second portion extending from the first portion of the sealing member in a longitudinal direction to cover a gap formed between the body and the longitudinal end portion of the rotating bar when the first door is closed.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a body, first and second storage compartments, first and second refrigerating units to cool the first and second storage compartments, and a heat exchanger to individually condense first and second refrigerants of the first and second refrigerating units and a second refrigerant of the second refrigerating unit. The heat exchanger includes first and second headers each having an opening formed in the outer wall, a tube inserted into the first and second headers through the openings, and a baffle disposed in the internal space of the first header so as to partition off the internal space of the first header. The tube includes a plurality of channels spaced apart from each other by a predetermined gap, and the baffle blocks at least one of the plurality of channels.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a rotating bar configured to seal a gap between one pair of doors. The rotating bar includes a case provided with an accommodating space; a cover to cover the accommodating space, and having heat conduction blocking parts at both sides thereof; a heat insulation member accommodated in the accommodating space; a metallic plate positioned between the heat conduction blocking parts; and a heat generating member configured to be attached to a rear surface of the metallic plate. An insertion protrusion with an inclined surface is configured to be downwardly movable when the inclined surface is collided with the guide part. Sealing members made of rubber are disposed at vertical end portions of the rotating bar, the sealing members to cover gaps formed at the vertical end portions of the rotating bar when the first door is closed.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a rotating bar configured to seal a gap between one pair of doors. The rotating bar includes a case provided with an accommodating space therein while having one surface thereof open, a heat insulation member accommodated in the accommodating space, a cover configured to cover the one surface of the case that is open, and a metallic plate being coupled to an outer side of the cover. The cover includes a heat conduction blocking part being protruded to both sides of the metallic plate while having a bent-shape cross section so as to prevent heat from being transmitted to both side surfaces of the rotating bar after being heat conducted along the metallic plate.

Abstract: A condenser and a refrigerator having the same, the condenser includes a refrigerant pipe, a plate fin coupled to one side portion of the refrigerant pipe, and a wave fin making contact with a rear surface of the plate fin. Through the structure as such, the condensation efficiency of the condenser may be enhanced, and furthermore, the condenser may be miniaturized, and thus is effective in utilizing space.

Abstract: A refrigerator having a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment that circulates two individual refrigerating cycles using two compressors so as to individually cool the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator includes two compressors, one dual path condenser, two expansion valves, and two evaporators. The dual path condenser has two individual condensation paths.

Abstract: A refrigerator having a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment that circulates two individual refrigerating cycles using two compressors so as to individually cool the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator includes two compressors, two condensers, two expansion valves, and two evaporators. One of the two condensers is disposed in a machine compartment and the other condenser is disposed outside the machine compartment so that a heat dissipation effect of the machine compartment can be improved and arrangement availability can be increased.
