Abstract: A damper structure is configured to open and close evaporator-side communication paths and the condenser-side communication paths respectively formed between adsorbing/desorbing devices and an evaporator and a condenser in an adsorption type refrigerator. There are spherical dampers in the communication paths respectively rollably placed therein. A ring-shape seal member having an inner circumference that can be sealed by the spherical damper is provided on a tilting lower end side of each of the communication paths in a path formation direction. A stopper for preventing the spherical damper from falling out of the communication path is provided on a tilting upper end side of each of the communication paths in the path formation direction.

Abstract: A gas extraction device installed in a refrigerator removes uncondensed gases that exist in the refrigerator. The gas extraction device includes a gas extraction tank used to circulate a refrigerant put in an evaporator, a circulation pipe for circulation between the gas extraction tank and the evaporator, a gas extraction pump which feeds the refrigerant in the evaporator to the gas extraction tank, a shutoff valve configured to shut off a flow of the refrigerant from the gas extraction tank to the evaporator, a gas extractor which extracts the uncondensed gas in the refrigerator into the gas extraction tank, and an auxiliary tank which receives an inflow of the refrigerant filling up the gas extraction tank, and overflowing therefrom.
