Publication number: 20220018590Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a refrigerator that enables a refrigerating chamber evaporator to replace an existing accumulator and defrost heater by improving a structure of the refrigerating chamber evaporator and a control method. The refrigerator in which a compressor, a condenser, a throttle, a freezing chamber evaporator, and a refrigerating chamber evaporator are connected through a refrigerant passage to form a refrigeration cycle. The refrigerating chamber evaporator may be provided between the freezing chamber evaporator and the compressor. A straight passage of a certain length may be formed at a refrigerant inlet side of the refrigerating chamber evaporator. A curved passage having a plurality of curved sections may be formed at a refrigerant outlet side of the refrigerating chamber evaporator.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2019Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Do-Hyung KIM, Jung Woo YOO, Su-Cheol YOO
