Abstract: Disclosed herein is a refrigerator that is capable of rapidly handling a load in a freezing chamber of the refrigerator or a refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator, and preventing stored goods in a rapid cooling chamber from being excessively cooled. The present invention also provides a method of controlling such a refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a rapid cooling chamber mounted in at least one of the freezing and refrigerating chambers, a rapid cooling channel having one end communicating with an entering channel of the refrigerating chamber and the other end communicating with the rapid cooling channel, and a damper for controlling the flow of cool air passing through the entering channel of the refrigerating chamber and the rapid cooling channel. The damper is controlled on the basis of the load in the freezing or refrigerating chamber and a load in the rapid cooling chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus controls cool air for directedly cooling a section which is weakly cooled or which stores new loads. The apparatus discharges the cool air by rotating a drive body in accordance with a variation of visual images taken by visual image generator before and after the load is stored. The cool air can also be discharged into a specific storage space by rotating cool air injection nozzles based upon the temperature variation of door baskets detected by temperature sensors. Therefore, a uniform temperature distribution can be maintained in the cooling device to substantially reduce an amount of power consumption.

Abstract: A concentrated cooling apparatus of a refrigerator is capable of improving the reliability of an infrared sensor by preventing moisture from being condensed onto the surface of the infrared sensor. The concentrated cooling apparatus includes a nozzle rotationally supported by a cold air guide path, the nozzle intensively jetting cold air to a high-temperature load region when a high-temperature load is placed inside a chilling chamber of the refrigerator. An infrared sensor is installed at the front of the nozzle, and the infrared sensor senses the high-temperature load region while being rotated together with the nozzle. A moisture removing device is formed at a side of the nozzle, the moisture removing device jetting cold air on the surface of the infrared sensor to remove moisture condensed on the surface of the infrared sensor.
