A refrigerating or warming apparatus comprising:
- a compartment of which at least a portion of a wall is provided as a vacuum adiabatic body;
- a machine room provided at a side outside the compartment;
- a compressor provided in the machine room to compress a refrigerant;
- a first heat exchange assembly provided in the machine room to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged;
- a second heat exchange assembly provided in the compartment to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged;
- and
- a machine room cover which covers the machine room, wherein an internal air flow inside the machine room cover and an external air flow outside the machine room cover have directions opposite to each other,
- wherein the machine room cover has a height that increases backward from a front surface to smoothly guide air flow, and the external air flow outside the machine room cover is formed from the front surface to a rear surface of the machine room cover.
