Refrigerator

A refrigerator comprising:

• a main body having a suction port through which external air is introduced;
• a plurality of discharge ports including:
• a first discharge port formed on a rear surface of the main body;
• a second discharge port formed on a bottom surface of the main body;
• and
• a third discharge port formed on a front lower portion of the main body a storage compartment formed in the main body;
• a thermoelectric element having heat exchanged to supply the storage compartment with cold air, the thermoelectric element including:
• a heat absorbing portion to supply cold air to the storage compartment;
• and
• a heat generating portion to discharge the generated heat;
• a heat sink below the heat generation portion to receive the heat discharged from the heat generating portion of the thermoelectric element;
• a blowing fan below the heat sink to cool the heat sink by introducing external air through the suction port to pass through the heat sink, the blowing fan to have the air passed through the heat sink to pass through the blowing fan and to discharge the air passed through the blowing fan through the plurality of discharge ports;
• and
• a scroll housing to accommodate the blowing fan therein, the scroll housing having a plurality of discharge flow paths formed therein to allow the air passed through the blowing fan to flow,
• wherein:
• the first flow path is configured to allow the air passed through the blowing fan to flow to the first discharge port;
• the second flow path is configured to allow the air passed through the blowing fan to flow to the second discharge port, and
• the third flow path is configured to allow the air passed through the blowing fan to flow to the third discharge port to cool a circuit board to be accommodated in front of the scroll housing.
