Abstract
Provided is a refrigerating or warming apparatus. The refrigerating or warming apparatus may include a cavity or compartment of which at least a portion of a wall is provided as a vacuum adiabatic body, a machine room disposed at a side outside the cavity, a compressor accommodated in the machine room to compress a refrigerator, a first heat exchange module or assembly accommodated in the machine room to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged, a second heat exchange module or assembly accommodated in the cavity to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged, and a machine room cover which covers the machine room to separate air flow passages where an internal air flow and an external air flow have directions opposite to each other.
Claims20
A refrigerating or warming apparatus comprising:
- a compartment having a wall that includes 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;
- a machine room cover which covers the machine room to separate air flow passages;
- a console provided to accommodate the machine room cover and the compartment;
- a suction port provided in a first side of the console;
- and
- a console cover provided on an upper edge of the compartment to seal the compartment;
- wherein air suctioned from the suction port to flow outside of a wall defining the compartment flows backward from a front side of the console cover and is introduced into a rear of the machine room.
