Water purifier

Abstract

A water purifier according to an embodiment comprises: a cooling water tank storing cooling water; a partition member mounted inside the cooling water tank and partitioning an inner space of the cooling water tank into an upper space and a lower space; a cold water pipe which is accommodated in the lower space and through which edible water flows; an evaporator which is accommodated in the upper space and through which a refrigerant flows; and an agitator penetrating the partition member and disposed in the lower space so as to stir the cooling water. The partition member comprises: a bottom portion on which the evaporator is mounted, the bottom portion having a plurality of cooling water through-holes formed therein; and an outer wall portion extending upward along an edge of the bottom portion to form an evaporator accommodating portion. The outer wall portion is spaced apart from an inner wall of the cooling water tank so as to prevent ice formed in the evaporator accommodating portion from being in contact with the inner wall of the cooling water tank.
