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 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.
A vehicle having a machine room heat dissipation passage, the vehicle comprising:
- a plurality of seats spaced apart from each other;
- a console provided between adjacent seats and having a console space therein;
- a suction port provided in a first side of the console;
- an exhaust port provided in a second side of the console;
- a refrigerant bottom frame provided in the console space;
- a compartment provided at the first side of the console above the refrigerator bottom frame and having at least one wall provided as a vacuum adiabatic body;
- a machine room provided at the second side of the console;
- a console cover provided on an upper edge of the compartment to seal the compartment;
- a compressor provided in the machine room to compress a refrigerant;
- a first heat exchange assembly provided in the machine room to condense the refrigerant;
- an expansion valve provided in the machine room to expand the refrigerant;
- a second heat exchange assembly provided in the compartment to evaporate the refrigerant;
- and
- a machine room cover covering the machine room, 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.
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;
- and
- a machine room cover which covers the machine room to separate air flow passages, wherein a controller is provided on an outer surface of the machine room cover.
