Abstract
Provided is a refrigerating or warming apparatus. The refrigerating or warming apparatus include a cavity 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 accommodated in the machine room to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged, a second heat exchange module accommodated in the cavity to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged, and a machine room cover which covers the machine room to separate a passage and in which an internal air flow and an external air flow have directions opposite to each other.
Claims19
A refrigerator comprising:
- a cavity having an opening to accommodate a product;
- a door opening and closing the opening of the cavity;
- a conduit including a first portion disposed in the cavity, a second portion disposed outside the cavity, and a third portion connecting the first portion and the second portion;
- and
- a hinge support supporting a hinge shaft of the door,
- wherein a portion of the cavity is formed by a vacuum adiabatic body, the vacuum adiabatic body including:
- a first plate providing a boundary of an inner space of the cavity;
- a second plate providing a boundary of an outer space of the cavity;
- and a vacuum space provided between the first plate and the second plate,
- wherein the hinge support includes a fitting groove configured to support the hinge shaft of the door,
- wherein the fitting groove is disposed outside the vacuum space, and
- wherein the conduit passes outside the fitting groove of the hinge support.
