Abstract
An ice-making evaporator has internal spaces of an evaporator main body and an ice-making member partitioned into a plurality of spaces. Refrigerant may be circulated in the partitioned plurality of spaces to cool the ice-making member, thereby increasing the contact time between the refrigerant and the ice-making member, and sufficiently exhibiting the cooling capacity of the refrigerant

1-26. (canceled)
An ice-making evaporator, comprising:
- a main body configured to include a first space extending in a first direction to allow refrigerant to flow;
- a first wall extending in the first direction and configured to partition the first space into a second space and a third space;
- an ice-maker extending in a second direction different from the first direction and configured to include a fourth space that is in fluid communication with the first space;
- a second wall extending in the second direction and configured to divide the fourth space into a fifth space in fluid communication with the second space and a sixth space in fluid communication with the third space;
- a first path connected to the second space and configured to make the refrigerant flow into the second space;
- and
- a second path connected to the third space and configured to make the refrigerant flowing in the third space flow out,
- wherein a seventh space for allowing the refrigerant to flow from the second space to the third space is provided in the main body, and
- wherein a partition is provided between the first space and the seventh space to divide the first space and the seventh space and includes a first hole connecting the second space and the seventh space so that the second space and the seventh space are in fluid communication, and a second hole connecting the third space and the seventh space so that the third space and the seventh space are in fluid communication.
