Direct cooling type refrigerator

Abstract

A direct cooling type refrigerator includes: a main body with a certain space for keeping food items; a freezing chamber formed at an upper portion of the main body and keeping frozen food items; a refrigerating chamber sectioned by a barrier with the freezing chamber, formed at a lower portion of the main body and keeping refrigerated food items; a freezing chamber evaporator buried in a side wall of the freezing chamber and directly heat-exchanged with air inside the freezing chamber; and a refrigerating chamber evaporator buried in a side wall of the refrigerating chamber and directly heat-exchanged with air inside the refrigerating chamber. Since the refrigerating chamber is cooled by both the refrigerating chamber evaporator and the cooling air supplied from the freezing chamber, the temperature of the refrigerating chamber can be quickly dropped to promptly cope with a load introduced to the refrigerating chamber, and since the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is constantly maintained at a proper level, the freshness of food items can be improved.
