Direct cooling type refrigerator and evaporating pipe fixing method in the refrigerator

A direct cooling type refrigerator comprising:

• an outer casing defining an appearance of the refrigerator;
• an inner casing arranged within the outer casing, and defined with a storage compartment;
• an insulator interposed between the outer casing and the inner casing;
• a compressor for compressing a refrigerant;
• and
• an evaporator arranged to be in contact with the inner casing, and adapted to cool the inner casing in accordance with evaporation of a refrigerant passing therethrough,
• wherein the evaporator comprises an evaporating pipe extending along outer side surface of the inner casing while being provided with a surface contact area at a portion thereof to be attached to the inner casing, and
• wherein the attachment of the evaporating pipe is achieved by an adhesive.

An evaporating pipe fixing method in a refrigerator comprising the steps of:

• (A) forming, at an evaporating pipe, a surface contact area adapted to come into contact with an inner casing of the refrigerator;
• (B) applying an adhesive to the surface contact area of the evaporating pipe;
• and
• (C) bringing the evaporating pipe into close contact with the inner casing such that it is bonded to the inner casing at the surface contact area.

An evaporating pipe fixing method in a refrigerator comprising the steps of:

• (A) forming, at an evaporating pipe, a surface contact area adapted to come into contact with an inner casing of the refrigerator;
• (B) attaching a release tape coated with an adhesive to the surface contact area of the evaporating pipe;
• and
• (C) separating the release tape from the evaporating pipe such that the adhesive is exposed, and bringing the evaporating pipe into close contact with the inner casing such that it is bonded to the inner casing at the surface contact area.
