Refrigerator

A refrigerator, comprising:

• a cabinet defining a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment therein, such that the freezer and refrigerator compartments are placed side-by-side with each other in the cabinet and partitioned from each other;
• a top projection part formed by projecting rear portions of a top of the freezer and refrigerator compartments upward, the top projection part defining a first air cooling chamber in the freezer compartment and a second air cooling chamber in the refrigerator compartment therein, such that the first and second air cooling chambers extend upward as upper portions of the freezer and refrigerator compartments, respectively;
• an air partition plate, each of the first and second air cooling chambers for the freezer and refrigerator compartments being partitioned into a front space part and a rear space part by the air path partition plate;
• air suction guide members, mounted respectively to a rear surface of each of the freezer and refrigerator compartments, while being spaced apart from the rear surface of each of the freezer and refrigerator compartments, each air suction guide member having a plurality of air suction ports, thereby guiding air along an air suction path from each of the freezer and refrigerator compartments respectively, into the rear space part of each of the first and second air cooling chambers;
• air exhaust guide members, mounted respectively to an upper surface of each of the freezer and refrigerator compartments while being spaced apart from the upper surface of each of the freezer and refrigerator compartments, each air exhaust guide member having a plurality of air exhaust ports, thereby uniformly discharging the cool air along an air exhaust path from the front space part of each of the first and second air cooling chambers respectively, into each of the freezer and refrigerator compartments;
• and
• a machine room defined on a top of the cabinet at a position in front of the top projection part, and having a compressor and a condenser therein,
• wherein each of the first and second air cooling chambers comprises an evaporator and a cool air circulation fan, each of the cool air circulation fans longitudinally extends in the respective air cooling chamber, and the respective air suction path and the respective air exhaust path extend laterally along the entire length of the refrigerator parallel to the rear surfaces of the refrigerator and freezer compartments and to communicate with the respective air cooling chamber.

A refrigerator, comprising:

• a cabinet with a food storage compartment therein;
• an air cooling chamber located at an upper rear portion of the food storage compartment, upwardly projected as a rear portion of the storage compartment;
• an air suction path guiding air from the food storage compartment to the air cooling chamber;
• an air exhaust path guiding air from the air cooling chamber to the food storage chamber;
• an evaporator disposed in the air cooling chamber of the food storage compartment;
• a cool air circulation fan disposed in the air cooling chamber of the food storage compartment;
• and
• a machine room, located on a top of the cabinet, and having a compressor and a condenser therein,
• wherein the cool air circulation fan longitudinally extends in the air cooling chamber, and the air suction path and the air exhaust path extend laterally alone the entire length of the refrigerator parallel to the upper rear portion of the storage compartment and to communicate with the air cooling chamber.

A refrigerator, comprising:

• a cabinet with first and second food storage compartments therein;
• first and second air cooling chambers located at respective upper portions of the first and second food storage compartments, upwardly projected as respective rear portions of the first and second storage compartments;
• a machine room, located on a top of the cabinet, and having a compressor and a condenser therein;
• a plurality of air suction paths guiding air from the respective food storage compartment to the respective air cooling chamber;
• and
• a plurality of air exhaust paths guiding air from the respective air cooling chamber to the respective food storage chamber;
• wherein each of the first and second air cooling chambers of the first and second food storage compartments comprises an evaporator and a cool air circulation fan,
• wherein each of the cool air circulation fans longitudinally extends in the respective air cooling chamber, and the air suction path and the air exhaust path extend laterally along the entire length of the refrigerator parallel to the rear portions of the first and second storage compartments and to communicate with the respective air cooling chamber.

A refrigerator, comprising:

• a cabinet defining a plurality of food storage compartments therein;
• a plurality of air cooling chambers located within respective upwardly projected portions of upper rear portions of the food storage compartments, each having an evaporator and a cool air circulation fan;
• a plurality of air suction paths guiding air from the respective food storage compartment to the respective air cooling chamber;
• a plurality of air exhaust paths guiding air from the respective air cooling chamber to the respective food storage chamber;
• and
• a machine room located at a front portion on top of the cabinet,
• wherein each of the cool air circulation fans longitudinally extends in the respective air cooling chamber, and the air suction path and the air exhaust path extend laterally along the entire length of the refrigerator parallel to the upper rear portions of the food storage compartments and to communicate with the respective air cooling chamber.
