Abstract
Disclosed is a refrigerator in which a cool air generation chamber and a machine room are disposed in the upper portion of a main body of the refrigerator, and a structure of a cover grill disposed in front of the cool air generation chamber and the machine room is changed, thereby achieving stable heat radiation of the machine room and efficient operation of the refrigerator.
Claims12
A refrigerator comprising:
- a main body provided with a freezing chamber and a refrigerating chamber;
- a cool air generation chamber having an evaporator therein and provided in the upper portion of the main body;
- a machine room having a condenser and a compressor therein the machine room being laterally disposed inline with the cool air generation chamber when looking at the main body from a front of the main body;
- and
- a cover grill disposed in front of the cool air generation chamber and the machine room so as to be opened and closed, and provided with inlets and outlets, wherein the area of the inlets is larger than the area of the outlets,
- wherein the inlets are disposed in front of the cool air generation chamber and the condenser and allow air to flow into the machine chamber and in front of the cooling air chamber, and the outlets are disposed in front of the compressor and allows air to flow only from the machine room.
