Problems solved by technology

[0003] Since the food stored in the refrigerator is exposed to the outside air when the door of the refrigerator is opened, the refrigerator has a problem that various bacteria enter the storage compartment of the refrigerator and then multiply in the storage compartment
However, in this case, additional equipment and a control unit must be provided for the ozone removal unit, thus increasing the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator
Also, if both the ion generator and the ozone removal unit are installed in the refrigerator, it results in high power consumption

Abstract

Disclosed are a refrigerator equipped with an ion generator and a method for controlling the same, capable of maintaining the density of ozone, which is generated together with ions, to a level less than a predetermined level. The refrigerator and the method for controlling the same can adjust the density of ozone in the refrigerator without employing additional equipment or the control for the equipment such that the ozone is not harmful to a human body by incorporating an operational pattern of a damper operating according to the temperatures of both a freezing chamber and a refrigerating chamber with the operation of the ion generator in order to control the density of the ozone generated from the insides of plural storage rooms by the operation of the ion generator.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator and a control method thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a refrigerator equipped with an ion generator and a control method thereof, which can keep the density level of ozone generated together with ions below Predetermined level. Background technique [0002] A traditional refrigerator mainly includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, an evaporator, and an accumulator used to form a refrigeration cycle to keep various foods in a fresh state for a long time. In this type of refrigerator, when the liquid refrigerant flowing in the evaporator is evaporated, it absorbs surrounding heat, so that cold air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment. [0003] Since the food stored in the refrigerator is exposed to the outside air when the door of the refrigerator is opened, the refrigerator has a problem in that various bacteria enter the storage r...
