Benefits of technology

[0009]Therefore, to overcome those problems of the related art, an aspect of the detailed description is to provide a refrigerator capable of minimizing an increase in a capacity of a machine room and increasing radiation efficiency.
[0011]According to the aspect, the condenser may be installed at the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body so as to minimize a space occupied by the condenser. Also, external air may primarily be supplied to the condenser having a relatively large radiation load, thereby improving radiation efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

Here, to make air more smoothly flow, a rotation speed (RPM) or size of the blow fan may be increased, but it may cause an increase in power consumption and generation of noise.
Especially, when the number of components are disposed within the machine room, for example, when two compressors are employed within the machine room, the size (capacity) of the machine room should be increased, but it may result in a decrease of a storage space.
Consequently, there is a limitation in the increase in the capacity of the machine room.
Therefore, air exhaust efficiency is deteriorated due to installation of many components within the limited machine room.

Abstract

A refrigerator includes a refrigerator main body having a storage space to store foods and a machine room to accommodate a part of a refrigerant compression cycle apparatus, a condenser disposed between a bottom surface of the refrigerator main body and a lower surface of the storage space, at least one compressor disposed within the machine room, and a blow fan to form an air passage through which external air passed through the condenser is supplied into the compressor and discharged out of the machine room.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present disclosure relates to subject matters contained in priority Korean Application Nos. 10-2010-0091235 and 10-2010-0091236, filed on Sep. 16, 2010, which are herein expressly incorporated by reference in their entireties.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This specification relates to a refrigerator, and particularly, to a refrigerator having a machine room for accommodating a refrigerant compression cycle apparatus such as a compressor and a condenser.[0004]2. Background of the Invention[0005]In general, a refrigerator includes a plurality of storage spaces for keeping foods therein, and a refrigerant compression cycle apparatus for maintaining the storage spaces in a predetermined temperature range by supplying cold air into the storage spaces. Several components of the refrigerant compression cycle apparatus are disposed in a separate space, namely, a machine room, partitioned from the storage space...
