Benefits of technology

[0029]The refrigerator according to the present invention may give a refrigerator having an improved inner capacity to a user. As a result, the present invention has an advantageous effect of improved product satisfaction.
[0030]Also, the refrigerator according to the present invention could remove the defrosted-water using thermal energy generated from the refrigerant during operation of the refrigerator. Accordingly, the energy could be re-used, and efficiency of consumption of the energy could be maximized.
[0031]Furthermore, the refrigerator according to the present invention could absorb and minimize the vibration and noise generated from the pipe during the operation of the compressor and moving of the refrigerant.

Problems solved by technology

This frost layer attached to the surface of the evaporator interferes with heatexchange of the evaporator and a cooling function of the refrigerator could be deteriorated accordingly.

Abstract

A refrigerator is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a cabinet comprising a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment, a cold air generation chamber for the freezing compartment provided in an upper portion of the cabinet, in communication with the freezing compartment, the cold air generation chamber configured to accommodate an evaporator for the freezing compartment, a machine room provided in an upper portion of the cabinet, a cold air generation chamber for the refrigerating compartment independently provided from the cold air generation chamber for the freezing compartment, the cold air generation chamber for the refrigerating compartment configured to accommodate an evaporator for the refrigerating compartment, and a defrosted-water treating part configured to receive defrosted-water generated from the evaporator for the freezing compartment and the evaporator for the refrigerating compartment.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a refrigerator which can treat defrosted-water efficiently, with a machine room arranged in an upper portion thereof.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Generally, refrigerators use a cooling cycle configured of compression, expansion and evaporation of refrigerant to preserve food stuffs fresh. According to a configured of such a refrigerator having this cooling cycle, a fan is installed in a freezing compartment of a refrigerator and a cold air outlet is provided in the freezing compartment to enable cold air be ventilated by rotation of the fan.[0003]A cold air inlet is provided in the freezing compartment to enable the cold air having circulated inside the freezing compartment after generated by an evaporator to return to the evaporator.[0004]According to a cold air circulation of the refrigerator having the above configuration, cold air is supplied to the freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment, at the moment that the evaporato...
