Abstract

A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage space; a barrier to divide the storage space into a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment, filled with a heat insulator, and having a depression part formed on one side surface thereof; an evaporator accommodated in a part of the depression part; a blowing unit accommodated in another part of the depression part corresponding to a upper side of the evaporator; a barrier cover to shield the depression part by covering one side surface of the barrier. The depression part includes an evaporator accommodating part to accommodate the evaporator, a blowing unit accommodating part configured to accommodate the blowing unit, and a cold air passage extended from the blowing unit accommodating part to allow the cold air to be guided into the freezing compartment and to refrigerating compartment. The blowing unit accommodating part is depressed greater than the evaporator accommodating part.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator and a control method thereof.BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Generally, a refrigerator is consumer electronics that can store food at low temperature. The refrigerator uses cool air generated by heat exchange with a refrigerant circulating a freezing cycle to cool the storage space, such that it is configured to store the stored food at an optimum state.

[0003] The refrigerator tends to increase more and more in its size and to have multi-functions as dietary life changes and users' taste is diversified, and the structure thereof is also diversified according to the configuration of the storage space.

[0004] Generally, the storage space inside the refrigerator is divided by a barrier to form a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, and the structure thereof may be variously configured according to the arrangement of the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment.

[0005] In particular, a side by side-type r...
