Horizontal refrigeration system and refrigerator

Abstract

This application discloses a horizontally mounted refrigeration system and refrigerator, solving the problems of temperature and odor cross-contamination and low ice-making efficiency in existing freezers. The refrigerator includes a cabinet and a horizontally mounted refrigeration system. The freezer compartment is divided into a first zone, a second zone, and a conventional freezer compartment. The horizontally mounted refrigeration system is positioned between the two zones, providing physical separation, independent refrigeration, and independent airflow. The system internally features a dual-zone evaporator, forming two independent refrigeration chambers through a separator. Each chamber is equipped with an independent fan, volute, and airflow duct. Combined with the independent refrigeration system of the conventional freezer compartment, it constitutes a dual-evaporator, three-circulation, three-temperature-zone structure, employing a multi-layered sealing design. This application achieves independent temperature control, independent sealing, and independent circulation in each area of ​​the freezer compartment, solving the problems of temperature and odor cross-contamination, ensuring ice cleanliness, improving ice-making and freezing speed, realizing refined zoning of the freezer space, simplifying the assembly process through modular design, and improving production efficiency and product reliability.
