REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17917694 titled 'REFRIGERATOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application proposes a refrigerator design that increases the amount of cool air supplied to the freezing compartment and ensures sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment and ice-making compartment. This is achieved by partially sharing the cool air between the cool air passages for the freezing compartment and the ice-making compartment.
- The refrigerator design includes separate cool air passages for the freezing compartment and the ice-making compartment.
- The cool air passages partially share the cool air with each other.
- By sharing cool air, the amount of cool air supplied to the freezing compartment is increased.
- This design ensures sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment, freezing compartment, and ice-making compartment, even with a single evaporator.
Potential Applications
- Household refrigerators
- Commercial refrigerators
- Industrial refrigeration systems
Problems Solved
- Insufficient cool air supply to the freezing compartment
- Inadequate cool air supply to the refrigerating compartment and ice-making compartment
- Limited cooling capacity with a single evaporator
Benefits
- Increased amount of cool air supplied to the freezing compartment
- Sufficient cool air supply to the refrigerating compartment and ice-making compartment
- Efficient cooling with a single evaporator
Original Abstract Submitted
A refrigerator is proposed. In the refrigerator, a cool air passage for a freezing compartment which guides the flow of cool air to the freezing compartment, and a cool air passage for an ice-making compartment which guides the flow of cool air to the ice-making compartment partially share the cool air with each other. Through the sharing of cool air, the amount of cool air supplied to the freezing compartment is increased and sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment. Accordingly, sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment, the freezing compartment, and the ice-making compartment even with a single evaporator.
