REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18400293 titled 'REFRIGERATOR

The abstract describes a refrigerator with a deodorizing device that is positioned on the upper surface of the storage space to deodorize cold air discharged through the upper discharge port.

  • The refrigerator includes a cabinet with a storage space and an open front surface.
  • A door in the cabinet opens and closes the storage space.
  • An evaporator is provided in the cabinet to cool the air.
  • An upper duct extends above the storage space to guide cold air from the evaporator.
  • A deodorizing device on the upper surface deodorizes the cold air discharged through the upper discharge port.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in household refrigerators to maintain a fresh and odor-free environment. - It can also be applied in commercial refrigeration units to ensure food preservation and quality.

Problems Solved: - Eliminates unpleasant odors in the refrigerator. - Improves air quality within the storage space.

Benefits: - Enhanced freshness of stored items. - Improved user experience with a clean-smelling refrigerator.

Commercial Applications: - Household refrigerators - Commercial refrigeration units - Food storage facilities

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the deodorizing device work to eliminate odors effectively? 2. Are there any maintenance requirements for the deodorizing device in the refrigerator?

Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in deodorizing technologies for refrigeration units to enhance performance and efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet which has a storage space with an open front surface; a door which is provided in the cabinet and opens and closes the storage space; an evaporator which is provided in the cabinet; an upper duct which extends above the storage space in a front and rear direction and guides cold air from the evaporator; and a deodorizing device which is provided on the upper surface of the storage space, in which an upper discharge port is formed in the upper duct to discharge cold air at the front end of the upper surface of the storage space, and the deodorizing device is disposed adjacent to the upper discharge port to deodorize cold air discharged through the upper discharge port.
