To provide a refrigerator capable of simplifying a structure of a cooling function, and reducing power consumption in a case where both of a function for switching a refrigerant to a state of passing a dew condensation prevention pipe and a state of bypassing the same, and a function for switching capillary tubes disposed in parallel to make the refrigerant pass therethrough, are provided.
A refrigerator 1 includes a switch valve 13 disposed between a condenser 6 and an evaporator 9, a first path C1 disposed between the switch valve 13 and the evaporator 9 and having a dew condensation prevention pipe 7 and a first capillary tube 8a connected to the dew condensation prevention pipe 7, and a second path C2 disposed between the switch valve 13 and the evaporator 9 in parallel with the first path C1, and having a second capillary tube 8b. The refrigerator is switched to a first state of conducting the first path and blocking the second path, a second state of conducting the second path and blocking the first path, a third state of conducting the first path and the second path, or a forth state of blocking the first path and the second path.
