WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/135749
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A refrigerator according to the present invention comprises: a body forming a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber, each of which has a temperature sensor; a cooling unit which is contained inside the body, includes a compressor and an evaporator, and is configured to generate cold around the evaporator; a fan positioned inside the body so as to supply the cold to the freezing chamber; a damper positioned between the freezing chamber and the refrigerating chamber and operating to selectively make the freezing chamber and the refrigerating chamber communicate with each other; and a control unit for controlling the damper to be opened for a predetermined damper opening time when the freezing chamber reaches a satisfactory temperature by driving of the cooling unit. The refrigerator can reduce the degree of change in a temperature of the refrigerating chamber depending on a time and thus improve power consumption.
