Title:
REFRIGERATOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/085899
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method for controlling the refrigerator includes turning off a cold air transmission unit and operating a cold air generator with cooling power, which is previously determined, as the temperature of the second storage compartment is equal to or less than a second reference temperature, determining whether the temperature of the storage compartment becomes equal to or greater than a first reference temperature higher than the second reference temperature, turning on the cold air transmission unit and operating the cold air generator with the cooling power, which is previously determined, when the temperature of the storage compartment is equal to or greater than the first reference temperature, determining whether the temperature of the storage compartment is equal to or less than the second reference temperature, calculating, by a controller, an operating ratio of the cold air transmission unit based on an ON time and an OFF time of the cold air transmission unit, upon determining that the temperature of the storage compartment is equal to or less than the second reference temperature and determining the cooling power of the compressor based on the operating ratio of the cold air transmission unit, and operating the cold air generator with the determined cooling power.
