REFRIGERATOR

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/084473

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A refrigerator is provided with: an evaporator (111) disposed within a storage compartment (106) which is set to a storage temperature zone or a freezing temperature zone and having a coating which facilitates the scattering or dropping of condensate water from the surface of the evaporator (111), the condensate water being produced on the surface of the evaporator (111); and an air blowing fan (112) for delivering cool air formed by cooling by the evaporator (111). The air blowing fan (112) is adapted to deliver the cool air in the direction having a component in the direction of gravity. As a result, the direction of delivery of the cool air by the air blowing fan (112) has the same directional component as the weight of the condensate water, and this promotes the scattering of the condensate water from the surface of the evaporator (111).
