Title:
REFRIGERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/149384
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This refrigerator comprises: a refrigerator compartment; and an electrostatic atomization device that is disposed in the refrigerator compartment and atomizes water by applying a high voltage. The electrostatic atomization device has an atomizing electrode, a counter electrode that faces the atomizing electrode, and a Peltier element that cools the atomizing electrode. The electrostatic atomization device has, as operation modes, a freezing mode in which the Peltier element is energized to cool the atomizing electrode and freeze moisture in the air on the atomizing electrode, a thawing mode in which the Peltier element is de-energized to thaw the ice frozen on the atomizing electrode and produce water, and an atomization mode in which a high voltage is applied between the atomizing electrode and the counter electrode and the Peltier element is energized.
