<p>The present invention relates to a frosting and defrosting module and a refrigerator including the same, wherein the frosting and defrosting module is provided on the upstream side of an evaporator so as to have narrower fin intervals than the evaporator in which the temperature is lower than the temperature of air flowing through the evaporator to exchange heat with a refrigerant, in order to minimize frost formation on the evaporator which performs a refrigerant cycle in connection with a compressor, a condenser, and an expander. The present invention can minimize frost formation on an evaporator, and performs defrosting while carrying out normal functions of a refrigerant cycle, such as refrigerating, freezing and the like, thereby minimizing power consumed during defrosting and removing the inconvenience of stopping the operation of the refrigerant cycle or the like for the purpose of defrosting.</p> |
