<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator capable of reducing power consumption by suppressing a cooling load from increasing in the refrigerator while keeping condensation heat corresponding to a necessary cooling capacity. <P>SOLUTION: The refrigerator includes a total load detecting means to detect a total load which is a cooling load of a whole refrigeration cycle and an individual load detecting means to detect an individual load which is a cooling load in a storage chamber. When the total load is a threshold value Qa or less and the individual load is a threshold value Pa or less, a condensate passage switching valve 28 switches a refrigerant passage to guide a refrigerant to a bypass pipe and when not so, it switches the refrigerant passage to guide the refrigerant to a cabinet pipe. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
