<p>A refrigerator comprising, at the lower rear part thereof, a machine compartment for containing the compressor and the condenser, wherein the refrigerator is energy efficient because of the improved energy efficiency of the cooling cycle achieved without a reduction in the ability of the cooling cycle. A refrigerator comprises, at the lower rear part thereof: a compressor (101); a condenser (124); a machine compartment (110) which contains the compressor (101) and an air blower (141) for cooling the compressor (101) and the condenser (124); a base plate (160) which affixes the condenser (124), the air blower (141), and the compressor (101) in such a manner that the condenser (124), the air blower (141), and the compressor (101) are adjacent to each other in the left-right direction; a lateral rib (161) which is in contact with the base plate (160) and which divides the machine compartment (110) into front and rear spaces; a front face suction opening (166) which is disposed on either the left side or the right side of the lateral rib and which causes air to flow in the front-rear direction; a front face blowing opening (167) which is disposed on the other side of the lateral rib and which causes air to flow in the front-rear direction; a vertical rib (162) which is in contact with the base plate (160) and which, on the front side of the lateral rib (161), divides the machine compartment (110) into left and right spaces; a bottom face suction opening (163) which is open on the front side of the lateral rib (161) and which is located on the condenser (124) side; and a bottom face blowing opening (164) which is located on the compressor (101) side.</p> |
