PURPOSE: A refrigerator is provided to prevent the unnecessary power consumption since a rapid heating operation is performed due to the surface resistance property of a carbon nano tube. CONSTITUTION: A refrigerator(100) comprises a carbon nano tube heater. The carbon nano tube heater is installed in a heating member, which is heated in the refrigerator, and provides a heat source. The carbon nano tube heater is attached or bonded to the heating member. The carbon nano tube heater is fixed to the heating member by a fixing member, which is separately formed. The carbon nano tube heater forms at least a part the heating member. The carbon nano tube heater is composed of a heating element and a pair of electrodes. The heating element is formed from a carbon nano tube and is installed close to the heating member. The electrodes connect both ends of the heating element. |
