<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator capable of minimizing the outflow of ozone from a deodorizing device to the outside and preventing the impairing of deodorizing performance regardless of the forward and backward rotation of an air blower for circulating the cold air. <P>SOLUTION: The deodorizing device 21 comprises a spatial discharging mechanism 36 used also as an ozone generating means, a photocatalyst module 37, and first and second ozone decomposing catalysts 38, 41, and is mounted on a deodorizing device accommodating part 20 constituting a part of a cold air circulating passage. The ozone decomposing catalysts 38, 41 are mounted at both of an inlet side and an outlet side of the deodorizing device 21. The air blower for refrigeration to forcibly circulate the cold air of a refrigeration chamber 7 and a vegetable chamber 8 is constituted in a state that the forward and backward rotations are switchable, so that the cold air flows in the direction shown by the arrow A of a solid line in the forward rotation, and flows in the direction shown by the arrow B of a dotted line in the backward rotation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
