<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator with the deodorizing function for performing deodorization and sterilization by almost uniformizing irradiation intensity of an ultraviolet ray to a photocatalyst, decomposing a smell component even when stopping irradiation of the ultraviolet ray, lengthening the service life of an ultraviolet lamp, and reducing electric power consumption. <P>SOLUTION: The purpose is attained by this refrigerator provided with a planar ultraviolet radiating lamp arranged to the windward of a cooler in an air duct, and a photocatalyst filter for constituting a corrugate or honeycomb- shaped ventilation flue in an irradiation range of this ultraviolet radiating lamp, and having a catalytic composition for carrying a photocatalyst having the function for decomposing a smell molecule in the air passing through the air duct by being excited by at least ultraviolet ray irradiation and an oxidizing catalyst having the function for decomposing the smell molecule in the air passing through the air duct in an atmosphere in the air duct on a surface layer of this photocatalyst filter by an adsorbent. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
