PURPOSE:To perform a refrigerating and storing with less deterioration in the quality in a refrigerator having a fast refrigerating chamber for use in rapidly refrigerating a food irrespective of an environmental condition, a temperature of food or its size. CONSTITUTION:An inlet port of a fast refrigerating chamber is provided with a damper unit. A compressor 9 and a blower 11 and started to perform a forced operation in concurrent with a starting of fast refrigerating operation. The damper unit 30 is at first controlled to be opened or closed with a second temperature sensing means 45 arranged at one corner within the fast refrigerating chamber so as to stabilize a food substantially at about -1 deg.C just before a maximum ice crystal producing region and to perform a uniform temperature processing. Subsequently, there is provided a control means 38 for forcedly releasing the damper unit 30, continuously refrigerating sufficient cooled cold air to perform a refrigerating operation and automatically finishing the operation in response to the outputs of the first and second temperature sensing means 44 and 45. |
