Claim 22:
23. A vacuum adiabatic body comprising:
a first plate to define a first portion of a wall;
a second plate to define a second portion of the wall, the second plate having a different temperature from the first plate;
a side frame to define another portion of the wall for an inner space, the another portion of the wall including a wall extending in a first direction corresponding to a height of the inner space; and
a support configured to maintain a distance between the first plate and the second plate, the support being disposed next to at least one of the first plate and the second plate,
wherein the support includes at least one of a bar extending in the first direction and a support plate extending in a second direction corresponding to a width of the inner space,
wherein the vacuum adiabatic body provides a heat transfer path between the first plate and the second plate by passing along the side frame,
wherein the side frame has a portion spaced apart from a side portion of the vacuum adiabatic body, such that the heat transfer via the side frame toward the side portion of the vacuum adiabatic body can be reduced,
wherein the support includes adjacent bars, wherein a temperature difference ΔT2 between the geometric center formed by the adjacent bars and an edge portion of the vacuum adiabatic body being provided to be less than 0.5° C.,
wherein the adjacent bars include at least one first bar extending between the first plate and the second plate to maintain a gap in the inner space, and at least one second bar extending between the second plate and the side frame to maintain a gap in the inner space, and the at least one second bar supporting the side frame, and
wherein the side frame that contacts one end of the at least one second bar has a higher temperature than the first plate that contacts one end of the at least one first bar.
