Abstract:
1. A refrigerator, comprising: a main body having an opening defining a front of the main body, a back wall that is opposite the front of the main body and that defines a back of the main body, and an upper wall that extends between the front of the main body and the back of the main body; a refrigerating chamber defined at a first portion of the main body below the upper wall; a freezing chamber defined at a second portion of the main body below the upper wall, the freezing chamber being arranged side by side with the refrigerating chamber; a cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber that is defined at an uppermost part of the main body, that communicates with the freezing chamber, and that houses a freezing chamber evaporator configured to generate cold air used in regulating temperature of the freezing chamber, the cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber being located on the upper wall and extending from the back of the main body to the front of the main body; a cold air generation chamber for the refrigerating chamber provided separate from the cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber and accommodating a refrigerating chamber evaporator configured to generate cold air used in regulating temperature of the refrigerating chamber; a machine room that services the freezing chamber evaporator and the refrigerating chamber evaporator, the machine room being located on the upper wall, extending from the back of the main body to the front of the main body, and being positioned beside the cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber; a cold air inlet that is provided between the freezing chamber and the cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber and that is configured to guide cold air from the freezing chamber into the cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber; a cold air outlet that is configured to guide cold air from the cold air generation chamber for the freezing chamber toward the freezing chamber; a guide duct that is extended from the cold air outlet downwards on a rear wall of the freezing chamber and that is configured to guide cold air discharged from the cold air outlet to the freezing chamber; and a plurality of outlets that are defined in the guide duct and that are configured to allow cold air guided by the guide duct to pass into the freezing chamber, wherein the cold air generation chamber for the refrigerating chamber is provided behind the refrigerating chamber.
