Patent ID: 7703293

Claim:
A refrigerator comprising: a main body cabinet which is formed with a storage compartment; a partition which partitions the storage compartment into a first storage compartment, a second storage compartment and a multipurpose compartment; a first evaporator which is provided to the main body cabinet to generate cool air which is supplied to the first storage compartment; a second evaporator which is provided to the main body cabinet to generate cool air which is supplied to the second storage compartment; a first sub cool air duct which guides the cool air which is generated by the first evaporator to the multipurpose compartment; a second sub cool air duct which guides the cool air which is generated by the second evaporator to the multipurpose compartment; and at least one sub cool air supplying apparatus which is provided to the first sub cool air duct and the second sub cool air duct to supply the cool air from the first evaporator and the second evaporator to the multipurpose compartment; and further comprising a first evaporator temperature sensor and a second evaporator temperature sensor which are respectively disposed to the first evaporator and the second evaporator to respectively sense the temperature of the first evaporator and the second evaporator, wherein the control unit controls the sub cool air supplying apparatus based on respective signals of the first evaporator temperature sensor and the second evaporator temperature sensor to supply the cool air from the one of the first evaporator and the second evaporator which has a relatively lower temperature, to the multipurpose compartment.
