Refrigerator

Abstract

A refrigerator having a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment and performs a plurality of individual refrigerating cycles using a plurality of compressors so as to individually cool the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator includes a plurality of compressors, a plurality of condensers, a plurality of expansion valves, and a plurality of evaporators. One of the plurality of condensers is disposed in a machine compartment and the other condenser is disposed outside the machine compartment so that a heat dissipation effect of the machine compartment may be improved and arrangement availability may be increased. Also, the refrigerator includes a plurality of compressors, a dual path condenser, a plurality of expansion valves, and a plurality of evaporators. The dual path condenser may have a plurality of individual condensation paths.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a body;   a freezer compartment formed in the body;   a refrigerator compartment that is formed in the body and insulated from the freezer compartment;   a machine compartment insulated from the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment;   a freezer compartment compressor disposed in the machine compartment so as to perform a freezer compartment refrigerating cycle in which cold air is supplied to the freezer compartment;   a refrigerator compartment compressor disposed in the machine compartment so as to perform a refrigerator compartment refrigerating cycle in which cold air is supplied to the refrigerator compartment;   a condenser disposed in the machine compartment so as to condense at least one of a refrigerant compressed by the freezer compartment compressor and to condense a refrigerant compressed by the refrigerator compartment compressor; and   a blower fan disposed in the machine compartment so as to forcibly cause air to flow,   wherein the freezer compartment compressor is disposed to be adjacent to one sidewall of the machine compartment from a center of an inside of the machine compartment, the refrigerator compartment compressor is disposed to be adjacent to the other sidewall of the machine compartment from the center of the inside of the machine compartment, and the condenser is disposed between the freezer compartment compressor and the refrigerator compartment compressor, and   the blower fan allows air to forcibly flow from the refrigerator compartment compressor to the freezer compartment compressor via the condenser.
