Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a storehouse. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a storehouse may include a first storage space configured to provide a space in which goods are stored within a predetermined temperature or a predetermined temperature range and a second storage space configured to provide a space in which a first heat exchanger is accommodated. The storehouse may include a third storage space configured to provide a space in which a second heat exchanger is accommodated. The storehouse may include a first wall defining at least a part of the first storage space, a second wall defining at least a part of the second storage space, and a third wall defining at least a part of the third storage space. The storehouse may include a first passage, through which the fluid flows, in the inside of the first wall or in the vicinity of the first wall; and a second passage, through which the fluid flows, in the inside of the second wall or in the vicinity of the second wall.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A storehouse comprising:
 a first space configured to provide a space in which goods are stored;   a second space configured to provide a space in which a first heat exchanger is accommodated;   a third space configured to provide a space in which a second heat exchanger is accommodated;   a first wall defining at least a part of the first space;   a second wall defining at least a part of the second space;   a third wall defining at least a part of the third space; and   a fan assembly disposed on a path through which a fluid in the second space flows out of the second space,   wherein the second space is fluidly connected to the first storage-space.   
     
     
         2 . The storehouse of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the second space comprises a first region and a second region disposed relatively closer to the first space than the first region.   
     
     
         3 . The storehouse of  claim 2 , wherein the fluid in the second space passes through the first region and then flows toward the second region. 
     
     
         4 . The storehouse of  claim 2 , wherein the second region is disposed adjacent to the first region in a horizontal direction. 
     
     
         5 . The storehouse of  claim 4 , wherein a direction in which the fluid in the second space flows in the first region of the second space is different from a direction in which the fluid flows in the second region of the second space. 
     
     
         6 . The storehouse of  claim 4 , further comprising a passage provided in the second region and through which water formed on a surface of the first heat exchanger is discharged to an outside of the second space. 
     
     
         7 . The storehouse of  claim 6 , wherein the passage is provided at a lower portion of the second region. 
     
     
         8 . The storehouse of  claim 2 , wherein the second region of the second space is disposed adjacent to the first region of the second space in the vertical direction. 
     
     
         9 . The storehouse of  claim 8 , wherein a direction in which the fluid in the second space flows in the first region is different from a direction in which the fluid flows in the second region. 
     
     
         10 . The storehouse of  claim 9 , wherein the direction in which the fluid in the second space flows in the first region is opposite to the direction in which the fluid flows in the second region. 
     
     
         11 . The storehouse of  claim 8 , further comprising a passage provided in the first region of the second space and through which water formed on the surface of the first heat exchanger is discharged to an outside of the second space. 
     
     
         12 . A storehouse comprising:
 a first space configured to provide a space in which goods are stored;   a second space configured to provide a space in which a first heat exchanger is accommodated;   a first wall defining at least a part of the first space;   a second wall defining at least a part of the second space;   a fan assembly disposed on a path through which a fluid flows in or out of the second space; and   an air guide configured to change a flow direction of the fluid after passing through the first heat exchanger,   wherein at least a portion of the air guide is disposed in an inside of the second space.   
     
     
         13 . The storehouse of  claim 12 , wherein the air guide comprises a portion of a surface of the second wall or is provided to extend from the surface of the second wall toward the inside of the second space. 
     
     
         14 . The storehouse of  claim 12 , wherein the air guide is provided as a separate component coupled to the inside of the second space. 
     
     
         15 . The storehouse of  claim 14 , wherein the air guide comprises a first surface and a second surface, and
 wherein a direction in which the fluid in the second space flows along the first surface of the air guide is different from a direction in which the fluid flows along the second surface of the air guide.   
     
     
         16 . The storehouse of  claim 15 , wherein the first surface of the air guide is disposed closer to the first heat exchanger than the second surface of the air guide. 
     
     
         17 . The storehouse of  claim 15 , wherein the second surface of the air guide is disposed closer to the fan assembly than the first surface of the air guide. 
     
     
         18 . The storehouse of  claim 15 , wherein the direction in which the fluid in the second space flows along the first surface of the air guide differs by more than 90 degrees with respect to the direction in which the fluid flows along the second surface of the air guide. 
     
     
         19 . The storehouse of  claim 18 , wherein the direction in which the fluid in the second space flows along the first surface of the air guide is opposite to the direction in which the fluid flows along the second surface of the air guide. 
     
     
         20 . The storehouse of  claim 15 , wherein the direction in which the fluid in the second space flows along the first surface of the air guide differs by less than or equal to 90 degrees with respect to the direction in which the fluid flows along the second surface of the air guide.
