Storehouse
Abstract
The present disclosure relates to storehouse. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the storehouse may include a first storage space providing a space in which goods are stored at a predetermined temperature or temperature range, and a second storage space providing a space in which the first heat exchanger is accommodated. The storehouse may include a third storage space providing a space in which the second heat exchanger is accommodated. The second storage space may be provided to be fluidly connected to the first storage space. The storehouse may include a flow generator which is provided inside or adjacent to the second storage space and fluidly connects the second storage space and the two or more storage compartments.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A storehouse comprising:
a first space configured to provide a space for goods, and having a first storage compartment and a second storage compartment; a second space configured to accommodate a first heat exchanger, and to be fluidly connected to the first space; a third space configured to accommodate a second heat exchanger; a first wall to define at least a portion of the first space; a second wall to define at least a portion of the second space; a third wall to define at least a portion of the third space; and a fluid generator provided inside or adjacent to the second space and configured to fluidly connect the second space and the first and second storage compartments.
2 . The storehouse of claim 1 ,
wherein the fluid generator includes:
a first fluid generator configured to supply fluid to the first storage compartment; and
a second fluid generator configured to supply fluid to the second storage compartment.
3 . The storehouse of claim 2 ,
wherein the first fluid generator includes a first fan and a second fan, and the first fan is arranged such that a direction of a central axis of the first fan is to intersect a direction of a central axis of the second fan.
4 . The storehouse of claim 3 ,
wherein the first fan is arranged to face an outlet surface of the first heat exchanger based on a flow direction of the fluid passing through the first heat exchanger, and wherein the second fan is arranged to face a side surface of the first heat exchanger which intersects the outlet surface of the first heat exchanger.
5 . The storehouse of claim 3 ,
wherein a first distance between the first fan and the first heat exchanger is greater than a second distance between the second fan and the first heat exchanger.
6 . The storehouse of claim 3 ,
wherein the first heat exchanger includes a front portion into which fluid is introduced and a rear portion at a downstream side from the front portion, wherein the rear portion has a narrower width than the front portion, and wherein the first fan is arranged to face the rear portion, and the second fan is arranged to face an end portion of the rear portion.
7 . The storehouse of claim 6 ,
wherein a first distance between the second fan and the end portion of the rear portion is greater than a second distance between the first fan and the rear portion.
8 . The storehouse of claim 1 ,
wherein the first heat exchanger includes:
a heat exchanger fluidly connected to the first storage compartment; and
a heat exchanger fluidly connected to the second storage compartment.
9 . The storehouse of claim 8 ,
wherein an ice-making space is provided in the first storage compartment or a door and is fluidly connected to the heat exchanger for the first storage compartment.
10 . The storehouse of claim 1 , further comprising:
a heat exchanger case configured to provide an accommodating space for the first heat exchanger and the fluid generator and to define part of the second wall.
11 . The storehouse of claim 10 ,
wherein the heat exchanger case includes: a first heat exchanger case configured to accommodate a heat exchanger for the first storage compartment which is fluidly connected to a first fluid generator; and a second heat exchanger case configured to accommodate a heat exchanger for the second storage compartment which is fluidly connected to a second fluid generator.
12 . The storehouse of claim 2 , further comprising:
a partition configured to separate the first space and the second space, wherein the partition includes at least one of an inlet configured to allow fluid of the first space to be introduced into the second space or an outlet configured to allow fluid of the second space to be provided to the first space.
13 . The storehouse of claim 12 , further comprising:
a duct configured to fluidly connect the first storage compartment and a first fluid generator, wherein the duct is connected to the inlet or the outlet of the partition.
14 . The storehouse of claim 12 ,
wherein the duct includes:
a first duct configured to supply fluid from the second space to the first storage compartment and to be fluidly connected to the outlet of the partition; and
a second duct configured to return fluid from the first storage compartment to the second space and to be fluidly connected to the inlet of the partition.
15 . The storehouse of claim 1 ,
wherein the second space is arranged such that the fluid generator is disposed on an outlet side of the first heat exchanger, and wherein a density of a plurality of fins provided on an inlet side of the first heat exchanger is smaller than a density of a plurality of fins provided on the outlet side of the first heat exchanger.
16 . The storehouse of claim 1 ,
wherein the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment disposed above the first storage compartment are separated by a partition, and wherein the second space and the third space are arranged horizontally below the first storage compartment.
17 . The storehouse of claim 1 ,
wherein the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment disposed above the first storage compartment are separated by a partition, and wherein the second space and the third space are arranged below the first storage compartment in a vertical direction.
18 . The storehouse of claim 17 ,
wherein the first heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger for the first storage compartment and a heat exchanger for the second storage compartment, and wherein the heat exchanger for the first storage compartment and the heat exchanger for the second storage compartment are arranged on a side of the third space in a left and right direction, and the heat exchanger for the second storage compartment is disposed behind the heat exchanger for the first storage compartment.
19 . A storehouse comprising:
a first space configured to provide a space for goods, and having a first storage compartment and a second storage compartment separated by a partition; a second space configured to accommodate a first heat exchanger, the second space to be connected to the first storage compartment by a first duct; a third space configured to accommodate a second heat exchanger, and the second and third spaces to be separated from the first storage compartment by a partition; and a first fan provided at the second space, and configured to control flow of fluid or air into the first duct and to the first storage compartment.
20 . The storehouse of claim 19 , comprising:
a second fan provided at the third space, and configured to control flow of fluid or air into another duct and to the second storage compartment.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
