Abstract (en)

Disclosed are a refrigerator equipped with an ion generator (40) and a method for controlling the same, capable of maintaining the density of ozone, which is generated together with ions, to a level less than a predetermined level. The refrigerator and the method for controlling the same can adjust the density of ozone in the refrigerator without employing additional equipment or the control for the equipment such that the ozone is not harmful to a human body by incorporating an operational pattern of a damper operating according to the temperatures of both a freezing chamber (11) and a refrigerating chamber (12) with the operation of the ion generator (40) in order to control the density of the ozone generated from the insides of plural storage rooms by the operation of the ion generator.
