Abstract (en)

[origin: JP2017190936A] PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator configured to execute defrosting operation with a heater, which can suppress temperature rise in the refrigerator while shortening a defrosting operation time.SOLUTION: A refrigerator includes two evaporators 4, 5, a switching mechanism 8 configured to switch a refrigerant supply state of the two evaporators 4, 5, an evaporator temperature sensor provided in the evaporator 5 for refrigeration, and a plurality of heaters 91, 92 provided in the evaporator 5 for refrigeration. During defrosting operation of the evaporator 5 for refrigeration, switching of a refrigerant supply state is performed at least once by the switching mechanism 8 based on a detection temperature of the evaporator temperature sensor; and output of the plurality of heaters 91, 92 is controlled based on the detection temperature of the evaporator temperature sensor.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
