(54) An apparatus for refrigeration


(57) A refrigerator including a blowing unit optimized for a bottom type condenser. The refrigerator includes a main body (10) having a storage compartment (12) defined therein, a condenser (42) mounted at the bottom of the main body (10), and a blowing unit to blow air that has already passed through the condenser. The blowing unit (34) includes a centrifugal fan mounted in a machine compartment (30) and a blowing guide member (36) to guide air blown by the centrifugal fan to the front of the main body (10). Consequently, it is possible to discharge the air that has already passed through the bottom type condenser (42), to the front of the main body (10), thereby accomplishing the smooth discharge of air and reducing the power consumption necessary to blow the air.
