(57) A refrigerating apparatus includes: a storage compartment (1), an air-circulating
member (2), a refrigerating unit (3), and an electric field-generating unit (4). The
storage compartment (1) has an evaporator-side region (11) and a cooling-side region
(12). The air-circulating member (2) is disposed to establish an air circulation path
in which a to-be-cooled air flows from the cooling-side region (12) to the evaporator-side
region (11) along an onward flow route (A), and in which a cooled air flows from the
evaporator-side region (11) back to the cooling-side region (12) along a backward
flow route (B). The refrigerating unit (3) includes an evaporator (31) disposed in
the evaporator-side region (11), a compressor (32), and an expansion valve (34). The
electric field-generating unit (4) is disposed to impose a DC voltage over the onward
flow route (A) so as to minimize cohesion of water droplets in the evaporator-side
region (11), thereby reducing phenomenon of frosting on the conduit body (311) of
the evaporator (31).
