ABSTRACT:
An air-circulated refrigerator in which a conventional separate partition, in which air passages are formed is unnecessary, so that it can be assembled easily and promptly and the freezer and refrigerating compartments are space efficient. An evaporator and fans are installed to an air duct assembly. The air duct assembly has a main air duct, an air duct cover, an air duct insulation member and air guide ducts. In the main duct, air passages are formed. One end of each of the air guide ducts is inserted into and communicated with each of the corresponding air passages, and the other end of each of the air guide ducts is inserted into each of the openings of the refrigerating compartment so as to be communicated with the refrigerating compartment. The air introduced into the refrigerating compartment, after circulating in the refrigerating compartment, returns to the evaporator through the opening formed in the upper portion of the rear wall of the refrigerating compartment and the opening of the air duct cover which is communicated therewith. The air duct cover has an opening for supplying the cooled air to the freezer compartment through an opening of the freezer compartment. After circulating in the freezer compartment, and the air returns to the evaporator through the openings formed adjacent to each of the rear corners at the bottom surface of the freezer compartment and through the openings of the air duct cover which are communicated with the opening of the freezer compartment.
