ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a dual-purpose refrigerator for use on an automobile mainly including a housing having an inner container therein. The inner container has a flat-type circulating pipe spirally wound about its upper outer surface and a closed water chamber formed at a lower part thereof. Two pipes extend from two ends of the circulating pipe to an air-conditioning compressor of the automobile via a multi-way flow control valve, and two pipes extend from the water chamber to an engine radiator of the automobile via the same multi-way flow control valve. The multi-way flow control valve is supplied with current to either open the pipes communicating the circulating pipe and the air-conditioning compressor for cool air from the compressor to flow into the circulating pipe to refrigerate the inner container, or open the pipes communicating the water chamber and the engine radiator for hot water from the engine radiator to flow into said water chamber to heat the inner container. A spout and a pumping device may be provided to the refrigerator to conveniently supply cold or hot water stored in an upper part of the inner container for drinking.
