Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet, a first inner case that defines a freezing compartment, a second inner case that defines a refrigerating compartment, a thermal siphon unit that is configured to carry a working fluid for heat transfer and that has a closed loop shape that includes a first part arranged at an outer side of the first inner case and a second part arranged at an outer side of the second inner case, and a cool air storage unit arranged in a space partitioned in the first inner case. The cool air storage unit is configured to accommodate cool air of the freezing compartment and transfer the cool air to the first part of the thermal siphon unit arranged outside of the first inner case.

Abstract: A refrigerator having an air processing apparatus includes: a first cabinet including a storage compartment defining a space in which objects for refrigerating or freezing are stored, and a first door for opening and closing the storage compartment. A second cabinet detachably mounted on one surface of the first cabinet includes an inlet hole and an outlet hole, a blower fan to blow the air drawn into the inlet hole towards the outlet hole, and a filter unit to filter the air drawn into the second cabinet via the inlet hole. A first PCB includes a first control unit implemented to control at least one of a compressor and a pressure regulator of the first cabinet, and a second PCB includes a second control unit implemented to control the blower fan. A first mounting unit is provided at one surface of the first cabinet and defines a predetermined space which can accommodate the first PCB, and a second mounting unit is provided at one surface of the second cabinet and defines a predetermined space which can accommodate both the first PCB and the second PCB.
