Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely prevent dew from being deposited on a front surface plate by increasing a contact area between the front surface plate of a partitioning body for dividing upper and lower portions in an internal box of a refrigerator and a dew deposition preventing hot pipe. SOLUTION: A partition member 3 for defining the inside of an inner box of a refrigerator vertically consists of a heat insulating member 4 plate structures 5, 6 covered on upper and lower surfaces of the heat insulating member 4 and a front plate 7a covered on a front surface of the heat insulating member 4. A hot pipe 8 is disposed for dew preventing hot pipe 8 between the front surface plate 7a and the heat insulating member 4. In order to increase heat transfer from the hot pipe 8 to the front surface plate 7a a protruded part 10 is formed corresponding to an inside shape of the hot pipe 8 on the front surface plate 7a, and an outer peripheral surface is brought into contact with the hot pipe 8. With such construction heat transfer from the hot pipe 8 to the front surface plate 7a is increased to securely prevent any dew from being deposited on the front surface plate 7a.
