1. A refrigerator comprising:
a body including a storage space; and
a cooling module to supply air into the storage space,
wherein the cooling module includes:
a heat absorption part and a heat radiation part;
a cooling module body having a first space for receiving the heat absorption part and a second space for receiving the heat radiation part;
a cooling module barrier to separate the first space from the second space; and
a first outlet through which the air passing through the heat absorption part is discharged,
wherein a first direction in which the first and second receiving spaces are arranged is different from at least one of:
a second direction of an airflow of the air from the heat absorption part to the first outlet; and
a third direction of an airflow of outside air passing through the heat radiation part.
