Airflow arrangement for a refrigerator

摘要

A refrigerated display cabinet (10) has a chamber (12) accessible via the doors (12) of the cabinet. The bottommost shelf (16) in the chamber is a substantially imperforate shelf which is spaced from the bottom wall (17) of the chamber to form a duct-like passage through which air is drawn by a fan (15). The air is directed past an evaporator (17) of a refrigerating mechanism so as to be cooled. The cooled air is recirculated into the chamber (12) by passing it through apertures in a perforate inclined rear internal wall (18) of the chamber. The remainder of the cooled air is directed downwardly through openings (24) at the top of the chamber past the front of the shelves.
