Abstract:
1. A refrigeration system comprising: a first cooling compartment having a first cooling cavity area; a second cooling compartment having a second cooling cavity area, wherein the first cooling compartment is positioned above the second cooling compartment, and the first cooling cavity area is maintained at a lower temperature than the second cooling cavity area; an evaporator assembly comprising an evaporator and a fan, the evaporator assembly operatively positioned in the first cooling compartment and configured such that a cooled air stream generated by the fan is provided into the first cooling cavity area and circulated therein; at least one air outlet formed between the first cooling cavity area and the second cooling cavity area, the air outlet configured to permit at least a portion of the cooled air stream generated by the fan of the evaporator assembly and circulated in the first cooling cavity area to flow directly from the first cooling cavity area into the second cooling cavity area through the air outlet; and at least one air return formed between the evaporator assembly and the second cooling cavity area, the air return configured such that air from the second cooling cavity area flows into the evaporator assembly through the air return, wherein the first cooling compartment is a freezer compartment, the first cooling cavity area is a freezing cavity area, the second cooling compartment is a fresh food compartment, the second cooling cavity area is a fresh food cavity area, and the evaporator assembly is positioned in the freezing cavity area of the freezer compartment.
