Abstract:
1. A refrigerator comprising: a.) a housing having at least one wall, the housing enclosing a first cooling compartment and a second cooling compartment, the at least one wall having an insulating layer; b.) a wall-extending distributor pipe that extends along the at least one wall of the first cooling zone and is separated therefrom by the insulating layer; c.) an air inlet that opens into the second cooling compartment; d.) a transition section for communicating the wall-extending distributor pipe and the air inlet that opens into the second cooling compartment with one another such that cold air flows from a cold air source along the wall-extending distributor pipe and thereafter through the transition section to the air inlet for introduction of cold air into the second cooling compartment by the air inlet; and e.) a guide element that extends from one end of the insulating layer to an edge of the air inlet opening that is proximate to the one end of the insulating layer, the guide element connecting in a continuous manner a pipe surface of the wall-extending distributor pipe that is proximate to the insulating layer to the proximate edge of the air inlet.
