Abstract
A thermoelectric front-opening refrigerator suitable for mounting in recreational vehicles includes a shallow external housing enclosing an electric fan unit and an external heat exchanger. A housing extends to a front grill above a front door of the refrigerator so that air drawn into the housing by the fan unit is blown at high velocity through fins of the external heat exchanger and then through an opening in the grill unit and thereby is ejected at high velocity away from the vicinity of the electric refrigerator so that air heated by the external heat exchanger is not recirculated through the thermoelectric refrigerator.
