At least one vertical wall (8) of the draft shield (4) has a lower end portion in thermal connection with the thermoelectric module (16). The vertical wall (8) is configured in such a way that a temperature gradient develops in the vertical wall (8), wherein the temperature increases from the bottom to the top of the wall (8).
