A refrigerator includes an upper freezer compartment and a lower fresh food compartment, with bottom and top walls respectively. A panel is mounted in front of the freezer rear wall to form a chamber containing an evaporator. An air flow separator, adjacent the rear of the compartments, extends through the freezer compartment bottom wall and the fresh food compartment top wall. It defines a first air passage for flow of relatively cold air to the fresh food compartment and a second air passage for return of relatively warm air to the evaporator chamber. A first member is mounted against the fresh food top wall to form a duct extending front to rear of the fresh food compartment. The duct is open adjacent the front of the fresh food compartment and communicates with the second air passage for return flow of warm air to the evaporator chamber. A second member is mounted against the panel within the freezer compartment to form a conduit communicating with the evaporator chamber and the first air passage for flow of cold air to the fresh food compartment. The conduit has at least one opening for discharge of cold air into the freezer compartment.

A refrigerator comprising: an upper freezer compartment, a lower fresh food compartment and an insulating partition separating said compartments; an evaporator chamber separate from said freezer and fresh food compartments and positioned to the rear of said freezer compartment; a conduit connected to said evaporator chamber for conducting relatively cold air from said evaporator chamber to said fresh food compartment, said conduit at least partially located in said freezer compartment and having at least one opening therein in communication with said freezer compartment so that when cold air from said evaporator flows through said conduit, at least some of the cold air flows from said conduit into said freezer compartment; a member mounted against said insulating partition to form a duct extending front to rear within said fresh food compartment; and said duct having at least one opening adjacent the front of said fresh food compartment and said duct communicating with said evaporator chamber for returning relatively warm air to said evaporator chamber.
