Abstract

Cool air is driven into a cooling compartment (3) of a refrigerator through apertures (16) in the rear wall of the cooling compartment (3). The cool air flow through the apertures (16) can be directed up and down by blades (14) associated with the apertures (16). The blades (14) are coupled such that the blades (14) associated with the same aperture (16) are contrained to remain parallel as they are rotated to change the cool air flow direction. The groups of blades (14) associated with different apertures (16) may be independently rotatable.
