Abstract

A cooling tube system (100) is formed as part of a refrigerator shelf (102). The shelf (102) includes a frame (104) having a series of frame wires (106). Secured above and supported on the frame wires (106) are a set of cooling tubes (114). A fan (132) directs cool air generated from cooling air equipment (130) through vents (136) into the refrigerator interior (129). The air flows through rear hollow ends (140) of the cooling tubes (114). The cooling air (13 8) is directed toward the front (124) of the refrigerator (120).
