A refrigerator comprising:
- a first evaporator;
- a refrigerator controller;
- a first compartment comprising
- a first plurality of walls;
- a first compartment access structure configured to provide access to a first enclosed space defined by the first plurality of walls and the first compartment access structure;
- and
- a first temperature sensor configured to measure a first temperature value of air in the first enclosed space and to send the measured first temperature value to the refrigerator controller;
- a second compartment comprising
- a second plurality of walls;
- a second compartment access structure configured to provide access to a second enclosed space defined by the second plurality of walls and the second compartment access structure;
- and
- a second temperature sensor configured to measure a second temperature value of air in the second enclosed space and to send the measured second temperature value to the refrigerator controller;
- a first fan mounted adjacent to or in the first enclosed space;
- a first duct mounted between the first evaporator and the first enclosed space, the first duct comprising a first duct wall that forms a first aperture and a second aperture;
- a plate mounted between the first evaporator and the first duct, the plate comprising a plate aperture wall that defines a duct aperture formed through the plate, wherein the first aperture of the first duct is adjacent the first fan, wherein the second aperture of the first duct is positioned to encompass the duct aperture, wherein a center of the duct aperture is positioned a distance from a center of the first evaporator measured in a first direction, wherein the distance is between 0% and 40% of a total length of the first evaporator in the first direction, wherein the first fan is configured to receive air from the first evaporator through the first duct and to move the received air into the first enclosed space when on;
- a first return duct mounted at least partially between the first enclosed space and the first evaporator;
- a second fan mounted adjacent to or in the second enclosed space;
- a second duct mounted between the first evaporator and the second enclosed space, wherein the second fan is configured to receive air from the second duct and to move the received air into the second enclosed space when on;
- and
- a second return duct mounted at least partially between the second enclosed space and the first evaporator;
- wherein the refrigerator controller is configured
- to receive the sent first temperature value;
- to receive the sent second temperature value;
- to control a flow of refrigerant through a coil of the first evaporator based on the received first temperature value, a first predetermined temperature set value defined for the first compartment, the received second temperature value, and a second predetermined temperature value set defined for the second compartment;
- and
- to separately control operation of the first fan and the second fan.
