Systems and Methods for a Refrigeration Device

A refrigeration device comprising:

• a first compartment that defines a first open top area;
• a second compartment that defines a second open top area;
• a wall disposed between the first compartment and the second compartment, the wall defining a duct through the wall that is configured to provide thermal communication between the first compartment and the second compartment;
• a controller configured to control the temperature in at least one of the first compartment and the second compartment;
• a damper configured to move relative to the duct to adjust the thermal communication between the first compartment and the second compartment by altering an overlap between the damper and the duct;
• and
• a lid assembly comprising a first panel and a second panel, wherein:
• the first panel is configured to pivot relative to the first compartment;
• and
• the second panel is configured to translate relative to the first panel between an extended position and a retracted position.
