A refrigerated device is configured to enhance condensate evaporation and includes a compartment including an access door, a refrigeration circuit for cooling the compartment, the refrigeration circuit including an evaporator coil and a condenser with an associated condenser fan, and a condensate pan for capturing condensate from the evaporator coil. At least one first air flow path is provided from a pressure side of the condenser fan, into and along at least part of the condensate pan and then to a suction side of the condenser fan. At least one second air flow path is provided from the pressure side of the condenser fan, into and along at least part the condensate pan and then back to the pressure side of the condenser fan.
