Abstract: An airflow diverter for a cooling compartment. The airflow diverter is disposed between an evaporator outlet and an evaporator inlet of the cooling compartment, which forms a barrier between the evaporator outlet and evaporator inlet by preventing direct flow of air from the evaporator outlet to the evaporator inlet.
