Abstract: An air distribution system for combined refrigerators of the type that comprises: a freezing compartment (10) and a refrigerating compartment (20); an air-cooling compartment (40) lodging at least one evaporator (45); a distributing duct (60) having a rear window (62) opened to the air-cooling compartment (40), at least one front opening (65) communicating with the freezing compartment (10) and one end opening (64) maintained in communication with the refrigerating compartment (20); and at least one fan (46, 47) producing a forced airflow from the air-cooling compartment (40) to the freezing compartment (10) and to the refrigerating compartment (20), said distributing duct (60) carrying a conduct (63), having a first end coupled to the end opening (64) of the distributing duct (60), and a second end selectively placed in fluid communication with one of the parts defined by the distributing duct (60) and by the air-cooling compartment (40).

Abstract: An air duct system for a combined refrigerator of the forced air circulation type and comprising a freezing compartment (1) and a refrigerating compartment (2), which are superposed and separated by an intermediate wall (3), and further having an air cooling compartment (4) lodging an evaporator (5) and a fan (6) and presenting at least one circulated air inlet (4a) and at least one refrigerated air outlet (4b). The system comprises a body (10) mounted to the inside of the intermediate wall (3) and defining a rear chamber (11), which is opened to the circulated air inlet (4a); a transversal through-duct (12) communicating the refrigerated air outlet (4b) with the refrigerating compartment (2); at least one first and one second return duct (13, 14) presenting a rear end (13b, 14b) opened to the rear chamber (11), and a front end (13a, 14a) opened to the inside of the freezing compartment (1) and of the refrigerating compartment (2), respectively.
