Refrigerator ClimateKeeper with Overhead Evaporator System

The ClimateKeeper with Overhead Evaporator System provides additional freezer space and protects the quality of food and ice by eliminating shared air between the freezer and fresh food compartments.  How it Works:

The most unique feature of built-in refrigerators is that the evaporator is positioned in an overhead compartment rather than in a lower area like conventional refrigerators. Refrigerators with overhead evaporator systems function differently than conventional refrigerators.

  • The evaporator in a conventional refrigerator cools the freezer, then vents the freezer air into the fresh food compartment. Cold fresh food air comes directly from the freezer.
  • With the overhead evaporator system, the cold air is generated by the evaporator located above the freezer and fresh food compartments. This allows the air to be vented into the freezer and fresh food compartments separately eliminating shared air.
 
Benefit:
  • Eliminating shared air protects food from odor and flavor transference.
  • Air in the fresh food compartment retains necessary moisture.
  • Fewer defrost cycles are needed- the freezer operates more efficiently and frozen foods retain their quality longer.
  • The overhead evaporator frees up additional freezer space.
