A component designed to improve air circulation within the cooling unit of a recreational vehicle’s refrigerator. It typically consists of one or more small electric fans intended to be mounted near the refrigerator’s cooling coils or fins. These fans facilitate the removal of heat, thereby enhancing the unit’s efficiency. A common example involves installing such a device in the refrigerator compartment of an RV to address issues with inadequate cooling performance, especially in hot weather conditions.
The implementation of these devices offers several advantages. By promoting more effective heat dissipation, it can significantly improve the cooling capability of the refrigeration system, particularly in high ambient temperatures or when the RV is not perfectly level. This can lead to lower energy consumption, as the refrigerator does not have to work as hard to maintain the desired temperature. Historically, these have been a popular aftermarket solution to address limitations inherent in the design and installation of many RV refrigerators, offering a cost-effective alternative to refrigerator replacement or major modifications.
