Abstract
A cooler cabinet having a refrigeration system, and particularly devised to maintain articles to-be-cooled, such as milk cartons and the like, and permit the continuous entry into the cabinet enclosure for the removal of the articles is disclosed as having a main chamber for the articles, an upper, separated chamber for enclosing the evaporator for the refrigeration system and a lower, separated chamber for enclosing condenser and compressor. Air distribution fans are positioned in the upper chamber and are arranged to produce circulatory air movement across the evaporator to be cooled thereby in the upper chamber, then downwardly along the front wall of the main chamber then across the floor of the main chamber, then upwardly along the back wall of the chamber in an air return path and back to the vicinity of the evaporator for continued recirculation. Wire grates are positioned on the floor and the front wall along which air is moved downwardly.
