ABSTRACT:
The fruit refrigerator has a cold plate which is cooled by a thermal electric unit secured underneath. Power is supplied to the thermal electric unit and to a cooling fan which blows air over the thermal electric unit. The cold plate has a depressed center, and liquid drains down through a wick. The cold plate has a transparent cover. A circulating fan on the cold plate prevents stratification within the domed cover and helps equalize cooling of fruit on the tray.
