In a traditional refrigerator design, a single evaporator pumps cold air into the freezer compartment, while the thermostat employs a damper to control how much of that cold air goes into the refrigerator. This design has stood the test of time, but many modern refrigerators have introduced 1 or more additional evaporator ("dual" or "triple evaporators"), allowing each compartment to generate its own cold air, with the goal of increasing efficiency, temperature accuracy, and/or preventing odor transfer between compartments.
