My fridge has no roof vent. It is a small unit and uses two side vents. The fans are installed in the upper exhaust vent and fit flush with the vent cover when it is installed. No additional baffling is required nor desired from the analysis and testing I have preformed.
I dig the setup for sure. Do you have a picture of your temp switch? I bought 4 off ebay, all 4 arrived broken. Seller never sent replacements.
For the sake of fun fan topics the 12v version getting 13.5 or 14.4v will probably push more air than the 24v fan on a boost. Assuming its a set voltage and not adjustable. Noctua had them listed with identical specs.
I too need to overkill my fridge. Bought a small 80mm Noctua but i dont think its enough when running on electric and its 110F outside.
