Refrigerator cold air catcher
Wish i had a FLIR gun. I picture cold air falling out of the fridge. Thinking a piece of something solid might hold a bit of it back?

Remember those TV commercials with a standup and a chest freezer full of ping pong balls? When they open the standup freezer all the balls fall out signifying all the cold falling out of the open door?
My thought that is that yes the original cold may fall out of the open refrigerator. But once you close the door all the items in the refrigerator sublimate some of their cold into the open air spaces and cool the interior.
As far as the cardboard dam I'm thinking it can't hurt. But it seems that the vortex created when opening the door will probably just swirl the cold out regardless of the dam.
