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?

If you have ever seen a restaurant walk-in fridge or freezer there are plastic strips that hang from the top and limit the amount of air entering or exiting the space while the door is open. If you make something up, be sure to include me on your patent application as we will likely make a fortune!
Possibly the OP is on to something?
Home grade refrigerators have been manufactured for decades without any type of air dam.
Maybe it's time for an 'energy saving change?' I wonder how much energy would be saved if all refrigerators had an air dam?
I'm sure the Wright brothers were told their contraption would never work.
And maybe opnspaces is right. Any energy saved by the dam would be canceled by the vortex created when the door is opened.
