Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2085723A2] The method involves providing temperature sensors (12, 22, 32) for direct or indirect measurement of temperature actual values of compartments (10, 20, 30), respectively. A closing value is defined for the compartments such that one compartment with minimal temperature difference is determined between one of the actual values and the closing value. One of air flaps (14, 24, 34) of the respective compartment is closed until the temperature difference is equal or larger than a temperature difference of one compartment with a largest temperature difference.
