IIR documentSummary
Most fruits and vegetables require a high relative humidity to avoid quality loss due to dehydration. Other products however require a lower relative humidity to prevent bacterial growth or other diseases. Packing materials, such as cardboard, weaken under the influence of a high relative humidity. This occurs after some days of storage and results in unstable pallet stowage and damage. It is one of the reasons why wet air-cooling had some restrictions in the past. As cardboard tends to replace wooden packing material the problems caused by a high relative humidity increase. In the paper, a wet air cooler is presented that creates both high and moderate relative humidity conditions.
