Relative humidity control in refrigerated facilities.

Summary

Air relative humidity (RH) significantly affects the storage life and quality of horticultural products. RH is determined by the balance between rates of moisture (latent heat) entry into and removal from the air. Conditions in a small walk-in cool store and its associated refrigeration system were monitored to validate moisture transport models, investigate the effect of design and operating factors on RH, and explore the effect of coil defrost frequency on store performance.
