Controlling Humidity
Controlling temperature within a refrigerated enclosure is pretty straightforward, but humidity control is more complex, requiring you to balance humidity generation with de-humidification effects. Another variable is the temperature of the environment around the enclosure which can greatly affect (and upset) this balance. We've done tests to try to understand how humidity (%RH) can best be controlled and to see how our control systems compare to the alternatives. We also hope to add more test results in due course. Our "test" enclosure is a converted 21 cu. ft. frost free refrigerator in an unheated garage. Temperature control was accomplished with a CC-T temperature controller set at 55 deg. F and 1 deg. differential. Tests were conducted in December 2013 and external (garage) temperatures varied between 45 and 65 deg. F. Comparisons of different control methods were made In the two highlighted cases below: |
