Abstract
An indoor gardening appliance includes a cabinet defining a grow chamber within the cabinet. The gardening appliance further includes environmental control system configured to adjust atmospheric conditions in the grow chamber. The gardening appliance may be operable to activate a compressor of the environmental control system to circulate a refrigerant through a sealed system of the environmental control system. The refrigerant enters the compressor at a suction side of the compressor and the refrigerant entering the compressor has a pressure that corresponds to a saturation temperature below the freezing point of water. The gardening appliance may be further operable to flow air across a heat exchange surface of the sealed system. The heat exchange surface of the sealed system is upstream of the grow chamber with respect to the air flow direction, and the heat exchange surface has a temperature above the freezing point of water.
