Abstract
A dough proofing chamber is described. The chamber is rectangular in cross section having a hollow base with an inlet into the interior of the chamber therein and a ceiling having an outlet with a duct placing the outlet in communication with the interior of the base. An evaporator and heater are disposed within the base adjacent the outlet and a circulating fan draws air from within the chamber through the outlet and duct and blows the air across the heater and evaporator and into the inlet into the interior. In order to insure uniform temperature and humidity conditions throughout the chamber, a diverter plate is disposed spaced above and covering the inlet. The diverter plate slopes from the front to the rear so that opposed nozzles are formed on either side which admit a greater flow toward the rear of the chamber of heated water vapor. A diverter plate is also disposed covering and spaced below the outlet in the ceiling. This diverter plate, however, is parallel to the ceiling.
