Abstract
A humidity controlled holding cabinet for storing food products or other items at controlled heat and humidity levels having an environment conditioning system. The system comprises a chamber with at least one access and containing heat and humidity detection devices which signal a microprocessor when heat or humidity, or both, deviate from predetermined parameters. The microprocessor controls a heater and a humidity control device that are contained in a module located adjacent to the chamber. Air is drawn from the chamber by a forced air blower and is circulated and recirculated through the module. Depending on the input from the detection devices, the microprocessor will instruct the heater to heat the air or the humidity control device to increase the humidity of the air. The system may also exhaust air containing excess heat or humidity, or both. The system also may be equipped with means to recapture water from exhausted air carrying excess humidity.
