Humidifying Your Refrigerated Storage Facilities

How Do You Control Shrink Caused by Dehydration?

Raise the Relative Humidity Level in Your Facility!

KES Ultra Humidity Systems feed refrigeration coils with the moisture they pull from the air when cooling the room. Adding KES Ultra Humidity Saves You Money! That way, the water that goes to the condensate drain doesn't come straight from your product! The patented, ultra-fine vapor emission from the humidity heads creates optimum relative humidity levels without soaking the product or wetting floors or walls.

For optimum quality - close attention must be paid to humidity in produce and floral storage rooms. For a plant to stay healthy and fresh after it is harvested, it needs to maintain as much moisture as possible.

What Types of Storage Areas Can Be Humidified?

Large Refrigerated Warehouses

Refrigerated Walk-in Coolers

Floral Storage Areas

Ripening Rooms

Why Does My Product Dehydrate So Quickly in Cold Storage?

Refrigeration Dries the Air As air temperature decreases, the amount of water vapor that can remain in the air also decreases. Air will hold a specific amount of water based on the temperature of the air. If the temperature falls and the amount of water vapor in the air remains the same, the vapor must become liquid. The water vapor is pulled out of the air – making the air very dry.

Even low velocity refrigeration units pull moisture out of the air. When the air comes in contact with the cold coils, its temperature quickly drops. Refrigeration works by moving air rapidly across icy cold coils which are filled with liquid refrigerants. Since the colder air can now hold less water vapor, it is "condensed" into liquid and discarded through the condensation drain.

Plants Constantly Lose Their Moisture During photosynthesis, plants transpire from every square inch of their surface area. This water is eventually evaporated (or condensed.) Photosynthesis makes plants turn light energy into food and is the reason they lose water, or transpire. Plants release more than 90% of the water that they absorb. After harvest this process continues and if left unchecked, fruits, vegetables and flowers will eventually become completely dehydrated.

This photo shows just HALF of the surface area of a single carnation. The flower loses moisture content from every inch of its surface.
