  1. Humidifying Your Refrigerated Storage Facilities

  2. How Do You Control Shrink Caused by Dehydration?

  3. Raise the Relative Humidity Level in Your Facility!

  4. Adding KES Ultra Humidity Saves You Money! KES Ultra Humidity Systems feed refrigeration coils with the moisture they pull from the air when cooling the room. 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.

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

  6. What Types of Storage Areas Can Be Humidified?

  7. Large Refrigerated Warehouses

  8. Refrigerated Walk-in Coolers

  9. Floral Storage Areas

  10. Ripening Rooms

  11. Why Does My Product Dehydrate So Quickly in Cold Storage?

  12. Refrigeration Dries the Air Air will hold a specific amount of water based on the temperature of the air. As air temperature decreases, the amount of water vapor that can remain in the air also decreases. 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.

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

  14. Plants Constantly Lose Their Moisture Photosynthesis makes plants turn light energy into food and is the reason they lose water, or transpire. During photosynthesis, plants transpire from every square inch of their surface area. This water is eventually evaporated (or condensed.) 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.

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