Humidification for cold stores
In a cold store for organic products such as fruits and vegetables, humidity is high to avoid the deterioration and weight loss of products. The objective is indeed to prevent water loss from food and therefore not only changes in weight, but also in appearance, nutrition and other features - ultimately quality product.
The humidification systems main task is to compensate for the moisture that condenses on the evaporators in the cooling system; otherwise the air dries very quickly, causing deterioration of the food.
