  • Patent number: 5532456
    Abstract: Disclosed is a temperature and humidity controllable doorless oven for cooking, warming and storing food products for extended periods of time. The oven includes a cabinet having interior walls and exterior walls which form an air duct between the walls. An interior oven chamber is formed within the interior walls with the cabinet providing an access opening into the interior oven chamber. A controllable heating element generates a warm environment inside the interior oven chamber and a humidifier generates a moist environment. To maintain the warm and moist environment inside the interior oven chamber, an air stream which forms an air curtain is moved through the air duct and across the access opening.

  • Patent number: 5461878
    Abstract: A heat transfer device for cooling a fluid has powered means for moving the fluid to create a primary fluid flow, a heat exchanger, and direction controlling surfaces for directing the primary fluid flow toward and through a first portion of the heat exchanger, thereby cooling the fluid flow. The direction controlling surfaces then split the primary fluid flow into a first and second subsidiary fluid flow, and direct the second subsidiary fluid flow through a second portion of the heat exchanger, thereby cooling it to a second temperature which is lower than the first temperature.
