  • Patent number: 4078480
    Abstract: An improved storage apparatus for produce stored in an enclosed storage structure. The apparatus provides a cooled airstream having a relative humidity above 95% which is forced around the produce. Water is pressurized by a pump and sprayed into the airstream to create a mist which cools and humidifies the airstream. Chemicals to retard spoilage of the produce can also be included in the water. The water may also be sprayed directly on the produce. Savings are realized and water accumulation in the storage structure is minimized by recirculating condensate from the air distribution system through the spray apparatus. Prolonged equipment life is also obtained by locating the motor for the pump exteriorly of the water spray.
