Abstract: A refrigeration system including a storage chamber configured to store a product at a predetermined temperature. The storage chamber is defined by an inner wall. The inner wall at least partially defines an air plenum. The inner wall includes an opening wall surface, a floor surface, a rear wall surface and a ceiling wall surface. The system also includes a refrigerant circuit including a compressor, a condenser, a condenser fan, an evaporator and an evaporator fan arranged and disposed in an operable configuration to provide refrigeration to the storage chamber. The air plenum includes a conduit arranged and disposed to convey air from an air inlet across the evaporator and into a discharge chamber and out an air outlet. The air outlet is configured to discharge cooled air in a direction toward the opening wall surface.

Abstract: An environmentally controlled chamber system. The system includes an insulated enclosure having an access door and a humidification/dehumidification chamber enclosure arranged and disposed to provide humidification or dehumidification to the insulated enclosure. The system also includes a refrigerant loop having an enclosure evaporator, a dehumidification evaporator, at least one condenser, a variable speed compressor and piping for directing refrigerant from the variable speed compressor to the enclosure evaporator, the dehumidification evaporator, and the at least one condenser. An electrical heating element is arranged and disposed adjacent to the enclosure evaporator to selectively provide heat to at least a portion of the enclosure evaporator. A method for controlling the environmentally controlled chamber system is also disclosed.
