Default Re: VinoTemp Humidity Test Results

I'm excited to see all your data. Thanks for sharing, Chuck!!!
So far, all I can remark is that oust fans don't move enough air to make a difference. At all. Period.
In a cooler, they're great. That's cause a cooler never gets opened and closed.
It's a whole different animal.

When the peltier kicks on, or the evaporator kicks on in any cooler/vino, the humidity will drop rapidly. It's supposed to. (Your results are going to show that.)
That's because the water in the air is condensed on the cooling element.
Once the fan dries that water from the element, it'll return the water to the air, and you have a zero loss/gain of water in the humi. A net aggregate zero loss/gain.
That's what we're after.
If a guy doesn't plug his drain or the humi leaks, all bets are off.
That's why vinos are so awesome for keeping cigars. They don't leak.

Some day I'll put a refrigeration cycle as it pertains to our hobby in picture/web format. It's so simple. It'd help so much.
I'm just too busy convalescing and chasing wild women.
