Lower RH with lower temp?

03-13-2010, 05:57 AM

I recently received and setup my Edgestar 28 bottle unit, and after a few days, things have settled down nicely. I do have one question however. I have 1.5lbs of heartfelt 65% beads in my fridge, and the RH is ~66% with the fridge off and just sitting there. When I turn the fridge on (~60F), the RH drops to about 60%. Is this something that is normal? It is the thermoelectric unit, not compressor based, so I know it is not that.

Is it just the lower temp lowers the RH? Which is more desirable, 60% @ 60F or 65% at 70F?
