Abstract

Appareil et procédé d'humidification d'aliments ou de produits floraux dans un espace clos au moins partiellement, par exemple un bac de présentation, dans lequel un mélange intime d'eau et d'air, de préférence de l'air saturé en vapeur d'eau, est injecté de manière discontinue, soit à des intervalles de temps prédéterminés soit sur demande, dans l'espace. La quantité et éventuellement la température de l'air ainsi injecté sont commandées de façon à provoquer la condensation de l'eau sur la surface des aliments ou des produits floraux et de façon à permettre l'évaporation de l'eau ainsi condensée entre les injections d'air saturé en vapeur d'eau. De cette manière, on effectue l'extraction de la chaleur latente d'évaporation de l'eau à partir des aliments de façon à maintenir la température ainsi que le poids de ceux-ci dans des limites données. De plus ou optionnellement, l'humidité relative de l'atmosphère circulant dans l'espace est maintenue à au moins 80 %.
