Embodiment Construction

[0027] Example embodiments disclosed herein may reduce waste and increase profitability, for example, by extending the usable life of food products. In particular, the configurations, methods and systems disclosed herein can optimize storage variables, including storage temperature and relative humidity, through controllable devices.

[0028] Furthermore, embodiments disclosed herein may allow for multiple set points (e.g., different temperature, humidity values, and airflow rates) that may each correspond to a particular product to be stored in the cabinet Type or category (for example, the inventors have determined that it is possible to extend the life of different products, but this extension may require different settings for each different food product). In addition, the invention disclosed herein can extend product quality for a longer period of time while the food product is kept in the cabinet.

[0029] Still further, in certain configurations, the invention disclose...

Abstract

A holding cabinet includes a body defining a holding space and a holding compartment disposed within the holding space for holding a product therein. The holding cabinet further includes a heating source, a steam generator, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a product detector, and a controller. The controller is configured to regulate environmental conditions of the holding compartment according to a determined setpoint, which corresponds to a predetermined temperature and relative humidity. The controller regulates such environmental conditions by acquiring the sensed air temperature, relative humidity, and the detected type of product, and activating and deactivating the heating source and the steam generator in accordance with the acquired air temperature, relative humidity, and the determined setpoint corresponding to the type of product detected and a holding time of the product, to maintain the air temperature and the relative humidity within a predetermined range based on the determined setpoint.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 945,069, filed February 26, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a preservation cabinet that provides a more consistent and precise preservation environment for food products. In particular, the present invention relates to a storage cabinet that provides a more consistent and precise storage environment for food products by providing control of environmental conditions within the storage cabinet. Background technique [0004] A need exists for a food preservation device that maintains food at a substantially uniform temperature for a selected period of time while preserving the taste, moisture content, texture and quality of the food. Also, in other applications it is desirable to be able to restore food products to acceptable quality after long periods of ...
