I generally set people up with climate controlled rooms as it’s more dependable then freezers as possible condensation issues could be a nightmare.
But they want to use a -30C reefer freezer storage container to store their 5% water content biomass and hadn’t rly heard of people using these reefers before to store biomass.
Concerned about the condensation cause it’s not incredibly cold but definitely cold enough to freeze and trap moisture and dehumidify the air. But haven’t used it so didn’t feel comfortable giving them a green light on using a method I haven’t personally used.
Has anyone approached biomass storage in this way? What’s y’alls opinion?
I’d say -30C is plenty for maintaining biomass for extended periods. Some suggestions would be, maintain a consistently low %Relative Humidity (use an externally attached dehumidifier and/or plenty of dessicant packs that are switched frequently) and vacuum seal your biomass.
At that point, additional water retention due to condensation and refreezing of ambient humidity shouldn’t be a concern.
Also, sorry I never got a chance to call you back brother
What? No.
Humidity is the relative number of water molecules in a system.
And, heat basically is the temperature, and is the average kinetic energy of the particles in the system. You can also use the term heat to refer to enthalpy, basically it’s a kind of energy. These two things are related, enthalpy added to system increases temperature.
When you cool a system you can condense water out of the air but that doesn’t mean humidity and temp are the same
Thanks for the humidity lesson. I’m not being sarcastic. I’m only saying that the freezing of biomass is safe as long as you account for equipment break downs. Redundancy is a must.
