ABSTRACT:
An air handler especially for use with a produce storage room has a housing with an air inlet near the bottom and an air outlet near the top. A fan or blower supplies air above atmospheric pressure to the inlet for flow through the housing and discharge from the top thereof and through a duct leading to the storage room. Adjacent the housing there is a water cooler, usually operated in a refrigerator circuit, into which water is introduced from a collector near the bottom of the housing and from which the cooled water is discharged into a distributor in the housing near the top thereof. The distributor, preferably a number of sprays, discharges the cooled water to fall over and through a water and air baffle unit within the housing between the inlet and the outlet thereof and into the collector. The water and air baffle unit has a plurality of expanded metal plates, conveniently of aluminum, extending substantially horizontally across the interior of the housing between the distributor and the collector, with the metal plates vertically separated and supported to provide intervening, cross spaces for air and water flow.
