ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for circulating high temperature air at approximately 20,000 cubic feet per minute through an enclosed room in which fruit are stacked in sweat boxes on pallets. A fan draws the heated air from a heat source into a plurality of inlet ports at the bottom of the housing. A damper position at each of the inlet ports deflects the hot air entering the drying room upwardly between the stacks of containers in the drying room and the corresponding side wall of the housing towards said top, the hot air passing between the top of the stacks of containers in the room and the top of the housing, and down between the stacks of containers in the room and the opposite side wall of the housing. A recirculating port in the first-named side wall through which the fan draws the air from the opposite side wall between the individual containers in the stacks and across the fruit within the containers and back to the inlet of said source.
