ABSTRACT:
A videotape storage cabinet is disclosed which includes a housing having a base portion supporting a videotape cooling compartment, a heat sink compartment, and a top, the top for supporting the videotape user equipment. A temperature controlled thermoelectric heat pump is mounted between the compartments with a cold sink and a heat sink extending into the cooling and heating compartments, respectively. The cold sink provides videotape bins designed to support videotapes individually for cooling by the cold sink. A drawer is provided in the cooling compartment for a drying agent. The drying agent may be in either packaged form or bulk form for placement in the drawer. The drying agent is to control the moisture content of the cold air in the cooling compartment. The controlled temperature thermoelectric heat pump is set to maintain the cooling compartment to 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit, and the drying agent sufficient to maintain the relative humidity between 35-45 percent for preservation of the videotapes during storage. The drying agent can be replaced by a small dehumidifying thermoelectric heat pump mounted in the cooling compartment, and a drain provided to remove the moisture.
