Question about Wine Coolerdor RH%
OK... I live in SoCal so I'm building a Wine Coolerdor as the summer heat is coming. I'm wondering about the RH% and how low it dips during the cooling phase. I have an EdgeStar 28 Bottle Thermoelectric Wine Cooler (model TWR281S) and I hooked it up to a Temp Controller set with a 69F set point and 4 degree cooling zone to keep everything at 69-65 F. I have 2 pounds of Viper's 65% beads working hard to keep RH where it should be but I'm seeing big dips in RH during the cooling cycle and wonder if that is normal? Here is a chart of min by min Temp and RH% through a whole cycle:
TIME RH% TEMP 0:00 70% 69.0 Start Cycle 0:01 70% 68.9 Start Cooling 0:02 70% 68.7 0:03 70% 68.7 0:04 69% 68.7 0:05 69% 68.7 0:06 68% 68.5 0:07 69% 68.5 0:08 66% 68.4 0:09 65% 68.4 0:10 65% 68.2 0:11 64% 68.4 0:12 64% 68.4 0:13 63% 68.2 0:14 62% 68.2 0:15 62% 68.2 0:16 61% 67.8 0:17 61% 67.8 0:18 60% 67.6 0:19 60% 67.6 0:20 60% 67.5 0:21 59% 67.5 0:22 59% 67.3 0:23 59% 67.3 0:24 58% 67.1 0:25 58% 67.1 0:26 57% 66.9 0:27 57% 66.9 0:28 57% 66.9 0:29 56% 66.7 0:30 56% 66.7 0:31 56% 66.9 0:32 56% 66.9 0:33 57% 66.9 0:34 57% 66.9 0:35 57% 66.9 0:36 56% 66.7 0:37 56% 66.6 0:38 55% 66.6 0:39 55% 66.4 0:40 56% 66.4 0:41 56% 66.4 0:42 55% 66.4 0:43 55% 66.2 0:44 55% 66.2 0:45 55% 66.2 0:46 55% 66.0 0:47 55% 66.0 0:48 55% 66.0 0:49 55% 66.0 0:50 55% 65.8 0:51 55% 66.0 0:52 55% 66.0 0:53 54% 66.2 0:54 54% 66.0 0:55 55% 66.0 0:56 55% 65.8 0:57 54% 65.7 0:58 54% 65.7 0:59 54% 65.7 1:00 54% 65.5 1:01 54% 65.5 1:02 54% 65.5 1:03 54% 65.5 1:04 54% 65.3 End Cooling 1:05 54% 65.5 1:06 55% 65.7 1:07 56% 65.7 1:08 58% 65.8 1:09 58% 65.8 1:10 59% 66.0 1:11 59% 66.0 1:12 59% 66.2 1:13 59% 66.2 1:14 60% 66.2 1:15 60% 66.2 1:16 60% 66.4 1:17 61% 66.4 1:18 62% 66.4 1:19 62% 66.4 1:20 63% 66.6 1:21 63% 66.6 1:22 63% 66.6 1:23 64% 66.6 1:24 64% 66.7 1:25 64% 66.7 1:26 64% 66.7 1:27 64% 66.7 1:28 65% 66.9 1:29 65% 66.9 1:30 65% 66.9 1:31 65% 66.9 1:32 66% 67.1 1:33 66% 67.1 1:34 66% 67.1 1:35 67% 67.3 1:36 67% 67.3 1:37 67% 67.3 1:38 67% 67.3 1:39 67% 67.3 1:40 67% 67.5 1:41 67% 67.5 1:42 67% 67.5 1:43 67% 67.5 1:44 67% 67.5 1:45 67% 67.6 1:46 67% 67.6 1:47 67% 67.6 1:48 68% 67.6 1:49 68% 67.6 1:50 69% 67.8 1:51 69% 67.8 1:52 69% 68.0 1:53 68% 68.0 1:54 68% 68.0 1:55 68% 68.0 1:56 68% 68.0 1:57 68% 68.0 1:58 68% 68.0 1:59 68% 68.2 2:00 68% 68.2 2:01 68% 68.2 2:02 68% 68.2 2:03 68% 68.2 2:04 68% 68.4 2:05 68% 68.4 2:06 68% 68.4 2:07 68% 68.4 2:08 68% 68.4 2:09 68% 68.4 2:10 68% 68.4 2:11 69% 68.5 2:12 69% 68.5 2:13 69% 68.5 2:14 69% 68.5 2:15 69% 68.7 2:16 69% 68.7 2:17 69% 68.7 2:18 69% 68.7 2:19 69% 68.7 2:20 69% 68.7 2:21 69% 68.7 2:22 69% 68.9 2:23 69% 68.9 2:24 70% 69.0 End Of Cycle Average 64% 67.2 High 70% 69.0 Low 54% 65.3 I'm happy with the Average RH% but don't like the dips down to 54%... Is this normal? I know that I will see some dip during the cooling phase but I was not expecting the dips to be this low.
