Zusammenfassung:A humidity control system (10, 110, 300) for a wine cooler may include a damper (14, 114) configured to control airflow (16, 116) between a cabinet (18) defining an interior (20) and the humidity control system (10, 110, 300), a heater (22, 122) configured to receive the airflow (16, 116), a porous medium (24, 124) disposed proximate to the heater (22, 122), a water inlet (26, 126) configured to selectively supply water to the porous medium (24, 124) and a controller (30) configured to adjust a supply of water (28, 128) to the water inlet (26, 126). Upon a humidification signal the controller (30) may adjust the damper (14, 114) to allow the passage of airflow (16, 116) from the interior (20) of the cabinet (18) to the heater (22, 122) and the porous medium (24, 124). The airflow (16, 116) may be humidified via the porous medium (24, 124) and the humidified airflow (16, 116) may be returned to the interior (20) of the cabinet (18).
