VEGETABLE PRESERVER

PURPOSE:To maintain the inside of a preserver in a highly humidified state while preventing dew condensation on the inner wall of the preserver and to make the temperature in the preserver uniform so that vegetables can be preserved stably by a method wherein the temperature inside the preserver is kept around 1 deg.C and the humidity inside the preserver is made almost saturated by a means for cooling the inside of the preserver which is installed around the preserver and an air current is formed along the inner wall of the preserver. CONSTITUTION:Vegetables 19 are put in basckets 13 and a refrigerant is made to flow through an evaporator 8 of a freezer which is provided around sides of an outer box 1a, so that temperature in the preserver 1 is made as low as about 1 deg.C at which the vegetables are preserved. The humidity in the preserver 1 is kept saturated. A fan 17 is driven, and air supplied by the fan 17 is made to circulate in such a way that the air enters a hollow part 15 and is jetted out of a slit 18 to flow along an inner wall of an inner box 1b, and then flows along a bottom surface of the inner box 1b and finally returns to the fan 17 through between the basckets 13. In this instance, an air bordering film part can be thin by the air jetted from the slit 18. As a result, temerature difference between on an inner wall surface of the inner box 1b and inside of the inner box 1b can be made small enough to prevent dew condensation on the inner surface of the inner box 1b. Thus, humidity in the inner box 1b can be prevented from decreasing, and therefore, the vegetables can be preserved stably in a highly humidified state.
