; Hot rooms used in the drying of jellies and gums are maintained at 129,to 150 F.. A purge system using 100 percent outside air, bypassing the heating coil, is incorporated to produce rapid ooobng of both the
product and the room. Cold rooms for cooling marshmallows and cast creams are maintained at 75 to 80 F with a relative hu
midity of 45 to 50 percent. Uniform air distribution is essential.
Standard starch drying equipment is employed/.

Relative humidity has no effect on the manufacture of the products.
Temperature and humidity must.be controlled in the decorating shop in the whiteware plants, and the decalcomania production room.
Dust control is essential, and the dust count must be held down to four million particles per cubic foot due to the danger of silicosis.

Careful -consideration- must be given to air volumes, air temperatures, humidity, ventilation and dis-
tribution. In regions where end rot is prevalent, it may be necessary to store grapefruit at temperatures of 32 to 54 F
for a penod not exceedingsix weeks.

Lemon and grapefruit storage requires an air conditioning system to (1) maintain a constant temperature, (2) maintain a high relative humidity, (3) ventilate to maintain 0.1% CO* content, (4) obtain uniform air
distribution, and (5) provide air washing or air filtration. Load calculations include (1) transmission losses, (2) internal load-fruit cooling and respiration, cooling
fruit boxes, electric load, and people, and (3) outside air load--72 cfm per carlot.

Approximately 10 percent of the cooling load is considered as latent heat load.
In a conventional system the air required is one cfm' per storage box or 650 cfm per carload, resulting in a "mail temperature rise in the supply air making possible the required high humidities.
In a combination system the air required is one cfm per sq ft of floor area.or 300 cfm per carlot with-the
addition of auxiliary humidifying nozzles to maintain the required high humidities.

Installation of metal: ducts is required. Ductwork made of insulation board is sometimes preferred;!
