Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007127961A2] A frost resistant freezer includes a freezer chamber, a door, a cooler, and a desiccant. The freezer chamber has a volume. The door provides access to the freezer chamber. The cooler cools air within the freezer chamber from a first temperature within the chamber immediately following closure of the door to a second, quiescent temperature during a cooling period. The desiccant is disposed within the freezer chamber and is selected to absorb moisture from the freezer chamber at a rate sufficient to reduce the relative humidity within the freezer chamber to a value low enough to prevent the formation of frost within the freezer chamber at the quiescent temperature.
