FAQ: Vapor Vs. Steam Vs. Humidity
 Patience please. Animation is loading. |
Look at the
animation at left (it may take a moment to load). Notice that when the
door is opened condensed vapor, commonly referred to as 'steam', rises
out of the cabinet. Also notice that inside the cabinet there is no
'steam'. When the cabinet door is closed there is a large amount of
'vapor' in the cabinet but it is invisible. The vapor only becomes
visible ('steam') when the cabinet door is open and the vapor laden air
mixes with the relatively cooler air in the room. Humidity is the amount of water vapor contained in the air usually expressed as a percent relative to the point of saturation. CVap® cabinets operate at temperatures higher than room temperature and are capable of holding a vast amount of water in that higher temperature air. Vaporized water can hold large amounts of heat and can more efficiently transfer that heat to objects (food) than dry air. |
