Will this be suitable for a meat curing chamber. I have a fridge and a humidifier and i need to regulate power to both to keep 55F and 65% humidity?

Yes. that is what I bought it for and I have tested it with appliances. I had a problem with the first unit in that the humidity sensor was 8% off compared to two other humidity sensors I had. They shipped a new one to replace at no expense or even having to ship the defective unit back.

I do not see any reason why it would not work, but it seems to me that a dehumidifier would be more appropriate because moisture will be eminating from the meat.

I used this on my refrigerator and didn't know the exact compressor size either. My refrigerator draws 7.2 amps and this device has been on my refrigerator for more than a year and has worked perfectly. Look on your rating label where it gives the model and serial number for the refrigerator. If your refrigerator uses 7.5 amps at 115/120 volts or less then this device should work fine for you.

I love this dehumidifier! However, I bought it to solve a problem in a very small space, on purpose, because I also needed it to keep the space above freezing in winter. It does have the ability to be set for a specific humidity, if you want, of 40, 50, or 60%, another thing I love about it, as I need it to prevent mold so keep it set at 40%, and it does a great job. Hope you get your answer for the size space you need.

I would not recommend that. There is an inline control switch which may not handle the humidity well in a sauna or steam room.

I don't think so. The humidity is set at a fixed amount. I think this is more of a air purifier than a humidifier.

I use it to keep my fermentation chamber at 68 degrees F.It has 2 switches in it, one is wired for below the set temp and the other is for above the set temp. For my purposes it is wired to an outlet. One of the plugs is powered when the temp goes below 68, and turns on a heat lamp. If the temp goes over 68 the lamp shuts off and the other plug is turned on and this is running a refrigerator compressor, cooling the space down to 68,You wont have a cooling system for a reptile tank, but it will run a heat lamp just fine when the temp drops below whatever you require.

I believe the user who mentioned "sub-zero temperatures" was talking about using it in his basement when the outside temperatures were below zero. He didn't mean to suggest the humidifier itself was being used in a sub-zero environment

NO it's to small. You also need to remember that you will need a large Inverter probably 2000 watt or more to start the compressor. I am running a 130 watt refrigerator with 2 100 watt panels, and it's powered by a 750 watt Inverter that just starts it. My opinion is with today's technology it is not practical to run A/C.

This humidistat is a mechanical switch. It's non-powered. So whatever you put it in series with it will turn on and shut off depending on the setting and ambient humidity. As humidity rises above the setpoint, at some point above the deadband the switch will open. When humidity falls below the setpoint, at some point the switch will close. The deadband is 5% of the ambient humidity. I have mine connected to an 120VAC circuit and it works fine. I do not know how many amps it can handle but the connections are 18AWG solid which can handle 14amps. I would not try to load it that high...maybe 10 amps tops. If you are wiring it in series with a solenoid it should be fine because solenoid current is usually in the milliamp range. So the answer is yes if the solenoid you are connecting it to turns on the humidifier. The wiring is also rated to 300VAC so provided you are using voltage under that you should also be fine.

I'm using it to maintain rH for my dry curing / fermentation of sausages in an old fridge. So far it works good.

Hi Cleve, I've only used this product for my whole house humidifier, I would check with the manufacturer of your air cooler to make sure it is safe to use.

This is the wrong device for your needs. It has only one probe so you can't measure 2 temperatures. Also the lowest temperature it is rated for is 14 deg. F. so not suitable for freezer at all. It is really meant for measuring relative humidity.

Thank you for your interest in Goedeker's! This will not have an adjustable humidity level. Frigidaire does not give any specifications as to what level it is suppose to maintain. I'm sorry for the lack of information available. If there are any other questions we can help with, please feel free to call us at 1-888-768-1710. Thank you and have a great weekend! -Danielle at Goedeker's

yes... I'm using it on a reach in fridge to ferment beer and can control the temp on the beer to a specific degree. remember it only allows 10amps.

chances are your fridge is very efficient and does not use a measurable amount of power on standby, but it will jump when the compressor kicks in. If you can hear the fridge running, it's guaranteed that you should be getting a measurable watts reading

I haven't tried the highest setting yet but I don't think it'll go beyond 0. I wouldn't use it for meats though....you probably need a stronger refrigerator for that.

I use mine to keep a relatively Uninsulated mudroom at a decent temperature and with it on low. Just make sure you have it on its own power supply and not a power strip. It's a powerful little thing.
