1.5 Recommended Operating Temperatures
Your Harvest Right Freeze Dryer is designed to work in a wide variety of temperatures, but extreme
heat and cold will affect performance. The recommended temperature range for operation is 35110
Fahrenheit.
The
most
efficient
temperature
range
is
between
50-75
degrees
Fahrenheit.
Although
safe,
operating
your
freeze
dryer
in
temperatures
above
75
degrees
Fahrenheit
could
affect
batch
times.
As the
temperature
rises
where
your
freeze
dryer
operates,
so
does
the
length
of
time
it takes
to
finish
batches
of
food.
This
happens
because
with
hotter
operating
temperatures
it
is
harder
to
reach
the
extreme
cold
required
by
freeze
drying.
For
example:
a
batch of
food
that
normally
takes
24
hours
to
finish
in a 70
degree
environment
could
take
over
40
hours
to
complete
in
warmer
temperatures.
