Patent attributes
The present disclosure relates to apparatuses/systems and associated methods for controlling an environmental condition inside a container or housing. The apparatus includes (1) a thermoelectric cooling unit having a first side facing away from an inner surface of the housing and a second side facing the inner surface of the housing; (2) a capillary unit having a first part and a second part; and (3) a sensor positioned inside the housing and configured to sense a humidity value and a temperature value inside the housing. The first part is coupled to the thermoelectric cooling unit and is positioned inside the housing. The second part is positioned outside the housing. If the humidity value is greater than a humidity threshold and the temperature value is greater than a temperature threshold, the thermoelectric cooling unit removes moisture in the housing, and the first part of the capillary unit collects the removed moisture and transmits the removed moisture to the second part of the capillary unit.
