    Separating water from air in a fridge

    I have an issue with how much moisture is in my fridge and I am looking to increase the percentage of water that gets into my fridge, if not completely. I understand that the companies who manufacture the fridge allow a decent amount to keep freshness but for the sake of knowledge I would like to understand how a fridge separates the moisture at all.

    The water is separated at the evaporator coil by condensation...

    I'm not sure humidity is good for preserving food...

    You want MORE humidity in your fridge? Well first off, the incoming air blows across the evaporator coil and some water condenses on the coil and drains to the bottom of your fridge into a pan. Also, some fridges have a drain on the bottom that allows water to escape In Air Conditioning a house, roughly 33% of the load is solely used for removing moisture. Cooler air holds less moisture thus creating dew when introduced from room temp air. I agree with Kelly though. I don't know about more moisture...
