A method includes receiving moisturized air from a refrigerated room and absorbing, in a portion of a desiccant wheel, moisture from the moisturized air, wherein absorbing moisture from the moisturized air produces dehumidified air. The method further includes discharging the dehumidified air to the refrigerated room.

A combination light and pressure relief vent (10) is disclosed which includes a housing (11), a valve assembly (12), and a light assembly (13). The housing include a multi-radial positionable valve body (16), port tube (17), and an outside louver (18). The valve assembly includes a low positive pressure exhaust valve (57), a high positive pressure exhaust valve (59), a low negative pressure intake valve (61), and a high negative pressure intake valve (62). The light assembly includes a heat sink casing (68) which defines a heat chamber (37) and which includes a projection (80) extending into the heat chamber. The casing is coupled to an LED module (57) wherein heat generated by the LED module is transferred through the casing to the heat chamber to warm the valve assembly.

A refrigeration cycle of a refrigerator includes a first refrigeration cycle in which a first refrigerant flows along a first refrigerant tube and a second refrigeration cycle in which a second refrigerant flows along a second refrigerant tube. First and second compressors compress each of the first and second refrigerants, and a combined condenser condenses each of the first and second refrigerants. First and second expansion valves phase-change each of the first and second refrigerants passing through the combined condenser, and first and second evaporators change the refrigerant passing through each of the first and second expansion valves into a low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant.
