Abstract
A portable packing table having a temperature-controlled work area is provided. The table defines a chamber for dry ice or like substance and has a surface on which an open-topped upright chimney is mounted for receiving a flow of conditioned air from the chamber and for defining a temperature-controlled work area therein. A fan unit is connected to the table for forcing a flow of ambient air into the chamber, and a control unit is connected to the fan unit for automatically controlling operation of the fan unit to maintain air temperature within the chimney within a set temperature range.
