...32 F and 95-98% RH is good for storing sweet corn.

Making the coil temp close to 32 F seems like a good idea. Or misting
the corn or the floor of the box when the RH falls. Who cares whether
the air flows in magical circular paths?

The humidity ratio of 32 F air at 98% RH is 0.00379, no? The same as
70 F air at 24% RH. If we open the door when the room RH is higher 
(quite likely), room air will condense more water inside the box.
