more optional stationary racks 26 27 an interchange mechanism 40 and a climate controlled chamber 60 that is generally disposed on a wall 11 of the freezer compartment 10 or associated housing 2 a central control system 80 is coupled to the storage carousel 20 interchange mechanism 40 and climate controlled chamber 60 for controlling their operations generally the control system 80 controls the operation of the apparatus so that the containers can be loaded from the exterior into the climate controlled chamber 60 for retrieval by the interchange mechanism 40 for insertion onto the carousel 20 in the freezer compartment 10 stored containers subsequently can be retrieved from the carousel 20 by the interchange mechanism 40 and available to be taken away to the exterior through the climate controlled chamber 60 fig2 b shows a perspective partial view of the wall 11 of the compartment and or door of the housing mounted on the wall 11 are the climate controlled chamber 60 and a touch screen interface 82 as will be discussed later it is envisioned that a control system and computer system can be accessed directly by using the touch screen interface 82 and or remotely by a stand alone personal computer or with a local area network lan next details of the climate controlled chamber 60 will be provided as best shown in fig3 and 4 a 4 b a particularly desirable feature is that the climate controlled chamber 60 prevents ambient humid air from entering the interior of freezer compartment 10.
