I think that they are used in the baking industry.
Doing a Google on "Refrigeration proofer" brought up some such as here...

Thank you Brian, I appreciate your effort. I'm still trying to relate how it may be applied to industrial refrigeration.

Re: What's a proofer?
Sometimes the proofers are cooled to retard the rate of the dough rising.
If all else fails, ask for help.

Re: What's a proofer?
they use a water spray on a heating element to create a humid warm atmosphere, for the proofing of dough.
They've usually got the gubbins on top of the unit and are made of stainless steel all through.
I've worked on a few, but they're usually rotted to hell with the flour dust and water and everything else in the bakery atmosphere.
Hobart is the big maker over here.
