The invention relates to a climate controlled cabinet with a common controller (300) for climate and handling of the goods to be stored. By means of this design the construction and operation can be simplified and the climate control can be improved. To further improve the climate control, a heating as well as a cooling device (242, 244) are provided such that heat generated by the handling device (620) can be dissipated when necessary.

The invention claimed is: 1. A climate controlled cabinet comprising: a cabinet housing; a climate controlled chamber located within the cabinet housing; a climatization device for generating a given temperature and atmosphere within the climate controlled chamber; a plurality of storage towers arranged within the generated given temperature and atmosphere within the climate controlled chamber, wherein each storage tower comprises a plurality of storage positions arranged above each other for objects to be stored and is removable from the climate controlled chamber; and a handling device arranged in the climate controlled chamber for manipulating the objects, wherein, within the generated given temperature and atmosphere within said climate controlled chamber, at least two of the plurality of storage towers are arranged one above the other and at least two of the plurality of towers are arranged beside each other. 2. A climate controlled cabinet comprising: a cabinet housing; a climate controlled chamber located within the cabinet housing; a climatization device for generating a given temperature and atmosphere within the climate controlled chamber; a plurality of storage towers arranged within the generated given temperature and atmosphere within the climate controlled chamber, wherein each storage tower comprises a plurality of storage positions arranged above each other for objects to be stored and is removable from the climate controlled chamber; a handling device arranged in the climate controlled chamber for manipulating the objects; and at least two rotatable carousels located within the generated given temperature and atmosphere within the climate controlled chamber and arranged on top of each other for receiving the storage towers. wherein, within the generated given temperature and atmosphere within said climate controlled chamber, at least two of the plurality of storage towers are one arranged above the other. 3. The climate controlled cabinet of claim 1 having exactly two levels of storage towers arranged above each other. 4. A climate controlled cabinet comprising: a cabinet housing; a climate controlled chamber located within the cabinet housing; a climatization device comprising a cooling device for at least one of generating and maintaining a given temperature within the climate controlled chamber and an atmosphere control to generate a given atmosphere within the climate controlled chamber; at least two rotatable carousels located within the climate controlled chamber and on top of each other, wherein each carousel carries a plurality of storage towers, and each storage tower comprises a plurality of storage positions arranged one above the other for objects to be stored and is removable from the climate controlled chamber; a handling device arranged in the climate controlled chamber for manipulating the objects; and wherein, within said climate controlled chamber, at least two of the plurality of storage towers are arranged one above the other. 5. The climate controlled cabinet of claim 4, wherein the climatization device further comprises a heating device. 6. The climate controlled cabinet of claim 4, wherein the at least two rotatable carousels are arranged within the at least one of the generated and maintained temperature and the generated atmosphere within the climate controlled chamber.
