Shipping Containers Air conditioning, Heating, and Ventilation
Temperature is one of the most important deciding factors for cargo quality and shipping container maintenance . Fluctuation in heat and humidity can lead to "container sweating" or "container rain". Let's take a look at its side effects and how it impacts the health of the cargo inside. Why should we consider Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for our steel shipping containers? What is container sweat? Any cool object gathers moisture and starts to sweat in case it is suddenly placed in a hotter ambient atmosphere. The same moisture condensation happens for metal shipping containers to incase they journey from a relatively cold area to a warmer atmosphere. The interior ceiling of the cargo container starts to gather "container sweat" that rains down on the cargo with a rise in temperature. How does it affect the health of our goods? "Container sweat" is not to be taken lightly because slight neglect can mean a severe...
