Avoid Condensation and Moisture in Your Container
Moisture can quickly build up inside a container if it lacks ventilation, but the problem is also easy to solve by installing a dehumidifier. In this article, we take a look at how you can prevent moisture-related issues in your container.
Applications for Containers
Today, there are many applications for containers. Although they were originally built for transporting goods over long distances, it is now common to acquire a container for everything from storage to break rooms on construction sites.
Applications for containers:
- Transport
- Long-term storage
- Break rooms
- Disposal and/or sorting of materials
It is important to keep in mind that there are both insulated and non-insulated containers. Since moisture can accumulate in a container, it is advisable to choose an insulated variant if you plan to store electrical and battery-powered tools in it. In a non-insulated container, the risk of moisture damage is higher, and in the worst case, mold may begin to grow.
Why does condensation and moisture form in a container?
It is common for moisture and condensation to form inside a container. The reason for this is that the cold, humid air has nowhere to escape within the four walls. This is usually due to a lack of heating, ventilation, and dehumidification. Condensation forms on the cold metal, causing humidity levels to rise.
What can happen if moisture problems are ignored?
If moisture in a container is ignored, it can quickly lead to serious issues. The specific problems depend on what is being stored inside. Condensation in a container can, among other things, cause damage to electronics, tools, and equipment. It can also lead to rust and mold growth on various materials, for example, if you store textiles in the container.
Sorption Dehumidifier in the Container - A Smart Solution
If you plan to use a container for storage or long-term keeping, it is crucial to install a dehumidifier that ensures proper air circulation and prevents excessive humidity. Perhaps you intend to use a container as a storage unit or for long-distance transportation. If you need to store sensitive contents in the container, some form of moisture control is necessary, especially if heating and ventilation are lacking. A dehumidifier can also help dry wet work clothes or equipment.
The best solution is to install a sorption dehumidifier to protect against moisture in the container, but you can also try moisture-absorbing materials such as silica gel or desiccant bags.
