How do you stop cargo sweat?
How do you stop cargo sweat? Insulating your shipping container can greatly reduce the amount of moisture in the air and prevent container rain. Container insulation can keep the contents of your cargo warmer than the dew point, preventing the extreme temperature differences that lead to condensation.
What is the difference between cargo sweat and ship sweat?
When air moisture settles on the cargo, it is referred to as 'cargo sweat'. Condensation on the ship's structural elements inside the cargo hold is called 'ship sweat'. Both phenomena are directly related to the dew point, the temperature at which air becomes saturated with water, triggering condensation.
What is the 3 degree rule?
'Dew Point Rule'or 'Three Degree Rule' The Three Degree Rule states that a cargo hold should be ventilated when the dry bulb temperature of the outside air is at least 3°C lower than the temperature of the cargo.
