Today we will talk about the use of shipping containers vents and what they can do to protect what is within the container.
When the temperature from the inside of the container differs from the temperature of the outside, this can cause condensation. This can create damage to the products if they are moisture sensitive. Usually, when this occurs, it will form along the roof of the container and the first six inches of the container. This can damage to any of your stored goods.
The placement of shipping container vents in these kinds of containers is key to how they will work. For example, if the vent is located on the side of the container, placing containers adjacent to each other would prove useless. For the best air flow through the container, it is optimal to have a vent on both ends of the container and one at the top and bottom. This will allow a circular air flow and be able to regulate both cool air as well as warm. Due to the placements, you can rest assured that your freight is safe from the elements.
There is quite a bit more to shipping container vents than some may think;
The first thing you must keep in mind is what is in the container and how sensitive is it. This will give you a greater understanding of the ventilation you may need. For example, if you have a load of hardwood flooring that is extremely vulnerable to moisture, you would want to increase your ventilation greatly. The same is true with food products and other perishables.
Shipping container vents can make all the difference in the world for the safety of the goods inside.
With that in mind, this is quite a simple method of protection. If you require a higher level of protection you may want to explore the use of extra protection, such as a dehumidifier or fans in combination of the vents. If you choose to use this type of product for your containers, it’s important to use external plumbing to remove the water. This is to prevent recirculation.
In conclusion, the name of the game is to protects the contents of these containers. The use of shipping container vents is one great way to ensure that your goods are protected.
