How to Prevent Shipping Container Condensation

If you’ve ever shipped a container full of goods and received it back with condensation lining the interior walls, you know how frustrating it can be. It’s not just an eyesore—it’s also dangerous for your goods if water gets inside the container. But don’t worry! There are ways to prevent this from happening in the first place. Here are some tips on how to keep your shipping containers dry:

The first step in preventing condensation is to make sure the container is properly ventilated.

The first step in preventing condensation is to make sure the container is properly ventilated.

• Make sure there is a gap between the door and the container. This will allow for air circulation, which helps prevent condensation from forming inside your shipping container.
• Use a fan to help ventilate the interior of the container. You can use this same fan during hot summer months when you want to cool down your cargo space, or even during winter months when you need warmth! Be sure not block any vents with boxes or other items so they can continue doing their job properly!

You can also install a desiccant wheel to remove moisture from the air.

You can also install a desiccant wheel to remove moisture from the air. Desiccant wheels are made of a material that absorbs water, such as silica gel or molecular sieves. As they turn, they pull moisture out of the air and into their pores. They’re good for dry climates and should be placed near your shipping container’s roof so that it can catch any condensation before it drips down onto your belongings. They usually cost less than $100 USD per unit, making them an affordable option for keeping humidity at bay!

Running a dehumidifier or air conditioner will also help keep your shipping container dry.

Running a dehumidifier or air conditioner will also help keep your shipping container dry. A dehumidifier removes moisture from the air and is ideal for maintaining low humidity levels in your shipping container. An air conditioner does the opposite–it keeps the temperature cool, which prevents condensation on windows and walls when it’s hot outside. Both can be installed in a shipping container if needed, but you should consider how much power they use before making this decision because they will add to your monthly electricity bill if used frequently during hot weather months (and most people don’t want to pay extra money just because they’re living in an apartment-sized box).

If you have a lot of moisture and humidity, consider using insulation on the inside of your container.

If you have a lot of moisture and humidity, consider using insulation on the inside of your container. This will help keep the container dry by keeping it warm.

Insulation can be installed in any number of ways, but we recommend using spray foam insulation so that it’ll be easier for you to remove if need be. You should also make sure that it’s installed properly by following these instructions:

Use these tips to keep your container dry, no matter how long it sits in storage

Here are some tips for keeping your containers dry no matter how long they sit in storage.

• Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to remove excess moisture from the air inside of your container. You can also use insulation on the inside walls of your shipping container, which will help prevent condensation from forming on them in warmer weather.
• Ensure proper ventilation by installing vents at both ends of your container, as well as one or two large vents along its length if possible (one every 10 feet). This will allow hot air to escape while preventing drafts from entering through cracks between doors and windows or other openings that let in wind-driven rainwater during storms.* Install a desiccant wheel–a device that absorbs moisture–in each room where you store items so that excess humidity doesn’t build up over time.*

Conclusion

If you have a lot of moisture and humidity in your shipping container, consider using insulation on the inside. This will help keep things dry and prevent condensation from forming on your walls. You can also install a desiccant wheel to remove moisture from the air or run an air conditioner if necessary. If none of these solutions work for you then maybe it’s time to invest in a new container!
