Problems related to humidity and condensation

basic information

In environments such as factories, warehouses, workspaces, onboard ships, inside containers, and server rooms, humidity and condensation can occur due to differences between outside temperatures and internal temperatures, as well as insufficient ventilation. Generally, condensation tends to occur frequently in places with significant temperature changes or in enclosed spaces, leading to various problems. In particular, areas with large surface areas and high ceilings, which present spatial challenges, tend to have poor air conditioning efficiency, making them more prone to condensation. It is essential to consider the impact on product inventory and machinery within such spaces. Additionally, in food factories, it is difficult to ventilate by opening windows due to hygiene concerns such as insect intrusion, and some facilities do not have windows at all. Stored items like food are susceptible to moisture damage, and moisture left in the facility can lead to bacterial growth, potentially causing food poisoning. Therefore, it is necessary to implement measures to prevent condensation from occurring. For electronic and precision equipment, which are sensitive to humidity, it is essential to regularly check humidity and temperature. However, from the perspective of protecting products from humidity, opening windows for ventilation may be inconvenient, similar to preventing foreign substances from contaminating food. Our company offers a range of products that can help with condensation absorption and prevention in such indoor environments.

Applications/Examples of results

Warehouses, factories, indoor and outdoor areas (especially port areas), product storage and movement on ships, food factories (food processing companies, meat processing companies, etc.), precision parts and electronic equipment manufacturing sites - Prevention of condensation inside container warehouses - Medium to long-term storage of molds - Export of metal parts by overseas shipping - Protection of metal parts and materials in port areas - Inside distribution boards, inside electronic display devices - Prevention of condensation in broad windows such as smoke exhaust windows, inside walls, and flooring materials

Detailed information

• 

  Impact on buildings and equipment In a food factory's warehouse, condensation occurred on the ceiling during winter, causing water droplets to fall. The cardboard boxes being stored became wet, leading to labels peeling off and mold growth, resulting in the disposal of a large quantity of products. The cause was insufficient insulation and poor ventilation.

• 

  Impact on products and production activities Due to insufficient humidity control in the electronic components factory, condensation occurred on the circuit boards, causing malfunctions in the fine circuits. As a result, the defect rate increased to three times the usual level, leading to the need for extensive rework on a large number of products. Ultimately, the issue was resolved by implementing a humidity control system.

• 

  Human damage and health risks In a certain office building, poor air conditioning management led to condensation on the walls and ceiling. As a result, mold proliferated, causing a high incidence of allergy symptoms (sneezing, itchy eyes, asthma) among employees. Due to delayed response, employee satisfaction decreased, and there were also resignations.

  To prevent the above-mentioned issues from occurring: - Suppressing the generation of moisture - Absorbing and treating condensation - Maintaining an appropriate humidity level As a result of these efforts, measures against the aforementioned accidents and impacts can be achieved.
