Uncontrolled humidity can significantly impact cold storage operations
The symptoms of excess humidity in cold storage are hard to miss. Condensation, ice buildup, fog, and reduced energy efficiency are the warning signs of uncontrolled humidity. Moisture can make its way into cold stores, refrigerated warehouses, and freezers through loading dock doors, gaps in walls, and even through the people working in the room.
Regardless of how moisture gets in, high humidity leads to slippery floors, damaged product, slower operations, and higher energy bills. Defrost cycles and heating strips in problem areas can help control condensation, but they are expensive, inefficient, and only partially effective. The most cost-effective moisture control solution for cold storage facilities is desiccant dehumidification.
With excess humidity in your cold store, you risk:
- Slower operations and lower worker efficiency
- High energy costs
- Worker safety
- Damaged product
