How to Prevent Condensation in Industry and Commerce
Condensation occurs when air passes over a comparatively cold surface, allowing water molecules to be drawn from the air and into liquid form. We’re all familiar with the more mundane appearances of condensation in day-to-day life: from shower curtains and windows to ice cold beverages. In industry, we have additional sources of water to consider, such as cleaning and sanitation practices, doorways, ventilation and even breathing.
In industry, these water droplets are more than a harmless quirk. Unwanted liquid water can cause a wide variety of complications, including:
- Mould and bacteria growth
- Electrical faults
- Damage to expensive equipment
- Corrosion and rust
- Product damage
- Degradation of seals, fixtures and fittings
- Warping
- Higher energy consumption
