Annex 3 Prevention of Condensation Damage

Prevention of Condensation • Condensation • Corrosion threshold • Dew point of air • Hygroscopicity of cargo • Mold growth threshold • Relative humidity of air • Saturation humidity of air • Sorption equilibrium • Sorption isotherm • Water content of cargo

The consequences of condensation

Corrosion threshold (at a relative humidity of 40%)

Mold growth threshold (at a relative humidity of 75%)

Dew point (at a relative humidity of 100%)

Three humidity thresholds

Corrosion of print cylinders

Mold in Coffee

Mold in Cocoa

Dew point
