OT Africa Line Services > Our Services > Equipment > Vents Basics Ventilated containers are used not only to carry cargoes susceptible to the effects of condensation but with identical payloads, internal capacities and door configurations as standard dry freight containers, vents have been specifically designed to allow their use for general cargoes when not required for goods needing ventilation. Therfore these act as dual purpose containers capable of taking mositure-sensitive cargoes in one direction and general cargoes in the other. Vent Specs 20' Ventilated Container - 20' x 8' x 8' 6''
Due to different constructions and makes, the maximum payloads and internal dimensions of equipment may vary. All measurements are accurate to +/- 1" - for cargoes with critical dimensions, please contact OT Africa Line sales staff for further information. Benefits - Two way flexibility:
These self draining ventilators designed to deflect rain or spray and prevent water ingres have inner ventilators which are placed approximately seven inches higher than the outside vents. To ensure water integrity, each unit undergoes a full pressure ISO water test after manufacture and thus can be carried above or below deck without effecting cargo quality. Ventilators are fitted in corrugations at the top and bottom along the length of each container. The upper chambers are fitted at the extreme top so that warm, moist air that rises naturally to the top of the container can exit without resistance. In the vent chambers a venturi pressure drop draws this air out of the container which causes cool, dry air to be drawn through the lower ventilators, creating natural air circulation. Cross-flow is equally as important, and is created by hold ventilation or natural breeze entering ventilators on one side and departing via the chambers on the other, taking with it warm, moist air. Highly recommended by insurance underwriters, adequate ventilation is regarded as the only foolproof way of removing condensation from the inside of a container, ensuring cargo is delivered in perfect condition. Ventilated containers are used not only to carry cargoes susceptible to the effects of condensation. With identical payloads, internal capacities and door configurations as standard dry freight containers vents have been specifically designed to allow their use for general cargoes when not required for goods needing ventilation. Therefore they act as dual purpose containers capable of taking moisture-sensitive cargoes in one direction and general cargoes in the other. |
