Frost Damage in Refrigerated Containers: Causes and Prevention

High temperatures during refrigerated transport can have a counterintuitive effect: frost damage. While it seems illogical, even slight temperature fluctuations can cause partial thawing of frozen cargo. This thawing leads to an increase in humidity within the container. The elevated moisture in the air can subsequently condense on unaffected cargoes, resulting in the formation of frost. To prevent this, ensuring accurate temperature control and proper air circulation within the container is crucial.
