Stop Condensation Inside Shipping Containers — Without Power
If you open your shipping container and find dripping water, rust, or damp tools, the problem is usually not a leak — it is condensation.
Shipping containers trap warm, moisture-laden air inside a sealed steel box. When temperatures change, that moisture condenses on cooler metal surfaces, leading to corrosion, mold, and damaged contents.
Why Traditional Container Vents Keep Failing
Most containers rely on tiny passive vents or spinning rooftop turbines — technology that dates back over 100 years. These systems depend on moving parts and steady wind just to function.
- Require 2–3 mph wind before doing anything
- Bearings wear out and performance degrades
- Roof installations on corrugated steel often leak
- Slow to respond to gusts and turbulence
A Modern-Era Upgrade: DRY-CON X®
DRY-CON X® is a patented, non-powered ventilation system engineered using modern fluid-dynamics principles. Instead of spinning parts, it uses aerodynamic geometry to actively draw humid air out of the container.
- No electricity required
- No moving parts
- Continuous 24/7 ventilation
- Designed specifically for shipping containers
This is a 2020s-era solution to century-old turbine technology.
▶ How DRY-CON X® Works (Venturi Effect — Simple Explanation)
When air flows past a specially shaped opening, it accelerates and creates a low-pressure zone. That low pressure naturally pulls air from inside the container — no fan, no motor, no electricity.
DRY-CON X® is engineered to use this effect. Its aerodynamic shape creates continuous suction that removes humid air while fresh air enters through intake vents — even in very light wind.
▶ Turbine Vents vs DRY-CON X® (Tap to Compare)
| Feature | Old Turbine | DRY-CON X® |
|---|---|---|
| Technology Era | 1920s | Modern fluid dynamics |
| Moving Parts | Yes | No |
| Minimum Wind | 2–3 mph | < ½ mph |
| No-Wind Operation | No | Yes |
| Installation | Roof-mounted | Wall-mounted |
| Leak Risk | High | Very low |
| Maintenance | Required | None |
Choose the Correct DRY-CON X® Kit
Kits are sized by container length. A 40-foot container holds roughly twice the air volume of a 20-foot container and requires more airflow capacity.
▶ Kit #1 — 20-Foot Container (Most Common)
Includes: 1 Exhaust, 1 Back-Wall Intake
The standard starting point for most 20-ft containers. Creates proper intake-to-exhaust airflow for typical condensation.
▶ Kit #2 — 40-Foot Container (Baseline Choice)
Includes: 2 Exhausts, 2 Back-Wall Intakes
Designed for the larger air volume of 40-ft containers. Provides balanced airflow across the full container length.
▶ Kit #3 — 20-Foot Container (Side-Wall Intake)
Includes: 1 Exhaust, 1 Side-Wall Intake, 1 Adapter
Chosen when rear-wall intake placement is blocked or not ideal. Side-wall intake improves airflow in tight layouts.
▶ Kit #4 — 40-Foot Container (Maximum Airflow)
Includes: 2 Exhausts, 2 Side-Wall Intakes, 2 Adapters
Highest-capacity kit for severe condensation or placement constraints. Designed for long-term protection of valuable contents.
▶ Why Intake Location & Adapter Plates Matter
Back-wall intakes work when the rear wall is open and unobstructed. Side-wall intakes are preferred when containers are close to buildings, fencing, or other containers.
Adapter plates provide a flat, weather-tight mounting surface when the ideal exhaust location does not match the wall profile.
