Preventing Condensation on IMP Conduits
Condensation is a concern in every food plant. A particularly challenging condition for condensation control is when conduits penetrate Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) in rooms operating below 40°F. The April edition of Hixson’s From Experience newsletter looks at this issue in more detail, and provides some ways to prevent condensation from occurring. Read it today!
