Dehumidification Mode

 
 

The purpose of dehumidification is to reduce or lower the relative humidity in the container during transportation.

Low relative humidity ensures dry packaging, prevents rotting and reduces incident of fungal development and is essential for cargo such as cigarette, electronic components, photographic films, onions, ginger and garlic etc.

Almost all APL reefer equipment are equipped with dehumidification systems, where relative humidity can be set between 65% and 95% and can be controlled according to cargo requirements.

Bulb mode

Bulb mode is an extension of dehumidification mode and upon activation, the user has the option to select the evaporator fan speed (low, high or alternate) and defrost termination sensor setting.

In addition, the relative humidity setting is available from 60% to 95% (instead of the normal 65% to 95%).

Bulb mode is utilized mainly for transportation of flower bulbs, and APL provides containers that are certified by ATO (Agrotechnological Research Institute).
