Abstract
A humidity control system for cargo containers. The humidity is controlled by one or more panels having a supply of desiccant or moisture absorbing material which can be initially installed in the dry state to reduce humidity. The panels can be installed on the ceiling, floor and/or walls of the container. For particular types of cargo which require higher humidity, the panel can be saturated with water prior to transporting the cargo. The saturated panel will release water vapor gradually to maintain a higher humidity. The panel can be a single panel or be made from several smaller panels. The panel can be used with or without a liner. When used with a liner, it can be installed as an integral part of the liner, or as a separate unit which can optionally hold the liner in place for loading and unloading.
