Calculation Example - Dry Ice Preconditioning
An RKN container needs preconditioning with dry ice before loading cargo that has a 5°C
temperature requirement. The current ambient temperature is 25°C.
1) The container temperature is 25°C
2) The set temperature is 5°C
3) Container Temp - Set Temp = 20°C
4) Read up from 20°C to the line and across to the left
5) The amount of dry ice for preconditioning the container is 13 kg
