Condensation Control Applications The presence of condensation formation in steel and metal storage warehouses has been, and still is, a very acute and expensive problem. Condensation or water formation occurs whenever the temperature of the stored material is below the dew point temperature of the ambient or surrounding air. This condition usually occurs whenever the outside temperature and the dew point temperature rise suddenly after an extended cold period. Since the stored material cannot be heated quickly enough to keep pace with the rising dew point temperature, condensation or water formation then occurs and the material is either rusted, spotted or damaged in some other way. The damage to stored steel or other metals does not restrict itself only to unprotected surfaces alone. It
