Humidity Control in the U.S. Air Force Aircraft Service Shelter
Abstract
A prototype Humidity Control System (HCS) were developed for use in the electrical and mechanical calibration shelters of the Air Force F-16 maintenance complex. The contractor tested, documented with Level 1 drawings and manufactured two complete working HCSs using commercial equipment modified as required. Contractor testing demonstrated the system's ability to maintain the shelter RH at 45% + or - 10% as specified. Major system components included a humidifier manufactured by the Dri Steam Humidifier Co., electronic humidity controllers manufactured by Johnson Controls Co. and the existing shelter ECU, which was modified to provide dehumidification. Originally the intent of the task was to install the two prototype HCS in two fielded shelters for further testing. The Air Force has decided during the course of this task that the HCS, as manufactured, would not be used for its intended purpose.
