Developmental Assist Program for the Evaluation of Dry Air Dehumidification.
Abstract
Dry Air Dehumidification is presently being used by European North Atlantic Treaty Organization military forces on operational aircraft to reduce the relative humidity (RH) within the aircraft. The claimed result is the elimination of corrosion of airframes, avionics systems, and propulsion systems with accompanying improvements in systems reliability and availability, as well as lowered support costs. In an effort to improve readiness and reduce maintenance costs, NAVAIRSYSCOM has instituted a two phased program to evaluate this technology for use on operational Navy aircraft. Phase I consisted of identifying flow rates of dry air required to reach a stable RH.
