Dehumidification Improves the Performance of Aircraft Engines and Electronic Systems

Abstract

DEHUMIDIFYING systems manufactured by AB Carl Munters, Sweden, which exploit the fact that corrosion does not occur where relative humidity (RH) is below 50% (Fig. 1), are now being used by the Danish and Swedish air forces, who have found that they improve the operational performance of in‐service aircraft to the extent that 18 aircraft can now do the work of 19. (Similar systems have been supplied by Munters since the 1950s for the protection of stored military equipment and supplies.)
