The aerospace industry requires industrial dehumidifiers. Moreover, in the aerospace industry, industrial dehumidifiers play a crucial role. This article will explain in detail why.

 

1. Why does the aerospace industry need dehumidifiers

The aerospace manufacturing and assembly environment has extremely high requirements for air humidity, as high humidity can lead to the following problems:

Corrosion and oxidation of metals

Aircraft and spacecraft components are mostly made of high-precision materials such as aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, carbon fiber, etc. Excessive air humidity can accelerate oxidation and corrosion, affecting the lifespan and safety of components.

Electronic components become damp and fail

Aviation electronic equipment, navigation instruments, control systems, etc., contain a large number of circuit boards and sensors, which are prone to short circuits or accuracy drift when exposed to moisture.

The curing quality of composite materials is affected

Composite materials such as carbon fiber and resin are extremely sensitive to temperature and humidity during production and curing processes. Excessive humidity can cause bubbles, delamination, and a decrease in strength.

Spraying and coating processes require a constant humidity environment

Aircraft spray painting or anti-corrosion coating requires a strict humidity range (usually 40-60% RH) to ensure adhesion and surface quality.

Storage and testing environment control

Storage spaces for aviation components, rocket propellants, precision instruments, etc., all require a dry environment to avoid moisture absorption, deterioration, or performance degradation.

 

2. Main scenarios for the application of dehumidifiers

 

3. Typical cases of dehumidification

Boeing, Airbus, and other aircraft manufacturers: Install central dehumidification systems in the body assembly and painting workshops to ensure stable air humidity at 45 ± 5% RH.

NASA Composite Materials Laboratory: Using a low dew point rotary dehumidifier to control humidity below 20% RH for drying and storage of sensitive resin materials.

Satellite test module: requires extremely low humidity (10-20% RH) to prevent static electricity accumulation and moisture damage to components.

 

4. Summary

The aerospace industry is one of the industries with the strictest requirements for air humidity control.

The functions of industrial dehumidifiers include:

Prevent corrosion and short circuit

Improve assembly and painting accuracy

Ensure stable performance of materials and equipment
