MOISTURE CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING MOISTURE IN AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

A moisture control system (242) includes an anode (244) coupled to an insulation blanket (214) that is positioned between an inner wall (208) and an outer wall (216) of an aircraft fuselage (130), a cathode (246) coupled to an interior surface (248) of the outer wall (216), and a power control unit (252) coupled to the anode (244) and the cathode (246) to apply voltage across the anode (244) and the cathode (246). When the voltage is applied across the anode (244) and the cathode (246), moisture is drawn away from the anode (244) and toward the cathode (246) on the interior surface (248) of the outer wall (216) and guided along a drainage path (254) provided via structural members (222) disposed between the inner wall (208) and the outer wall (216) toward a drainage port (256).
