MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING FOULING CONDITIONS OF HEAT EXCHANGERS IN A PLURALITY OF AIRCAFT

摘要

An aircraft management system includes an onboard system and a ground system. The onboard system includes a compressor exit temperature sensor configured to determine an ECS compressor exit temperature; a data acquisition unit coupled to receive the compressor exit temperature, an altitude of the aircraft, and an ambient temperature and configured to generate a data report; and a communications system coupled to receive and transmit the data report. The ground system includes a ground data server coupled to receive the data report and determine a fouling condition of an environmental conditioning element of the ECS based on at least the compressor exit temperature, the altitude, and the ambient temperature; and a mobile application module coupled to receive the fouling condition from the ground data server and configured to provide an interface for displaying the fouling condition to a user on a mobile device.
