More Information
Summary:The embodiments relate to reducing condensate precipitate on inner surfaces of an outer skin of an aircraft and adjacent components. The condensate precipitate is reduced by supplying dry air to an upper region of an air gap which extends between the upper region and a lower region and is disposed between the outer skin of an aircraft and an insulation arranged between a cabin wall and the outer skin of an aircraft. The dry air may be obtained with low effort and at low cost by sucking it off from the lower region of the air gap and conducted in one or more lines to the upper region of the air gap, where it is allowed to re-enter the air gap. The lines are connected to fans which create a pressure difference in the lines, which moves the dry air from the inlet opening or openings to the outlet openings.
