As shown in Figure 1, it shows the schematic diagram of drying system of the present invention, and wherein, described drying system 10 is comprised of cooling assembly 1, heat exchanger 2, distribution circuit 3 and Control Component 4.Described cooling assembly 1 has the air upstream end 11 of for the first time dehumidifying and the Bas Discharged end 12 of dehumidifying for the first time, thereby it is used for the fresh air that the air upstream end 11 from the described dehumidifying first time enters carried out dehumidifying first time reducing its absolute humidity.Described heat exchanger 2 has the air upstream end 23 of waste gas upstream end 21, waste gas outlet side 22, for the second time dehumidifying and the Bas Discharged end 24 that dehumidifies for the second time.Wherein, described waste gas upstream end 21 is connected with electronics bay 5, described waste gas outlet side 22 communicates with the aircraft external world, the air upstream end 23 of the described dehumidifying second time communicates with the Bas Discharged end 12 of the dehumidifying first time of cooling assembly 1, and the Bas Discharged end 24 of the described dehumidifying second time is communicated with distribution circuit 3.Described distribution circuit 3 has an end 31 of the dry air of Bas Discharged end 24 discharges that receive the described dehumidifying second time, and described dry air is transported to the other end 32 in the fuselage interlayer, the described other end 32 arranges near the fuselage interlayer of aircraft, and described distribution circuit 3 is used for dry gas is assigned to the preposition place and forms air-flow in the airframe interlayer.Described Control Component 4, be used for according to different operating conditions cooling assemblies 1 and heat exchanger 2, more preferably, control at least one of them person of the efficient of the flow of described dry air and described heat exchanger 2, more preferably, can control simultaneously the efficient of flow and the heat exchanger 2 of dry air.More specifically, described Control Component 4 is single-chip microcomputer (SCM) or any controllers that can realize data operation and disposal ability such as CPU (CPU) or programmable logic controller (PLC) (PLC), it can control the flow of dry air to satisfy need of work via flow control valve, the exhaust gas flow that can control also that waste gas upstream end 21 via heat exchanger 2 enters and be discharged by waste gas outlet side 22 is controlling the efficient of described heat exchanger 2, thereby the power that also can control in addition described cooling assembly 1 and described heat exchanger 2 reaches the parameters such as temperature and humidity of regulating the final dry air that flows out.Preferably, position between the air upstream end 23 of the Bas Discharged end 12 of the position of the air upstream end 11 of dehumidifying first time of described cooling assembly 1, the position on the described distribution circuit 3, the described first time of dehumidifying and the described second time of dehumidifying (namely, position between cooling assembly 1 and the heat exchanger 2), in the position of described waste gas upstream end 21 (being the position between heat exchanger 2 and the described electronics bay 5), a flow control valve can be set respectively also can only in some or certain several position flow control valve be set.Described flow control valve also can be manually operated, is preferably automatically controlled by above-mentioned Control Component 4.
As everyone knows, cooling assembly 1 in the aircraft is interior all to have de-watering apparatus, therefore, when entering cooling assembly 1 by the absolute humidity that can be reduced widely fresh air by the de-watering apparatus of described cooling assembly 1 from the fresh air of engine from the air upstream end 11 of for the first time dehumidifying.What like this, the Bas Discharged end 12 of the dehumidifying first time of cooling assembly 1 was discharged is exactly the lower fresh air of humidity.In the present invention, described heat exchanger 2 is used for and will will discharge and enter the relatively cold fresh air of heat exchanger 2 and carry out exchange heat from the waste gas of the relatively hot of heat exchanger 2 that electronics bay 5 is discharged and entered from waste gas upstream end 21 from the air upstream end 23 that dehumidifies for the second time from the Bas Discharged end 12 of the dehumidifying first time of cooling assembly 1.From the cold fresh air of cooling assembly 1 behind over-heat-exchanger 2, because temperature raises after the heat exchange, thereby the relative water capacity of fresh air will decrease, what therefore, discharge from the Bas Discharged end 24 of dehumidifying second time of heat exchanger 2 is exactly all lower dry airs of absolute humidity and relative humidity.Described dry air is transported to those by distribution circuit 3 needs dry aircraft passenger compartment zone such as zones such as top, main cabin, main cabin sidewall spacers.Simultaneously, discharge aircraft through the waste gas after the heat exchange via waste gas outlet side 22.
More preferably, can control by the extraction flow from electronics bay 5 oncontrol heat exchanger 2 hot limits the efficient ofheat exchanger 2, obtain the temperature dry air different with relative humidity.Simultaneously also can be according to temperature, damp condition in external condition and the cabin different, the flow of control dry air.
More preferably, in order to alleviate the weight of aircraft, distribution circuit 3 can be comprised of the pipeline of lighter weight, and is arranged in from front to back the top area of aircraft, and the central authorities of the as far as possible close aircraft in its position are with the uniformity of guaranteeing that control air distributes.
Below, describe how forming shielding gas flow in conjunction with Fig. 2.
Fuselage outer side structure and inside sidewalls structure have formed fuselage sandwich, as shown in Figure 2, it shows a kind of fuselage sandwich that is made ofairframe structure 6,trim panel 7, adiabatic sound insulating layer 8 substantially, wherein, is formed withgap 9 betweentrim panel 7 and the adiabatic sound insulating layer 8.
In the prior art, the passenger and crew is in the main cabin behind the exhalation humid air, this humid air can enter by the slit top area and the sidewall areas in main cabin, and from the top orlateral region 9 flow to the gap, the adiabatic sound insulating layer 8 that humid air and temperature are lower contacts withairframe structure 6 and forms condensed water.
In the present invention, after all comparatively suitable dry air is delivered to top, main cabin or lateral region equably with temperature and humidity by distribution circuit 3, because air bleeding valve is located at the bilge section of aircraft usually, like this, the pressure of aircraft cabin bottom can be a little less than the top area in main cabin, therefore, the gap 9 of dry air between trim panel 7 and adiabatic sound insulating layer 8 flows into the trigonum, participate in the recirculation except a part of dry air enters recirculation regions, all the other dry airs are finally discharged out of my cabin by the air bleeding valve of bilge section.The dry air that temperature is higher, humidity is lower in the gap of fuselage interlayer, formed one deck play " heat-insulation layer " effect shielding gas flow fuselage outer side structure and the higher inside sidewalls structure of temperature that temperature is lower keep apart; thereby; avoided humid air directly directly to contact with fuselage outer side structure (such as covering, long purlin etc.); therefore, effectively prevent the drop in temperature of humid air and produce condensed water.As previously mentioned, the top, main cabin that distribution circuit 3 is arranged in aircraft only is more excellent scheme, and in fact, distribution circuit 3 also can be arranged in the both sides, main cabin of aircraft, and more preferably, distribution circuit 3 can also be arranged in both sides, main cabin and the main cabin top area of aircraft simultaneously.
Principle of the present invention is as follows: utilize the higher characteristics heating of electronics bay delivery temperature from the fresh air of cooling assembly, reduction is from the relative humidity of the fresh air of cooling assembly, make this part fresh air drier and obtain dry air, again this part dry air is passed in the gap of the lower fuselage interlayer of temperature, prevent the generation of condensed water.At this, need to prove, in the prior art, itself just has the cooling assembly of aircraft except water function, and the present invention has utilized this function of cooling assembly just, does not need special dehydrating unit.Simultaneously, utilized used heat in the electronics bay exhaust to heat fresh air from cooling assembly.Like this, not only obtain dry air, also improved capacity usage ratio.The dry air that temperature is higher enters in the aircraft interlayer, can improve the heat-insulating property of aircraft interlayer, reduces the thermal force of aircraft air-conditioning system.
The present invention can be achieved as follows technique effect: keep the aircraft cabin inner drying, alleviate aircraft weight, prolong heat-insulating material life-span, reduce airplane fault and reduce aircraft maintenance work.Simultaneously, also effectively utilized the high-temp waste gas that cooling electronic apparatus produces.
