Humidity control for airports and air traffic control towers: FAQs

Why is dehumidification important in airports?

Dehumidifiers are an essential investment for practically any airport. They help prevent indoor conditions from becoming overbearingly humid, so visitors can wait in comfort and employees can stay focused.

These pieces of equipment also prevent condensation from forming on important radar and navigation systems. This corrosion prevention improves equipment lifespans and minimises the risk of flight delays and cancellations.

Plus, extreme amounts of moisture can degrade the condition of airport buildings over time, particularly if your airports are based in humid or tropical climates. Dry air technology shields your structures from wear and tear.

If you need help finding the ideal drying solutions for your airport, talk to our experts in transport and logistics climate control.

How does high humidity affect sensitive technology in airports?

When water vapour levels reach their peak, the metallic housing of your delicate airport systems can corrode, exposing the sensors and cables within to destructive moisture.

High humidity can also increase the maintenance costs involved, diminish the accuracy of these units’ readings, and even cause total outages; an outcome that can have devastating consequences for aviation safety, passenger satisfaction and your short-term flight schedule.

What types of dehumidifiers are used in airports?

To manage the presence of dampness inside your airport or air traffic control tower, there are two different types of dehumidifiers you can choose from:

  • Desiccant dehumidifiers, which work best in drier, cooler environments

  • Condensation dehumidifiers, which excel in higher temperatures and humidities

  • Industrial dryers, which are exceptionally powerful in larger spaces

Speak to our experts to discuss the precise requirements of your airport, so we can recommend the best equipment for your requirements.

What is the role of dehumidification in control towers?

The role of dehumidification in air traffic control towers is two-fold:

  1. By keeping conditions manageable, you can safeguard the health, focus and productivity of your flight controllers
  2. Through air drying, you also help protect the accuracy, reliability and condition of your essential technology

How does dehumidification reduce maintenance costs in airports?

Repairing the systems, fixtures, fittings and structures tarnished by high humidity levels is a costly endeavour. Implementing moisture control can help cut the maintenance bills associated with long-term airport operations.

Can dehumidification improve safety in airports?

Yes. When dehumidifiers are deployed, they address overbearing humidities inside, helping spaces feel cooler. As a result, this can safeguard your people from dehydration, heat exhaustion and nausea.

These systems can also halt the growth of mould and the spread of spores – allergens that can aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma.
