Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas turbine engine oil and other fluids can contaminate the bleed air of an aircraft and, consequently, infiltrate cabin air. This thesis examines potential markers of bleed air contamination that can be used to detect the presence of these fluids in bleed air. Additionally, common instrumentation devices and techniques that are used to measure and identify background levels, contamination rates, particles, and chemicals in bleed air and cabin air quality on an aircraft are briefly discussed. Next, the thesis discusses the current ASHRAE 1830-RP project, which focuses on engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and deicing fluid contamination of bleed air and the resulting particulates that result as markers of this contamination. Furthermore, two major studies known as VIPR and Cranfield are addressed in this thesis and specifically deal with bleed air and cabin air on aircraft for comparison purposes. The VIPR project provides detailed information on substances, chemicals, and particulates found in bleed air from engine oil, but it is somewhat limited in scope. While a sizeable number of substances in the bleed air were evaluated the results apply to a limited range of operating conditions and a single contaminant (Mobil Jet Oil II). The Cranfield project was identified as a relevant study. It was somewhat narrow in measurement scope, but it was extensive in that it conducted measurements on 100 flights. Thus, it adds useful information and is included in this thesis. Both VIPR and Cranfield have relatively useful particulate data, and therefore will be compared to the ASHRAE 1830-RP project data. Based on the results from VIPR and ASHRAE 1830-RP, it can be inferred that there indeed can be uses of particulates as a marker for bleed air contamination, where markers are able to be measured and reliably associated with the contaminant. The results indicate that ultrafine particles (

Download or read book The Airliner Cabin Environment and the Health of Passengers and Crew written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-02-03 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although poor air quality is probably not the hazard that is foremost in peoples' minds as they board planes, it has been a concern for years. Passengers have complained about dry eyes, sore throat, dizziness, headaches, and other symptoms. Flight attendants have repeatedly raised questions about the safety of the air that they breathe. The Airliner Cabin Environment and the Health of Passengers and Crew examines in detail the aircraft environmental control systems, the sources of chemical and biological contaminants in aircraft cabins, and the toxicity and health effects associated with these contaminants. The book provides some recommendations for potential approaches for improving cabin air quality and a surveillance and research program.
Download or read book Air Quality in Airplane Cabins and Similar Enclosed Spaces written by Martin B. Hocking and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-09-16 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of aircraft air quality is attracting considerable attention of late, as access to public air travel has expanded exponentially. Aircrew and passengers are increasingly concerned about operating and service decisions that could affect their health, comfort, and safety. The editor of this volume invited a wide range of experts to provide an in-depth treatment of virtually all aspects of aircraft cabin air quality. The topics are covered at a level comprehensible to all who fly as well as being of sufficient depth to be informative to decision makers concerned with purchase, design, operation, and servicing of passenger aircraft. Topics are grouped under: Control of Aircraft Cabin Air Quality; Possible Effects of Low Humidity, Decreased Outside Air Flows; and Effects of Some Aircraft Malfunctions on Cabin Air Quality. The volume concludes with Air Quality Systems for Related Enclosed Spaces, in which chapters cover air quality in buildings, ships, submarines, and spacecraft, which provide novel approaches potentially applicable to aircraft.
