CTT Systems receives orders from airlines to equip Airbus A321 aircraft with the Zonal Drying moisture control system

CTT Systems AB, a market leader in aircraft humidity control systems, has received Zonal Drying™ airline orders for a total of 15 Airbus A321 aircraft to be retrofitted from December 2017 to June 2018. The Zonal Drying™ system removes trapped water in blankets, keeps the crown area dry and prevents unwanted excess weight from water accumulation – phenomena which can affect all passenger-carrying aircraft. Hereby, on every flight airlines can operate with lower energy needs and less pollutant emissions. Lowered excess aircraft weight of 200 kg, reduces block fuel consumption by around 0.4%, resulting in fuel savings of approx. 25,000 liters per year per aircraft, cutting carbon dioxide emissions by more than 65 tons. Additional costs savings comes from lower repair costs of moisture related damages in electrical components and equipment, repair/replace of blankets and reduced down-time due to electrical failures.
