  • in flight monitoring of particle deposition in the environmental control systems of commercial airliners in china
    Atmospheric Environment, 2017
    Co-Authors: Qing Cao, Daniel Wei, Chao-hsin Lin, Qingyan Chen, Wei Liu, Steven L Baughcum, Sharon L Norris
    Abstract:

    Abstract Severe air pollution and low on-time performance of commercial flights in China could increase particle deposition in the environmental control systems (ECSs) of commercial airliners. The particles deposited in the ECSs could negatively affect the performance of the Airplanes. In addition, particles that penetrate into the aircraft cabin could adversely impact the health of passengers and crew members. This investigation conducted simultaneous measurements of particle mass concentration and size distribution inside and outside the cabin during 64 commercial flights of Boeing 737 and Airbus 320 aircraft departing from or arriving at Tianjin Airport in China. The results showed that the PM2.5 mass concentration deposition in the ECSs of these Airplanes ranged from 50% to 90%, which was much higher than that measured in an airplane with a ground air-conditioning unit. The average deposition rates of particles with diameters of 0.5–1 μm, 1–2 μm, 2–5 μm, 5–10 μm, and >10 μm were 89 ± 8%, 85 ± 13%, 80 ± 13%, 73 ± 15%, and 80 ± 14%, respectively. The in-flight measurement results indicated that the particle concentration in the breathing zone was higher than that in the air-supply zone, which implies a significant contribution by particles in the interior of the cabin. Such particles come from human emissions or particle resuspension from interior surfaces.

  • experimental study of particle deposition in the environmental control systems of commercial airliners
    Building and Environment, 2016

    Abstract:

    Abstract Serious air pollution and low on-time performance of commercial flights in China could result in more particles being deposited in the environmental control systems (ECS) of the commercial airliners and ground air-conditioning carts (GAC). The particle deposited in the ECS and GAC could cause performance issues of the Airplanes and GAC. In addition, particles penetrated to the aircraft cabin could cause adverse health impact on the passengers and crew. This investigation measured the PM 2.5 particle concentrations and the quantities of particles of different sizes at the inlet and outlet of the GAC and ECS in an MD-82 airplane parked next to Tianjin Airport under different air quality levels. The results showed that the deposition rate of the PM 2.5 mass in the GAC and ECS was 40–50%, with most (30–40%) of the deposition occurring in the ECS. For particles with a diameter of 5 μm or larger, the deposition rate was greater than 90%. For particles with a diameter of 0.5 μm or less, the deposition rate was less than 25% so they entered into the aircraft cabin. In addition, particle mass and number concentration was measured on commercial flights. The results indicated that particle concentrations were high compared with that during the cruising when the Airplanes were on the ground at the Chinese airports where ambient particle concentrations were also high.
