Zonal Dryer on A320 family
Overview
Introduction
The Zonal Drying system keeps the humidity in the crown area at a level where it will reduce the condensation on the fuselage skin inner surface and stop water accumulation in insulation blankets.

The Zonal DryingTM system includes the following equipment’s and components:
-
Zonal Dryer
