CTT Systems to develop new crew rest compartment
NYKÖPING, Sweden, September 24, 2015
CTT Systems, a leader of humidity control products in aircraft, is set to develop a humidifier for a new crew rest compartment on the A380 aircraft, to be introduced to customers next year.
The humidifier will be offered in the A380 catalogue as a Supplier-Furnished-Equipment (SFE), said a statement.
CTT Systems already provides crew rest humidifiers for the A380 programme (as tier-2). CTT humidifiers have been in-service in the A380 aircraft since 2007, it said.
Torbjörn Johansson, chief executive officer, said: “CTT is honored for continued support and trust in our humidifiers from Airbus and its A380 customers."
CTT’s crew humidifier will improve comfort, health and rest by maintaining a relative humidity of approximately 20 per cent, compared to three to five per cent without our humidifier, said the statement.
A higher humidity will reduce dry air related problems, for example, fatigue, jet-lag, red eyes, dry skin, spread of virus diseases, it said.
The humidifier will be based on evaporative cooling technology and uses a method that effectively precludes the transfer of bacteria, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
