[0026] A dew point display screen 16, a pressure gauge 17, a first thermometer 18, a second thermometer 19 and a flow rate meter 20 are provided on the panel of the box body 1.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] During operation, connect the air intake duct to the aircraft's cooling system. First, open the first valve and close the second valve, allowing the onboard cooling air to flow through the intake duct into the dew point detector. After testing, the dew point detector displays the measured dew point value on the dew point display. If the displayed dew point value exceeds the specified dew point value, such as -40°C, dehumidification of the onboard cooling air is required.

[0029] During dehumidification, close the first valve and open the second valve. High-pressure airflow will flow through the pressure and temperature sensors, respectively. The pressure and temperature values ​​measured by these sensors are displayed on the pressure gauge and the first thermometer. As the high-pressure airflow passes through the restrictor, the air pressure inside the restrictor is accelerated, and its temperature drops. The second thermometer displays the temperature inside the restrictor in real time. When the ambient temperature is high, accelerating the airflow alone to cool the air makes it difficult to reach the dew point. In this case, the chiller can be activated to cool the restrictor, thereby rapidly reducing the core temperature of the restrictor and effectively detecting moisture freezing in the airflow.

[0030] As the air temperature inside the restrictor continues to drop to the dew point, moisture in the air gradually precipitates and condenses on the inner wall of the restrictor orifice, causing the orifice diameter to decrease until it completely closes. At this point, the pressure gauge readings gradually increase, while the flow rate gauge readings gradually decrease, indicating that ice has formed inside the restrictor. A second thermometer can be used to measure the freezing temperature inside the restrictor.

[0031] At this point, the heater is activated to melt the ice crystals inside the restrictor, reopening the restrictor. As the onboard cool air flows through the flow velocity sensor, the flow velocity meter displays the measured flow velocity. The air is ultimately discharged from the exhaust port, carrying away any excess moisture.

[0032] After the onboard cold air has been completely discharged, refill the cooling system with high-pressure cold air and continue the dehumidification process until the temperature inside the restrictor, as measured by the second thermometer, falls below the specified cold air dew point and no ice forms on the onboard cold air. At this point, close the second valve, open the first valve, and recheck the onboard cold air dew point using the dew point detection device, keeping a record.

[0033] This aircraft air conditioning quality detection and dehumidification device can not only detect the dew point of the onboard high-pressure air conditioning, but also discharge moisture in the air conditioning system, so that the dew point of the onboard air conditioning is below the specified value. It is easy to operate and has accurate measurement, which significantly improves work quality and efficiency.

[0034] The air intake duct 4 is provided with an air filter 15 for filtering and purifying the onboard cold air.

[0035] A fault signal light 21 and a normal signal light 22 are provided on the panel of the box 1 to facilitate judging whether the device is working normally.

[0036] The box body 1 is connected to a charging interface 23 , which is connected to the power storage and power supply device 14 to facilitate charging the power storage and power supply device.

[0037] The exhaust port 10 is connected to the box body 1 and is trumpet-shaped. The trumpet-shaped expansion has a sound-absorbing effect and can reduce the generated noise.

[0038] The inlet of the air intake pipe 4 is provided with a connecting hose and connectors of various types so as to be suitable for different models.
