  • Patent number: 11091270
    Abstract: Ventilation systems and methods for controlling moisture in a vehicle. The ventilation systems include one or more inlet ducts and outlet ducts that extend through an inner wall and into a gap formed at an outer wall. The ventilation systems provide for passive air flow with air moving into the one or more inlet ducts and into the gap. The air is cooled against the outer wall and vertically drops along the gap. Moisture in the air freezes against the outer wall while the air is in the gap. The less humid air then moves through the one or more outlet ducts and back into the interior space.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 17, 2021

  • Patent number: 10556663
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for insulation and moisture drainage. One exemplary embodiment is an apparatus comprising a bay blanket configured to insulate an aircraft. The bay blanket includes insulation, and a first waterproof lip that protrudes from the insulation in an outboard direction towards a frame of the aircraft and extends along a length of a leftward side of the bay blanket. The bay blanket also includes a second waterproof lip that protrudes from the insulation in an outboard direction towards the frame of the aircraft along a length of a rightward side of the bay blanket.

  • Patent number: 10023285
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for insulation and moisture drainage. One exemplary system comprises a liner. The liner covers a frame element of an aircraft. The liner includes a first waterproof lip that is attached to a first insulator and protrudes towards the frame element. The first waterproof lip and the first insulator form a first drainage channel for the frame element. A second waterproof lip is attached to a second insulator and protrudes towards the frame element. The second waterproof lip and the second insulator form a second drainage channel for the frame element. The first waterproof lip and the second waterproof lip each include a lengthwise fixation element that attaches the first waterproof lip to the second waterproof lip, sealing at least a portion of the lengthwise gap.
