Protect aircraft during storage and maintenance

Prevent corrosion, reduce downtime, and safeguard operational readiness

Aircraft are high-value, mission-critical assets packed with complex systems that are vulnerable to humidity-related damage. Without proper moisture control during storage and maintenance, condensation can cause corrosion, leading to costly repairs, reduced operational readiness, and increased downtime. Cotes dehumidifiers offer a reliable solution to control humidity, protect sensitive equipment, and maintain the efficiency and profitability of both military and commercial aircraft.

The Hidden Risks of Humidity in Aircraft Storage and Maintenance

Aircraft regularly face diverse weather conditions, temperature fluctuations, and varying air qualities—whether in flight, taxiing, or parked in hangars. These constant changes create ideal conditions for condensation, especially in enclosed spaces with varying material temperatures and hard-to-reach cavities.

Unchecked humidity can lead to:

• Condensation & Corrosion: Moisture infiltrates sensitive systems, leading to corrosion in critical components.
• Reduced Operational Readiness: Military aircraft face lower mission availability, directly impacting force effectiveness.
• Decreased Profitability: For commercial aviation, grounded aircraft mean lost revenue and higher maintenance costs.
• Increased Downtime: More time in maintenance means less time in the air, slowing turnaround and decreasing efficiency.
• Higher Long-Term Costs: Corrosion, electrical failures, and system degradation drive up repair and replacement costs.

Why Conventional Solutions Fall Short

Fans, heaters, and ventilation systems may circulate air but fail to address the core issue—uncontrolled humidity. Simply moving moist air around or replacing it with more humid air doesn’t prevent condensation or stop corrosion.

Aircraft structures, made from mixed materials with varying temperatures, create complex conditions where moisture condenses, often in hidden spaces. Without direct humidity control, the risks of long-term damage remain.

How Cotes Dehumidifiers Eliminate the Problem

Cotes dehumidifiers target the root cause—moisture in the air—by controlling the dew point inside hangars and maintenance facilities. Maintaining relative humidity below 65% at 20°C ensures that condensation cannot form, protecting aircraft from corrosion and other humidity-related damage.

Whether in permanent hangars, temporary shelters, or field operations, Cotes dehumidifiers provide consistent protection, even in extreme or unpredictable environments.

Key Benefits of Cotes Dehumidifiers:

• Enhanced Operational Readiness: Keep military aircraft mission-ready and commercial planes profitable by reducing downtime.
• Corrosion Prevention: Protect critical systems, electronics, and structural components from moisture-related damage.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: Reduce the frequency and cost of repairs by preventing damage before it starts.
• Energy-Efficient Solutions: Cotes' heat recovery modules minimize energy use while maximizing protection.
• Flexible & Durable: Compact, robust units that are easy to deploy and relocate as needed.

Why Cotes Stands Out

Cotes dehumidifiers are designed for the unique challenges of aircraft maintenance and storage:

• ✅ Compact & Portable: Easily integrated into hangars or temporary structures.
• ✅ Built for Toughness: Long-lasting, durable systems that handle demanding conditions.
• ✅ Energy-Efficient: Reduce costs without compromising protection.
• ✅ Simple Operation & Maintenance: User-friendly systems that minimize downtime.

Maximize Aircraft Uptime and Minimize Maintenance Costs

Aircraft can’t afford downtime—whether for military missions or commercial flights. Cotes dehumidifiers ensure that your fleet stays protected, reducing costs, increasing availability, and extending the service life of mission-critical equipment.
