Dehumidification

Dehumidification Strategies

Corrosion of aircraft, parts and other equipment cannot occur in environments where the relative humidity is maintained below 40%. This is because low relative humidity precludes condensation on metallic surfaces. Our dehumidification strategies provide optimal storage conditions to ensure operational reliability for improved readiness, reduced maintenance, and increased safety, resulting in extraordinary ROI.

Cocoon partners with Munters Corporation, the world expert in humidity control systems, to develop, manufacture, install and service both standard and custom dry-air solutions for any application – container, vehicle, or entire building. The systems are easy to employ and maintain, and are both dependable and cost-effective.

 
Aircraft
In addition to other environmental factors affecting aircraft performance, humidity specifically impacts critical electronic components. Cocoon has developed a variety of dehumidification strategies that eliminate electronic failures, gremlins and ghosting in order to improve safety and readiness as well as to protect these high value assets from the devastating effects of corrosion.
Parts Storage
Whether it be conventional warehousing, a storage room, parts tower or unique parts containment need, Cocoon has the expertise to cost-effectively deliver a corrosion protection system that is practical, accessible and easy to maintain. Preserve assets, eliminate unnecessary replacement costs and reduce downtime for significant return on investment.
 
Ground Equipment
Inactive and stored equipment loses substantial value and frequently becomes inoperable due to improper long-term storage. Similarly, active equipment may deteriorate rapidly in hostile environments. Cocoon can provide cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions to protect these assets, thereby reducing repair costs and vastly improving readiness.
Mothballing
Mothballing large facilities such as utility plants, drill rigs, ocean going ships, industrial or manufacturing facilities is a complex process requiring unique experience to deliver optimum results. Cocoon is a world leader, with more than thirty years of experience developing specialized long-term corrosion protection storage solutions that keep critical assets in top condition for the duration of their lay-up.
