In the aerospace context, ventilation refers to the process of providing fresh air to the interior of an aircraft, spacecraft, or other aerospace vehicle.
It is an important aspect of maintaining the health and safety of the occupants, as well as the proper functioning of the systems on board.
Examples of ventilation in the aerospace context include:
-
Aircraft ventilation: In an aircraft, ventilation is achieved through a combination of cabin pressurization and air conditioning systems. The pressurization system maintains a comfortable cabin altitude, while the air conditioning system cools and filters the air to provide fresh air to the occupants.
-
Spacecraft ventilation: In a spacecraft, ventilation is achieved through a combination of life Support systems, which provide air and water to the occupants, and environmental control systems, which regulate the temperature and humidity inside the spacecraft.
-
Space suit ventilation: Space suits worn by astronauts during spacewalks or planetary surface activities are also equipped with ventilation systems to provide fresh air, remove carbon dioxide and regulate the temperature for the astronaut.
-
Pressurized cabins: Pressurized cabins are also used in high altitude aircrafts and helicopters to provide a comfortable environment for the occupants and to prevent Hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and other health problems.
