TEST REPORT ON THE APPLICATION OF THE LINDE FOG REMOVAL EQUIPMENT AT THE ERDING AIR BASE

ERPROBUNGSBERICHT UEBER DEN EINSATZ DER LINDE-ENTNEBELUNGSAPPARATUR AUF DEM FLIEGERHORST ERDING

With the Linde apparatus atmospheric air is dried and heated. It was found that wind has the strongest influnece because it carries away the purified air masses. With a head wind or cross wind of 2 knots the apparatus is effective only for short stretches, necessitating the need for fog removal equipment at both sides of the runway. Under calm conditions a 50 m large runway can be kept free of fog over 200 to 250 meters.
