- namibj 5y agooil-in-cabin-air issues are solved by not using bleed air for cabin pressurization.
- compressedgas 5y agoI think that has problems which prohibit it from being implemented. I think a better option to just pass the air through a filter to remove oil particles before the air is used in the cabin.
- namibj 5y agoIIRC it's not particles, but combustion/decomposition products. And no, it's not an issue with using non-engine air for cabin pressurization taking too much weight/power: even a large airplane needs only little actual airflow.
