Dehumidification, Sealing, Monitoring System Installed On MSC Ship By L&C L&C Associates, dehumidifica- tion specialists, recently announced the completion of the installation of an innovative dehumidification, sealing, and monitoring system for the prepositioned, general cargo ship M/V Advantage, chartered to the Military Sealift Command (MSC) to carry cargo. The system, designed and in- stalled by L&C to meet MSC speci- fications, consists of monitoring and dehumidification systems which service each of the vessel's four holds. A major component of the system is a Cargo Environment Monitoring System (CEM), which includes air flow sensors, and humidity sensors. February, 1989 The area monitored by the CEM exceeds 1.2 million cubic feet. Other features of the CEM in- clude a computerized retrieval and recording system, required by MSC specs, designed by L&C. This unit compiles and computes functions and transmits data to a logger lo- cated in the deck office. Data can be downloaded via PC to floppy disks or nonvolatile EEPROM storage cartridges. The computer and monitoring systems have been tested extensive- ly for reliability in the marine envi- ronment and have been designed to retain all data despite a loss of pow- er to the ship. In order to maintain an accept- able environment within the holds, dehumidified air is ducted into the cargo areas and is controlled by humidistats. L&C, using their pat- ented Protective Sealing System, sealed the hatch covers and the hold ventilation system. Sealing the con- trol area is the only way to maintain the integrity of the dehumidified spaces, and L&C's Protective Seal- ing System (PSS) has proven to be an effective and economical method of protection from moisture dam- age. L&C Associates, North Hampton, N.H., is an industry leader in the design and installation of dehumid- ifications, sealing and monitoring systems for the marine market.
