[Milsurplus] OT: BA rust in a coastal environment?

[Don Davis]

Dave is right about dehumidifiers.  Another good approach is a room air
conditioner with a condensation outlet.  Run much longer in the summer,
however.  Higher relative and absolute humidity and higher temperature in
summer.  Rust formation rate doubles for every 10 degree C temperature rise.
In winter, best to keep area cold and dry rather than warm.

>From long personal experience in Macon GA (Robins AFB).  We would generate
several 5 gallon trash cans full of water every day in the summer in a 2,000
square foot B52 flight simulator room.  In summer everything rusted and
rotted - winter was bearable.
