Health monitoring of ozone converter

Abstract:

A system and method for determining a remaining useful life of an ozone converter of an aircraft are disclosed. The method comprises using flight data of the aircraft and location-based ozone exposure data to determining a cumulative ozone exposure for the ozone converter. The cumulative ozone exposure and a predetermined ozone exposure capacity of the ozone converter are used to determine a remaining useful life of the ozone converter. Based on the determined remaining useful life of the ozone converter, an indication that the ozone converter is approaching an end-of-useful-life condition is provided.
