In addition to humidity and evaporation issues affecting the plane during storage, the tailpipe and exhaust system cool faster once the engine is turned off, with the engine's top end remaining warm and drawing water vapor up the tailpipe like a straw. This is caused by thermo-siphoning. So, if there is any humidity, it will be drawn into the tailpipe on the ramp or in the hangar.
Whether you are a single owner or managing the costs of a fleet of aircraft, protect your investment and maintain safety with the 3G Exhaust Ball. Our patented 3G exhaust ball helps fight against engine and exhaust system corrosion whether your aircraft(s) is in the hangar or on the ramp. Keep your engines corrosion free all the way to TBO and beyond. Up to 1.2 cups of water vapor can evaporate from just one square foot in a 12 hour period. Imagine how much exposure to evaporation our plane's exhaust systems are subject to. The 3G Exhaust Ball blocks access to any moisture entering the tailpipe, and the desiccant pack inside the ball absorbs any moisture within the exhaust system. We make the 3G Exhaust Ball for a variety of aircraft. in many colors. Use it after every flight and especially for long term storage. |
