When the dew point of the outside air is higher than the dew point of the air in the cargo hold, you should _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) not ventilate the cargo holds.
When the dew point of the outside air is higher than the dew point of the air in the cargo hold, ventilating the cargo hold will introduce more moisture into the hold, which can lead to condensation on the cargo and potential damage. To prevent this, the recommended practice is to not ventilate the cargo holds in this scenario, as ventilation would increase the moisture content and could negatively impact the cargo.
The other options are incorrect because energizing the exhaust or intake blowers would facilitate ventilation, which is not the appropriate action when the outside air has a higher dew point than the cargo hold air.
