Bleed air cooler

Bleed air cooler

Enviro Systems, Inc. has selected AMETEK Hughes-Treitler to provide bleed air plate-fin heat exchanger for the Embraer Phenom 300 light business jet. The aluminium pre-cooler provides a lightweight and affordable alternative to stainless steel and is designed to operate at a bleed air inlet temperature of 5008F, while withstanding a 536 psig burst pressure requirement (at 5098F). The aluminium heat exchanger cools engine bleed air for cabin pressurisation, cabin temperature control and cabin anti-ice.

Hughes-Treitler is a manufacturer of heat exchangers and other subsystems designed for equipment cooling or in maintaining the environmental integrity in commercial and military aircraft. The addition of the aluminium pre-cooler further broadens Hughes-Treitler's product offering for the business jet market that already includes fuel-tank- submerged hydraulic oil coolers and high-endurance inconel anti-icing heat exchangers as well as multiple high- pressure plate-fin aluminium oil coolers and surface coolers for business jet engine applications.
