Heat exchangers for P&W 6000 engine to power Airbus A31 8

Keyword: Heat exchangers

Serck Aviation and Stewart Warner are supplying the heat exchangers for the P & W 6000 engine which will power the Airbus A318. There are three heat exchangers of which one is Serck's second generation high temperature air/air buffer cooler.

Originally developed for the P & W 4090 engine series, which powers the Boeing 777, the air/air buffer cooler puts Serck Aviation at the forefront of aviation high temperature heat exchanger design.

Providing positive pressure cooling to bearing chambers the unit is manufactured in inconel 718 and uses a new technique for attaching the cooling tubes to the manifold which is economical in production and repair (Plate 16).
