Environmental Control System

The Environmental Control System (ECS) provides clean air, thermal control and cabin pressure for the crew and passengers. Our sensors ensure that these systems operate efficiently and reliably, which ensure that passengers are able to fly safely and in comfort.

Challenges:

The ECS is an essential system within the airframe, providing cabin and emergency air supply, fire protection and anti-icing system. Therefore product reliability is paramount, especially in the sensor, which is providing the information to the control system. Often these sensors will be fitted for the whole life of the aircraft, so performance over the aircraft’s lifetime is crucially important. Failures within this application can cause AOG conditions, which result in rising costs for airlines and a loss of overall airframe credibility. In service removals of failed sensors are particularly costly and challenging from a logistical perspective, thus affirming the importance of product reliability - a characteristic that our products embody from design through to qualification.

Solutions:

We provide accurate sensors for complex low pressure differential pressure (ΔP) applications, as well as a vast experience designing sensors to provide a robust solution at a competitive price. Our sensors within this application are used on all of the world’s most produced aircraft.
