Honeywell - Cabin Pressure Control Systems
Flying is safer and more comfortable thanks to Honeywell, the leader in reliable systems that monitor and maintain cabin pressure. Now Honeywell is taking cabin-pressure technology to new heights with the Fourth-Generation Digital Cabin Pressure Control System (DCPCS). The fourth-generation system offers distinct advantages over the legacy systems flying in today’s business and regional jets.
The new system provides superior performance at all altitudes and under all operating conditions. Honeywell engineers have designed a system that not only outperforms prior competing systems, but also reduces the lifecycle service costs for the operators.
The Fourth-Generation DCPCS is smaller and lighter than other systems, with an innovative design that reduces total weight by 30 percent compared to a comparable prior-generation systems.
The new Honeywell DCPCS raises the bar on reliability, operating costs and dormant function failure detection compared to current systems using brushed DC technologies. Brushless dc auto motor and built-in test of the altitude limit and manual control function enables operators to improve dispatch reliability and mission effectiveness. Higher reliability also means reduced downtime, lower operating costs and less maintenance.
The Honeywell Difference
With innovations like the first Fourth-Generation Digital Cabin Pressure Control System, Honeywell continues its long legacy of pressure control system leadership that dates back more than 75 years – a legacy from names like Garrett, AirResearch, NormalAir and now Honeywell. You’ll find our systems on regional- and large-category air transport aircraft; military fighters, trainers and cargo aircraft; light jets, turboprops and piston aircraft worldwide. More than 20,000 Honeywell cabin pressure systems are flying today.
Our background as an avionics manufacturer and integrator ensures proper system operation and a smoother path to aircraft certification. And our use of data buses and other connected aircraft technologies enables the cabin pressure control system to perform extra monitoring and prognosis functions.
Our systems can also enable creative uses of cabin air, including thrust, air flow biasing of cabin exhaust, and multiple ventilation schemes, including fuel vapor evacuation, discharge through jet ejectors and multiple fuselage compartment pressurizations.
Features for any platform
Honeywell can perfectly match your specific aircraft configuration and comfort needs with a flexible array of cabin pressure product offerings, including:
