Enviro Systems selects Ametek Aerospace & Defense for bleed air cooler for Embraer Phenom 300 business jet

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 aluminum pre-cooler provides a lightweight and affordable alternative to stainless steel and is designed to operate at a bleed air inlet temperature of 500°F, while withstanding a 536 psig burst pressure requirement [at 509°F]. The aluminum heat exchanger cools engine bleed air for cabin pressurization, cabin temperature control and cabin anti-ice.

Hughes-Treitler is a recognized leader in heat exchangers and other subsystems designed for equipment cooling or in maintaining the environmental integrity in commercial and military aircraft.  The addition of the aluminum 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 aluminum oil coolers and surface coolers for business jet engine applications.

The Phenom 300 accommodates up to nine passengers and is powered by a pair of Pratt &Whitney Canada's PW535E engines with 3,200 pounds of thrust each.  It has a range of 1,800 nautical miles with six persons aboard and a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.78.  Designed for short-field takeoff performance and an operating ceiling of 45,000 feet, the Phenom 300 is expected to enter service in mid-2009.
