An airtight burner chamber with a stainless steel jacket is what makes up a combustion heater. To generate heat, fuel from the aircraft’s fuel system is ignited and burned. Heat is extracted into the cabin area by forcing ventilation air across the airtight burn chamber. Heat is pushed into the cockpit by the fan.
The heater is offered for airplanes in 12 and 24-volt variants, with the 12-volt versions producing between 1212 and 2250 BTUs and the 24-volt versions producing between 2389 and 6690 BTUs.
The global aircraft cockpit heater market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
New Piper Seminole multi-engine advanced training aircraft will come standard with Hartzell Engine Technologies LLC’s ES-Series 24V/100A alternators and I-Series cabin heaters. Hartzell Engine Technologies LLC was chosen by Piper Aircraft Inc. The I-Series cabin heater features an innovative Inconel combustion chamber, which has outperformed ceramic-coated stainless steel in terms of durability in extremely hot environments. Prior to the new-generation Seminole’s certification, Hartzell Engine Technologies received FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) approval.
The new I-Series cabin heaters from Hartzell Engine Technologies LLC (HET) have gained FAA TSO clearance. The I-Series heaters, which are adapted from its military-proven S-Series heaters, have a new combustion tube made of Inconel, a material that has been shown to perform better than ceramic coated stainless steel in applications involving severe temperatures. In order to improve serviceability, the I-Series heaters additionally have a replacement spark plug with an integrated ground electrode.
The new I-Series heaters from Hartzell directly replace B-Series heaters with the Hartzell and Janitrol brands and are free from the regulations in Airworthiness Directive that apply to the B-Series.The I-Series has been given installation authority in place of the B-Series thanks to HET Service Bulletin A-101 revision G, which has been approved by the FAA. Additionally, Hartzell will provide field conversion kits to adapt a B-Series heater to the new I-Series as well as factory rebuilt I-Series heaters.
