AUXILIARY POWER UNIT OVERVIEW
AUXILIARY POWER UNIT OVERVIEW
Honeywell Aerospace provides advanced Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) that offer higher performance and reliability with reduced ownership costs. The company is addressing industry challenges such as fuel consumption, emissions, and noise standards, while enhancing electric capabilities for passenger comfort.
The aerospace industry faces pressures to reduce fuel consumption and meet stricter emissions and noise standards. There is also a demand for increased electric capability on aircraft.
Honeywell's HGT1700 APU features variable speed capability and a start generator system providing 150 kVA of electrical power, reducing fuel burn by 10%. An installation kit addresses noise issues, and the Low-E combustor decreases emissions by 25%. Honeywell is also testing bio-fuels to exceed future requirements.
Honeywell is a leading producer of gas turbine APUs, with over 100,000 units produced and 36,000 in service. Their APUs power over 150 applications, including Boeing B737 and Airbus A320. The product range supports power requirements from 50 to 1700 equivalent shaft horsepower. New developments include the HGT750 and 131-9C for improved fuel consumption and lower emissions.
Honeywell offers a comprehensive global support network providing integrated service solutions and 24/7/365 support. They are a leader in aviation aftermarket services, ensuring maintenance and repair services are available worldwide.
APUs provide start power for main engines, pneumatic power for environmental control systems, and backup power for in-flight operations. They enhance engine starting, offer operational flexibility, and ensure optimal cabin comfort.
With 50 years of experience, Honeywell is an industry leader in APU integration, with proven applications in both commercial and military aircraft. They have delivered over 100,000 APUs and lead in green technology innovations.
