MLIU Datasheet

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Martin-Baker Manual Liferaft Inflation System is designed for the inflation of emergency liferafts and consists of two main components: a 'sealed for life' CO2 gas cylinder and a robust, low-maintenance operating head. This system is cost-effective, with a 10-year maintenance cycle, and can be retrofitted to most single-seat liferafts worldwide.

Specifications: The CO2 gas cylinder is filled with an 8oz gas charge and is designed to be maintenance-free for 10 years. The system requires only a visual inspection every 2 years and a simple pressure test with O-ring replacements at the 10-year mark.

Benefits: The system significantly reduces maintenance costs by approximately 75% compared to current equipment. It is environmentally friendly, eliminating the need for frequent recharging and reducing CO2 emissions and solvent use. After its lifecycle, the cylinder can be repurposed for wet drill training, further reducing environmental impact.

Applications: The system is currently in use in aircraft such as the PC-21, Typhoon, AJT Hawk, Gripen, and KTX. It supports sustainable procurement strategies by minimizing the need for materials, spares, and external resources.

Conclusion: The Martin-Baker Liferaft Inflation System offers a sustainable, cost-effective solution for liferaft inflation, with minimal maintenance requirements and a reduced carbon footprint.

Catalog excerpts

The Martin-Baker Manual Liferaft Inflation System for the inflation of emergency liferafts comprises of two fully qualified MBA designed assemblies: ‘Sealed for life’ CO2 gas cylinder A simple, robust and low maintenance operating head Simple retro-fit Cost effective with a 10 year maintenance cycle Value after expiry - can be used for wet drill training Qualified and flying in PC-21 Reduced costs with minimum labour, training, GSE and maintenance time Over a 10 year cycle, the current equipment is over 4.5 times more labour intensive than MLIU. Therefore, the use of the MLIU substantially reduces maintenance costs. Benefits of combination assembly Sustainable procurement (no CO2 charging facilities, no materials or spares) Reduced cost (minimum maintenance time, labour, training and GSE) Value after life expiry (wet drill training
