Carleton Life Support Systems Inc. NC1069 Nitrogen Concentrator

Since pilots have had the need to breathe at high altitudes, Carleton Life Support Systems Inc. has been there for them, providing oxygen enriched air and committing to the safety of their mission.
Carleton Life Support Systems is a world leader in the application of air separation technology for aviation applications and in the design and manufacture of miniature sterling cycle cryogenic coolers. Bendix Aviation founded the company in 1951 and the sold the facility to Litton Industries in 1982. Northrop Grumman Corporation acquired Litton Industries in 2001 and then in August 2003, divested the Life Support division, based in Davenport, IA, to Cobham plc, Dorsett, United Kingdom. Carleton Life Support is now part of the Carleton Technologies family of companies owned by Cobham.
Since its inception, Carleton Life Support has continually challenged its employees by encouraging forward thinking and maintaining its leadership role in advanced technology for military and commercial products. Life Support has developed an attention for details and prides itself on its rich history and reputation for excellence. Today, that persistence and innovation has transformed Carleton Life Support into a world-class operation that is on the forefront of superior new technology and continued market leadership.

NC1069 Nitrogen Concentrator

Operating as the “Heart” of the large scale OBIGGS fuel inerting system, Life Support’s NC1069 Air Separation Module (ASM) was specially designed for fuel tank inerting on the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III airlifter. The unit incorporates Life Support’s proven molecular sieve pressure-swing-adsorption technology. Two ASM’s are utilized per aircraft for inerting the C-17 fuel tanks under all flight profiles. Inerting of aircraft fuel cells significantly increases aircraft survivability and crew member safety against ballistic threats up to and including 23mm HEI (High Explosive Incendiary) rounds and environmental threats such as lightning and static discharge.

Features:

Integral inlet air filter.
Built-in fault diagnostics for failure detection and fault isolation.
Maintenance and life cycle costs are both significantly lower than other inerting alternatives.
Lighter in weight and utilizes less space than liquid nitrogen.
Compared to foam, assures increased usable fuel and easy access to fuel tanks by ground crews.
Minimal ground support equipment required.
