APU metal seal

High-performance metal/fabric seal for auxiliary power units, compliant with AC 20-135 / ISO 2685 fire resistance requirements, primarily used on hot air outlets. Sustainable system made of 100% metallic components for easier recycling.

Main Benefits

  • Fireproof solution (1,100°C for 15 min)

  • Full metallic solution

  • Easy to assemble

  • Permits high displacement

Key features

Safety

In the event of a fire, Hutchinson's system creates a barrier to temporarily impede the fire, allowing more time for exceptional pilot reaction.

Excellence

An extremely robust solution, this fire seal is installed in the engine compartment to allow bleed air to escape from the turbine for improved air and oil cooling.

Applications

  • Technology mainly used for engines, nacelles, APU, pylon, and karman environments.
  • Often linked with cross-contamination requirements for nacelle purposes.
