The installation package includes everything for installing the system, including the Supplemental Type Certificate, the ionizers, and Parts Manufacturer Approval parts kits
21 January 2021: Duncan Aviation has created an installation package for the Aviation Clean Air (ACA) ionization system for Bombardier Global aircraft. The packages include everything necessary for installing the ACA Ionizer system in Global aircraft, including the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), the ionizers, and Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) parts kits. Apart from Global aircraft, the engineers have also developed an STC and installation package for Challenger 300 and Challenger 350 aircraft.
Pat Mapes, Manager of Avionics Install Line at Duncan aviation said, “The necessary modification of the air ducts for the installation will be done at Duncan Aviation facility in Lincoln, Nebraska, while the main installation will be done at any of the facilities in Battle Creek, Provo, or Lincoln or any of the satellite shops in US.”
Designed to be installed in an aircraft’s existing environmental control system, the ACA ionizers operate in the aircraft’s ductwork. The ionized hydrogen molecules neutralize pathogens and remove allergens and unpleasant odors, including those from pets, cigarette and cigar smoke, engine exhaust, cooking, lavatories, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
The ACA systems are in great demand in the industry since the pandemic outbreak. Aircraft operators are now looking at ACA installation packages for other aircraft models too. In a recent testing conducted by an independent lab the ACA ionizer was proven effective against the novel coronavirus.
