NC1029 On-Board Inert Gas Generating System (OBIGGS)The NC1029 Nitrogen Concentrator (OBIGGS) produces a continuous flow of nitrogen-enriched gas into aircraft fueltanks replacing the combustible fuel/air ullage mixture in the tanks and thereby significantly increases aircraft survivability and crew member safety against ballistic threats up to and including 23mm HEI (High ExplosiveIncendiary) rounds and environmental threats such as lightning and static discharge. The unit incorporates LifeSupport’s proven molecular sieve pressure-swing-adsorption technology. This OBIGGS is being produced for the AH-64 Apache Helicopter.

Features:

● Proven system reliability in excess of 9,000 hours MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure).● Integral heat exchanger, inlet air filter and system performance monitor.● Quality product gas is produced immediately on start-up.● Requires no ground support equipment.● Compared to foam, assures increased usable fuel and easy access to fuel tanks by ground crews.● Maintenance and life cycle costs are both significantly lower than other inerting alternatives.
