Aircraft Air Conditioning
We have several air conditioning systems flying. Production positions are now available! Please contact us for more details.
Airflow Systems was the first to deliver a viable air conditioning system for composite kit aircraft in 1995 (Doug Whitman’s Lancair IV-P). Since then, we have developed air conditioning kits for a wide range of experimental aircraft and a few certified aircraft as well. Airflow Systems now offers systems for almost all of the popular kit-built aircraft on the market.
Our air conditioning system kits have the following benefits:
- The Lightest Weight
- Lowest Electrical Draw
- Easy to Install
They have been tested and proven to have the highest Btu rating per installed weight of any kit. Readily available R134A refrigerant is used, along with lightweight small outside diameter hose to facilitate routing through tight spaces. All systems use our proprietary serpentine belt compressor drives for maximum performance and long belt life.
Please take a few minutes to read our “Air Conditioning Design Considerations” document to better understand what comprises a successful air conditioning system for your aircraft.
Custom and OEM inquiries are welcomed.
The first Airflow Systems air conditioned Glasair II is now flying and undergoing testing in Texas as of January of 2013. Preliminary results are favorable and Glasair II owner Don Saint (famous for his air race efforts) has written an extensive and well documented report showing installation and performance. Anyone who has flown a low
For the past ten years Glasair III owners have been able to enjoy the comfort of first class air conditioning with an Airflow Systems retrofit A/C kit. An attractive overhead console delivers cold air to the pilot and passenger from an evaporator mounted behind the baggage compartment (no loss of baggage space)
Airflow Systems was the first company to successfully deliver a viable air conditioning kit for a composite kit built aircraft over 15 years ago when we installed our first kit in a Lancair IV-P. Since delivering that first kit, a program of continuous improvement has resulted in the lightest, most energy efficient A/C system available
