Honeywell Attune
Overview
Honeywell Attune is the ideal cooling solution for a multitude of applications such as UAM, military, and civilian aircraft including fixed wing platforms. The system uses advanced technology such as a high-speed centrifugal compressor, next generation refrigerant and power electronics with Silicon Carbide switches, to generate cold air or liquid that can be used to cool heat-generating electronic components, batteries, and aircraft cockpits and cabins.Honeywell already is working with several UAM market innovators to apply Honeywell Attune technology in their air mobility platforms.Honeywell already is working with several UAM market innovators to apply the Micro VCS technology in their air mobility platforms.Our innovative Honeywell Attune (formerly known as Micro VCS) is up to 35 percent lighter and 20 percent more efficient than conventional systems with comparable cooling capacity. The system is highly reliable and virtually maintenance free, thanks to its unique oil-free technology and small number of moving parts, resulting in low total cost of ownership. The Honeywell vapor cycle system (VCS) design experience is based on mature, fielded units that have performed reliably in demanding environments such as the A350, B737, B777, F35, and multiple other defense and business aviation platforms.Honeywell has extensive experience in VCS technology for aerospace applications and is an innovative and well-proven provider of high-speed centrifugal compressors, the critical component of the system.
