AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT FOR PILOT FULL-PRESSURE SUITS
Abstract
A service test was conducted in order to determine: (a) the requirement for air conditioning flight personnel when wearing full pressure flight suits during expeditionary deployment, and (b) the type of air conditioning equipment most desirable and the quantities required to fulfill the above requirement. Four expeditionary units were tested. The HAC-12 is a 12- outlet conditioned air supply unit, designed for cooling suited air crew members during briefing and standby periods. The Mobile Expeditionary Pressure Suit Cooler-1 is an 8-outlet selfcontained gasoline engine driven air conditioning unit, designed for cooling suited air crew members while they are being transported to and from aircraft. The HD-101 is a suit drying unit designed for drying a single pressure suit and was evaluated in conjunction with the HAC-12 air conditioning unit. The hand portable P/N AJS-1400-1 unit is a hand-held portable liquid oxygen ventilating unit.
