New 24v Alternator, I-Series Cabin Heater To Be Installed In New G1000-Equipped Piper Seminoles
Piper has selected Hartzell Engine Technologies LLC to provide its latest I-Series cabin heater and ES-Series 24V/100A alternators as standard on new Piper Seminole multi-engine advanced training aircraft.
“The I-Series cabin heater and the ES-Series lightweight alternators represent the most advanced technologies for their respective categories,” stated Hartzell Engine Technologies President, Mike Disbrow. “We are very proud that Piper Aircraft has recognized their advancements and selected them as standard aboard the G1000-equipped Piper Seminole. To support electrical needs of the latest Piper Seminole’s advanced avionics and systems, Piper Aircraft chose to upgrade it to 24-volt capability. With a list of improvements and features our new heater and alternator have proven to be ideal for Piper’s requirements."
"G1000-equipped Seminoles bring enhanced levels of pilot situational awareness and simplicity to the Seminole cockpit,” said Piper Vice President of Engineering Jack Mill. “By selecting Hartzell Engine Technologies’ components as standard equipment, we keep flight school aviators comfortable and ensure the glass panel has all the electrical power required for traditional proven Seminole performance. Hartzell’s new 24-volt cabin heater and alternators provide the performance we demand while delivering exceptional reliability and value to flight schools throughout the world that will be flying Piper Seminoles to train future aviators.”
One feature of the new alternators that Disbrow feels will be especially beneficial to flight schools that operate the all-glass Seminoles is the alternator’s built-in noise-filtering technology. "With all the electronics in the Piper Seminole, that seemingly small feature will make a huge impact on the comfort level for the students and instructors,” he said. “By helping to keep static out of their headsets, the filtering will be especially appreciated on long cross-county flights.”
