Cirrus Says New Donaldson Filter Design Offers More Efficient
Airflow Than Previous Systems
Donaldson Aerospace & Defense announced Wednesday that the
company has initiated a new OEM agreement with Cirrus Aircraft to
supply engine air intake filters for the new Cirrus SR22T aircraft.
Shipments began in June 2010.
SR22T Filters Installed
Cirrus Aircraft selected Donaldson for its reputation of
providing superior filtration technologies for the aerospace
industry and for its ability to develop a tailor-made solution to
fit this specialized application. "We're very pleased that Cirrus
Aircraft has selected Donaldson air filtration technology for this
state-of-the-art aircraft," said Sheila Peyraud, General Manager of
Aerospace & Defense at Donaldson Company. "The Donaldson engine
intake filter is manufactured using a fiberglass, synthetic media
and is designed to provide maximum airflow to the engine in this
high-performance aircraft."
The Cirrus SR22T is the newest member of the Cirrus SR22 family of
composite airframe piston engine aircraft. The key feature of the
four-seat airplane is the 315 HP twin turbocharged TSIO-550-K
engine. Providing air to the engine is a redesigned cowl with new,
dedicated NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics)
induction inlets - one on each side of the lower cowl - which
direct air flow into the dual Donaldson filters. This new system
offers improved engine airflow and better performance.
Paul Brey, VP, Product Development at Cirrus Aircraft commented,
"The Donaldson engineers went out of their way to understand our
application and ensure that their product fit well and worked
perfectly from day one. The Donaldson team's attention to
detail and ownership of filtration aspects allowed the Cirrus team
to focus on other areas of the aircraft development."
