The bleed air contamination monitor was developed at Honeywell to ensure that our products provide the highest quality bleed air to aircraft environmental control systems. The bleed air contamination monitor is currently for ground based applications only. It is being developed into an on board system for future applications. Current Aircraft Cabin Air Quality measurement techniques are very labor intensive and require days or even weeks of laboratory analysis to provide results. This is unacceptable from a manufacturing and service perspective. Development of a real time analyzer began in the early 1990s and has progressed to a point where a product is ready for introduction that not only provides real time information regarding engine air contamination, but is also easy for operators to use with a minimum amount of training.

Honeywell is developing a 50-kW, high efficiency PEM fuel cell stack system (FCSS) for use in light-duty vehicle transportation under sponsorship from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The performance goals of the FCSS include weight, volume, cost, efficiency, and transient performance. The project includes design, testing, and delivery of the FCSS to DOE. A conceptual system design is presented including trade study results and the technology gaps that must be bridged to meet the DOE goals.
