Ultra PCS is the leading manufacturer of compact on board gas solutions including our high performance HiPPAG™ compressor, sealed for life Gas Vessels and efficient Ejector Valve Assemblies for Stores Ejection.
Our HiPPAG™ system has two primary applications:
- Providing high pressure cold gas for the reliable and repeatable ejection of stores from military aircraft
- Providing high pressure pure gas for missile seeker cooling without the logistics footprint associated with refillable gas canisters
Ultra PCS provides a range of storage and control products to enable the integration of cold gas systems in to a wide range of platforms.
Generate
Our HiPPAG™ 500 Series systems are designed to meet the demanding requirements of precision ejection systems and provide flexibility of installation within ejector racks, aircraft pylons or in internal weapons bays on high-performance manned and unmanned military aircraft platforms.
- Minimises logistics footprint by eliminating the need for pyrotechnic cartridges, other single-shot devices and their associated support equipment
- Continuous control of system pressure ensures an accurate and repeatable separation of store from
aircraft
HiPPAG™ 300 Series systems provide reliable always available pure gas for missile seeker cooling applications.
- HiPPAG™ eliminates the need for gas bottles with their associated logistics chain and so reduces lifecycle costs
- Pure gas is always available, the pilot no longer needs to worry about gas management
Store
Ultra PCS offers Ejector Valves and Accumulators:
- Designed to fit within an Ejector Release Unit (ERU)
- Receives and stores the high-pressure dry air produced by the HiPPAG™ or ground charge system
- Typically 0.2 to 0.7 litres based on the store size and end-of-stroke velocity requirements
- A pressure balanced servo mechanism and dual-coil firing solenoid valve releases the gas to the ejector rams
- EVA pressure transducer relays the air pressure in the EVA to the aircraft
- Manual vent valves are provided to safely depressurise the EVA for maintenance
Ultra PCS offers a range of high-pressure vessels for the storage of pure air, nitrogen or argon gases. These are in operational use for cryogenic cooling, cold gas actuation, fuel tank pressurisation and stores ejection.
- Designed to store a volume of high-pressure gas
- Bottles can either be single use sealed for life or refillable through a solenoid valve
- Volumes range from a few cubic centimetres up to 2.4L
- Mainly stainless steel or titanium
- Designed to military standards
- DEF-STAN 81-91 or DEF-STAN 00-970
