KAWAK MODEL 35245

HIGH OUTPUT 28 VOLT SNORKEL PUMP

KAWAK AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES developed its high performance snorkel pump to address the needs of the helicopter fire fighting community. Utilizing cutting edge technology in computer modeling techniques, DC motor design, and the most current thinking in fluid dynamics engineering.

Kawak Aviation Technologies has succeeded in designing a 28 volt snorkel pump that corrects all the performance and reliability issues of current OEM supplied snorkel pumps. Its vastly improved performance and reliability promise to re-define the expectations and utilization of Heli-tanker systems.

With Kawak's new design, no compromises are necessary in fill time or in duty cycles. The increased productivity of the aircraft gives you a distinct edge when competing for performance based contracts.

No other pump can offer you the flow rates that this one can in a 49 pound package!

  1. IMPROVED AIRCRAFT PRODUCTIVITY
    Over twice the capacity of current pumps

  2. HIGH OUTPUT
    Flow rates up to 900 GPM

  3. LIGHTWEIGHT
    Pump assembly weighs only 49 pounds

  4. SIMPLE MAINTENANCE
    Modular design for easy component replacement

  5. RELIABLE
    Engineered design to avoid costly down time

  6. SAFER
    Less time in a hover over the water

SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND FEATURES:

HIGH OUTPUT AXIAL FLOW DESIGN
Computer modeled components optimized for maximum flow rates while using minimal power. Smooth laminar flow eliminates turbulence and power robbing frictional losses.

IMPELLER AND STATOR
Cast from 17-4 stainless alloy for maximum toughness and wear characteristics.

HEAVY DUTY BEARING HOUSING
Impeller is carried on separate shaft and bearing assembly for stability and not on electric motor bearings only. Modular design for ease of maintenance.

ELECTRIC MOTOR
Kawak Aviation Technologies' designed high torque electronically controlled brushless motor reduces heat build up, and eliminates loss of performance from brush wear. Motor control can be set to limit amperage draw between 100 and 180 amps depending on the electrical capacity of the aircraft. The pump directly interchanges with Simplex/Isolair units and requires no installation or modification of hardware onto the helicopter. The water tight design eliminates the single most common cause of leakage and failure in OEM motors. Motor case is directly submersed in water for maximum heat rejection.

SUCTION SCREEN
1/2" diameter perforated.

OPTIONAL OUTLET SIZES
4” or 6” outlet available
