Alfons Haar has introduced their own design of Helicopter Inflight Refuelling (HIFR) assembly into the product line.
Advantage:
•Available on short lead time
•Simple system handling
•Easy manual emergency breaking
•High flowrate due to low pressure loss
•STANAG 3847 compliant
•Conforms with ”Certificate of Airworthiness” requirements
•Break force - independent of pressure
•Electrical conductivity achieved without any additional cable
•Available in different configurations
•UNISEX couplings acc. to MIL-C-53071
•High flow rate due to low pressure drop
•Real dry break function
•Cost saving by using the aircraft coupling of the HRS (integrated aircraft coupler is optionally available)
•Highly resistance against sea air corrosion
•Temperature range: -32°C - +50°C
•Manufactured under the quality monitoring of Alfons Haar (DIN ISO 9001)
•All safety components are supplied with individual test reports
•Designed in collaboration with the Deutsche Bundesmarine (German Navy) and the Germanischer Lloyd
•Approved by the Deutsche Bundesmarine (German Navy)
The HIFR assembly consists of (downstream) (part no. 2313695):
•UNISEX coupling for full pump performance with a high flow rate (1)
•Deck tie down point with shackle (hook optional) (2)
•30m (100 ft) electrically conductive flat hose (3)
•Break away coupling with a breaking point acc. to STANAG 3847 (4)
•Winch point with lifting eye (5)
•3m (10 ft) electrically conductive hose DN38 (6)
•UNISEX couplings to fit the HIFR assembly to the refuelling hose (7)
•Bonding assembly according to STANAG 3682 (8)
•Existing aircraft coupling of the HRS (9)
•Hook to fasten the aircraft coupling at the winch point (10)
