Strong partnership built over decades powers new engine that is
the sole engine for the new A330neo
Parker Aerospace, a business segment of Parker Hannifin
Corporation (NYSE: PH), the global leader in motion and control
technologies, is supplying an expansive list of materials for the
new Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engine that will power the Airbus
A330neo.
“Our customer has selected the best combination of established
product pedigree and Parker Aerospace technology to optimize the
Trent 7000 engine,” said Larry Staley, director of engineering for
Parker’s Gas Turbine Fuel System Division.
Parker Aerospace contributions on those engines and the Trent
7000 engine include pneumatic equipment and the complex engine
build-up unit, plus oil and combustion sub-systems.
“The Trent 7000 is the sole engine selected for the A330neo, so
the Parker Aerospace contribution is a real vote of confidence,”
said David Overholt, vice president and general manager for the Gas
Turbine Fuel Systems Division. “Rolls-Royce had a wide choice of
suppliers to choose from, including those whose products were also
used on the very latest engines, the Trent 1000 and the Trent XWB.
We are honored that this important customer selected Parker for the
Trent 7000.”
The fuel atomization nozzle and manifold subsystem produced by
Parker’s Gas Turbine Fuel Systems Division for the Trent 1000 will
be used again for the Trent 7000, an example of how Parker’s
already-certified components will help Rolls-Royce avoid expensive
testing and ease the process of engine certification, while meeting
challenging emission requirements. “Rolls-Royce had choices, but in
an effort to make a better engine, at lower cost, with less lead
time and demonstrated reliability, we worked together and developed
a Trent 1000 combustion solution that was the best result,” said
Overholt.
In an example of how Parker can leverage technologies and
solutions across multiple businesses and divisions, the nozzle and
manifold subsystem employ Parker Stratoflex Products components
like vibration-resistant fuel-delivery hoses. “By absorbing and
dampening the effects of engine vibration, operators can expect
extended service lifecycle and lower costs, said Staley. “The
innovative Stratoflex high-temperature flexible hoses first
appeared on the Rolls-Royce BR725.
“We’re a partner with Rolls-Royce and this is what being a
partner means,” said Richard Mossey, business development manager
for lubrication systems at Parker Aerospace. “We work together to
help not only design and deliver the most cost-efficient engine we
can, but to also support them and the operators that use the
engines throughout their lifecycle. We look to the future in terms
of new product technologies that reduce environmental impact
through lower fuel and oil emissions and better engine
efficiencies. We include sustainability and the environmental
impact as part of engineering the success of our customers.”
Parker Aerospace is in hall 5, stand #C210, at the Paris Air
Show, June 19-25, 2017.
