Bartec Heating Conductor System for Airbus A 380

Bartec's Heating Conductor Systems offered reliable protection against water damage due to frost exposure both on the ground, as well as in the air.

When the Airbus A 380, the largest passenger airliner of all time, lifted off successfully for its first flight on April 27, 2005, special safety technology made by Bartec was also on board.

The extreme cold temperatures which the water and sewer pipes are subjected to during a typical flight operation; require the constant controlled heating of the aircrafts pipelines.

Bartec's Heating Conductor Systems offered reliable protection against water damage due to frost exposure both on the ground, as well as in the air.

As early as in 1987, Bartec succeeded in concluding a long-term supply contract for the application of Bartec products in Airbus airliner types.

This cooperation had begun with the supply of heating cables in previous Airbus airliners.

In 2001, Bartec, in cooperation with the development department of Airbus, devised a new Heating Conductor System with increased safety standards, which met all the stringent requirements for application within Airbus airliner types.

Since then, these specialist heating conductor systems have been applied in all airliners of type series A 319 and A 340.

Based on the successful track record of these high quality systems, which have been installed in successive Airbus models from the very beginning, Bartec Heating Conductor Systems are now used in the very latest, high-tech A 380.
