Cobham utilises its expertise in water activation technology in
the design and manufacture of a suite of qualified automatic life
preserver inflators used by customers around the world.
Cobham has the ability to customise the configuration of these
inflators to exceed the customer's particular
requirement.
Currently in service worldwide, the FLU-8B/P, FLU-9B/P,
and FLU-12/P are small, lightweight, highly reliable and cost
effective, water-activated life preserver inflators. These
units are virtually identical in their operation; they differ only
slightly in size and appearance. The FLU's advanced
water-sensing electronic circuitry activates upon immersion in
seawater, resulting in the release of compressed
CO2 into the life preserver
bladders.
