Lufthansa Technik and CTT Systems to market Zonal Comfort TM System and Zonal Drying TM System.

Lufthansa Technik and CTT Systems to market Zonal Comfort TM System and Zonal Drying TM System. Lufthansa Technik and CTT Systems have signed an Agreement to jointly sell and market CTT Systems Zonal Comfort TM System and Zonal Drying TM System. The Zonal Comfort TM System, consisting of a Zonal Drying TM System and humidifiers, will offer humidification of first- and business class cabin up to minimum 25 % RH at the same time as condensation is prevented by using the Zonal Drying TM System. Todays agreement includes sales and marketing activities as well as joint certification efforts. With Lufthansa Techniks long experience and knowledge CTT see vast benefits in expanding the sales of its various systems. In the past CTT and Lufthansa Technik have co-operated in achieving STC for the CRJ, Airbus A330 and B737-800 aircraft. - "For us Lufthansa Technik is an ideal partner. Their knowledge and expertise in system integration, retrofit installation and certification issues is unquestionable. I am also glad to notice the positive support from Lufthansa in our recently launched Zonal Comfort TM System.", comments CTT Systems AB president Mr. Torbjörn Johansson the order. - "The agreement is beneficial for both sides. A number of projects have already been managed in excellent cooperation. CTT's excellent design capabilities, flexibility in handling of special requirements, and last but not least products which have been demonstrating high reliability in airplane operation are the main reasons for Lufthansa Technik to sign the contract" comments Lufthansa Technik Deputy Manager Office of Airworthiness Mr. Peter Buning the agreement. The CTT Zonal Drying TM System is designed to combat problems related to water condensation in the thermal and acoustic insulation of modern passenger aircraft. Airlines encountering "rain-in-the-plane" syndrome and other difficulties related to moisture accumulation in their insulation blankets can use the Zonal Drying TM System to mitigate these problems, reduce maintenance costs by increasing the service life of the insulation and realize significant fuel savings by eliminating the non-revenue weight of the accumulated condense water. By keeping dry the area between the interior trim panels and the aircraft skin, the Zonal Drying TM System also reduces corrosion and the risk of failure of electronic systems and wiring. The Zonal Comfort TM System consists of the Zonal Drying TM System, as well as a humidifier, which raises the humidity in the cabin. The method is based on so-called evaporative cooling, which means that the dry air passes through a moistened pad. Water molecules are transferred to the air, which becomes humid and cools down slightly. This technique provides protection against the transfer of bacteria to the cabin air. To date, CTT have the following customers for their Zonal Drying TM system: - Martinair for B767-300 and MD11 - Jet Aviation for Excecutive aircrafts B767-200, B757-200 and Boeing Business Jet - KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for MD11 and B767 - Austrian Airlines for MD80 - LTU for Airbus A330 - Raytheon Systems Company regarding NASA/DLR SOFIA-project (Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy) - Canadair Regional Jet (undisclosed operator) - Swissair for MD11 - Sterling European Airlines for Boeing B737-800 (Next Generation) - Hapag-Lloyd for Boeing B737-800 (Next Generation) - Icelandair for Boeing B757 - To date, CTT have the following customers for their Zonal Comfort TM system: - SAS for Boeing B767 with option for Airbus A330/A340 aircraft - Lufthansa Technik for the Boeing Business Jet CTT Systems AB is located in Nyköping, Sweden and listed on the OM Stockholm Exchange AB O-list in Stockholm.
