Embraer Installs HEPA Filters on ERJ 145 Jets

: Nov 26, 2020 - : 6:43 pm

Embraer recently released a Service Bulletin that allows ERJ 145 operators to install high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. The kits for the first 70 aircraft are expected to be  delivered by mid-December.

This technology is also available on Embraer Executive Jets, with the HEPA filter now standard on both the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600. The company is currently working on the same initiative for the ERJ 135 and ERJ 140 and expects to introduce it soon.

“At Embraer, we are always focused on our customer, on how to better support them and how to further improve our products,” said Johann Bordais, President and CEO of Embraer Services & Support. “Given the moment we are living, developing a HEPA filter service bulletin for the ERJ 145 is a must-have solution Embraer developed for making cabin conditions even safer for passengers.”

In most aircraft, the air in the cabin is completely refreshed between 20 and 30 times per hour, which is significantly more often than in an office environment and even five to six times more often than in a hospital environment. HEPA filters, which are standard on all versions of the Embraer E-Jets and E-Jets E2 families of commercial aircraft, are extremely efficient, capturing 99.97% of airborne particles and other biological contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Earlier this year, Embraer also approved the use of MicroShield360, a preventive coating system that, when applied to aircraft cabin surfaces, continuously inhibits the growth of microbes.
