We are the manufacturers of Airborne Oil Coolers for a wide variety of applications: Turbo Jet hydraulic systems, Helicopter Gear Boxes, Aircraft Piston Engines and more. At TAT Technologies we make all types of Fin & Plate Oil Coolers - Air/Oil, Fuel/Oil and Water/Oil.

TAT Technologies is an innovator in the field of Oil Coolers and has unique products for which we have patent pending like the breakthrough MonoBlock.

Among our customers you will find some of the world leaders such as Boeing (F-15, V-22, 737, 767), Safran Group - Hispano-Suiza, Hamilton APU's, Pilatus Aircraft and more.

This line of TAT products is versatile and impressive in terms of both engineering and technological challenges. Our unique Cold Plates are used for cooling power electronics by means of gas, fluid and phase-changing materials and are literally tailor-made to meet any requirement, however daunting.

Only TAT vast experience in the field coupled with unquestionable prowess of our engineering and production teams can produce a state-of-the-art Cold Plate at an unbeatable price and lowest weight.

As for the clients, such prestigious companies as Thales, Rafael, IAI-Elta, Elbit, LIG Nex1 and others have been entrusting TAT with their most sensitive applications over many years.

Another facet of TAT activities worth honourable mention is engineering and production of dedicated self-contained Cooling Systems of modular design for power electronics. Such Systems typically incorporate various flow control devices such as pumps and valves along with most efficient heat exchangers. The winning combination of low weight and superior performance is achieved by multi-year TAT expertise, all under one roof. Our continued success with such demanding clients as Elta and Elisra attests to TAT maturity and competence.

Talking of Cooling Systems, TAT is also proud to offer its Environmentally Friendly Air Conditioning System (EFACS), an environmental control unit for electronics or personnel. The System is based on high-speed, self-propeller Air Cycle Machine and its possible applications are diverse and fascinating, be it a pod or a manned vehicle.

TAT designs and develops advanced 28VDC and 400Hz AC Vapor Cycle Cooling Systems (VCCS) for used on Helicopters and Business Jet Aircraft both for Military and Commercial applications. Our VCCS can be designed as FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) and also as a solution for OEM Aircraft manufacturers.

Our goal is to design and produce a truly integrated and efficient VCCS which demands and provides superior passenger comfort while minimizing weight, drag and cost. In order to achieve this goal we are constantly looking to used in our designs advanced components which are available in the market such as fin-plate heat exchangers, brushless motor, efficient electrical variable speed motors, advanced compressors etc.

The field of Military Air Conditioning Systems has earned TAT a reputation of supplier of highly reliable and affordable equipment remarkable for its performance and simplicity. TAT manufactures a comprehensive line of AC Systems for any application where heat removal is essential. Simple installation, maintenance and easy integration make our systems user-friendly. All our Systems meet the requirements of applicable Military Standards (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461) and serve around the world in extreme conditions. Our Air Conditioning Systems are typically installed on Military Communication Shelters, Mobile Shelters, Military Tents, Armoured Vehicles, etc.

No list of TAT capabilities is complete without mentioning the vast experience we have accumulated over many years in design and manufacture of Flow Control Accessories. In this field, TAT is a single address for all your "Built-to-Spec" and "Built-to-Print" needs.

Full engineering and manufacturing capability of TAT with regard to Flow Control Accessories has repeatedly proved itself in such ingenuously developed hardware as Bleed Air Valves, AC & DC Pumps, Float Valves, Gate Valves, Fuel Flow Proportioners, Fuel Drop Tank Valves, etc. These can be found on both military (F-15, F-16, F-18, T-50) and civil (Galaxy) aircraft.

TAT is also manufacturing the Emergency Power Unit for F-16 aircraft under license with perfect record.

A plate-fin heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger design that uses plates and finned chambers to transfer heat between fluids. It is often categorized as a compact heat exchanger to emphasise its relatively high heat transfer surface area to volume ratio.

The plate-fin heat exchanger is widely used in many industries, mainly the aerospace industry for its compact size and lightweight properties, as well as in cryogenics where its ability to facilitate heat transfer with small temperature differences is utilized.

Our sheet metal department supports all activities in the brazed parts manufacturing that require welding and sheet metal working.

In our Sheet Metal Departments, we employ the most experienced and skilled sheet metal workers and welders one can find in the field to make sure that TAT remains at the forefront.

Furnace brazing is a semi-automatic process used widely in industrial brazing operations due to its adaptability to mass production and use of unskilled labor. There are many advantages of furnace brazing over other heating methods that make it ideal for mass production.

One main advantage is the ease with which it can produce large numbers of small parts that are easily jigged or self-locating. The process also offers the benefits of a controlled heat cycle (allowing use of parts that might distort under localized heating) and no need for post braze cleaning. Common atmospheres used include: inert, reducing or vacuum atmospheres all of which protect the part from oxidation. Some other advantages include: low unit cost when used in mass production, close temperature control, and the ability to braze multiple joints at once. Furnaces are typically heated using either electric, gas or oil depending on the type of furnace and application. However, some of the disadvantages of this method include: high capital equipment cost, more difficult design considerations and high power consumption.

TAT Test Facilities match the diversity of our products and meet the requirements of MIL-STD-810 and RTCA/DO-160D.

Pneumatic and hydraulic equipment as well as heat transfer equipment and a host of valves can be tested on the premises in a wide range of test conditions.

Special test benches have been set up for Hydrazine equipment, Air Conditioning Systems, Engine Starters and Secondary Power Units.

Whenever a special test bench is required, it is designed and manufactured in house by our Engineering Departments in order to ensure accuracy and validation of the test.

Ensuring top quality of products and service is a cornerstone of TAT philosophy.

As quality-minded company, TAT is certified to AS9100 Rev. B and ISO 9001:2000.

Our Quality Management System is fully documented in Quality Manual and is regularly audited and approved by leading aerospace and military entities throughout the world including Lockheed Martin, Boeing Co., Israel Aircraft Industries, Liebherr-Aerospace, Cessna Aircraft Co., Israel Air Force, U. S. Air Force and Navy, Teledyne, Honeywell Aerospace, General Electric Corp. - Engine Div., etc.
