Hamilton Sundstrand Corp. in Windsor Locks and a Chinese electromechanical systems company signed a joint venture to assemble vapor cycle cooling systems for future aircraft in Nanjing, China, beginning in September.
It is the companies’ second partnership announced in as many months.
Hamilton spokesman Dan Cuolum said it’s too early to try to place a value on the dealp revealed late Monday.
Hamilton and 50-50 partner AVIC Electromechanical Systems Co. Ltd. Â first announced plans to partner in developing cooling systems last November at China’s Zhuhai Air Show.
In March, they jointly announced a potentially $1.5 billion deal to co-develop the power systems, pilot controls and fire and overheat protection systems for the 150-seat C919 passenger jet, China’s first production regional jetliner.
Hamilton is a unit of United Technologies Corp. in Hartford. AVIC Electromechanical is a subsidiary of Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).
