Pall PUREair System for Sikorsky S-61, SH-3, and AgustaWestland Sea King Series Helicopters
描述
For helicopters, search and rescue operations mean anxious and dangerous minutes spent hovering close to the sea or ground while the engine air intakes are battered by salt spray, sand, dust, and debris.
Salt accumulates on rotating parts, which can reduce the engine power available. Foreign Object Damage (FOD), icing, snow, and hot gas ingestion (HGI) also pose a dangerous threat to rescue helicopters.
Pall’s PUREair system is a “fit and forget” solution that’s ideal for these challenging operations.

Maintenance

There is no filter replacement and no daily cleaning as with oil based solutions which are difficult and expensive to dispose of. |
