Fit and Forget Engine Protection The Tiger attack helicopter is currently used by several European defense forces as well as the Australian Army. It has been deployed in desert operations and in 2009 the French Army Tiger helicopter received its operational certificate for use in Afghanistan. Pall’s “fit and forget” PUREair system is an ideal solution for challenging desert conditions. The system shields engine inlets from airborne contamination, which results in:

• Safer operation by protecting against sand and dust, FOD, ice, and snow
• Increased operational availability
• Protection against engine erosion
• Increased time between overhauls

On the Tiger helicopter, the PUREair system is integrated into a complete engine cowl, replacing the dynamic air intake.

Part numbers:

• QB0677
• QB0678                                 

Scavenge system:

• Fan

Certification:

• Eurocopter approved

Certified for operation in case of inadvertent entry into icing conditions and therefore is allowed to operate without the need for a by-pass door and differential pressure monitoring systems.

Maintenance

There are no inlet barrier filters to replace or clean. The PUREair is a “fit and forget” system. As with all aircraft equipment, routine visual inspection is recommended. In the event of damage, please refer to the Component Maintenance Manual, available through Pall Aerospace. 

For additional information about this product, please contact your local Pall representative.

The Pall PUREair solution is also an environmentally friendly alternative to oil wetted barrier filters. There is no filter replacement and no daily cleaning as with oil based solutions which are difficult and expensive to dispose of.
