If airborne contamination is ingested by a helicopter engine, it can cause severe damage, e.g., erosion, corrosion, and component wear. Helicopters have to be ready 24/7 for rapid dispatch to any location. Their missions cannot be delayed, restricted, or aborted by blocked air intake filters, so they require a maintenance free engine protection system.
The fit and forget Centrisep engine advanced protection system (EAPS), historically also referred to as a "sand filter" or "inertial particle separator", is the perfect solution for such challenging operations. It shields the engine against airborne contaminants, which results in:
- Increased operational availability and reduced downtime
- Safer operation (protection against foreign objects, ice, snow, and rain)
- Protection against engine erosion
- Reduced maintenance and operational costs
