Rev. Date: 29-May-2011 Centrisep® Engine Advanced Protection System (EAPS) for AgustaWestland AW119 Koala Helicopters Description Fit and Forget Engine Protection The AW119 helicopter is used in a variety of roles including executive transport, police, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and military applications. These demanding operations can mean anxious minutes spent hovering close to the ground, as well as frequent landings on unprepared surfaces. These helicopters must be ready 24/7 for rapid deployment to any location. Their missions cannot be delayed or restricted by operational challenges like a blocked filter; they require a reliable, maintenance-free engine protection system. The “fit and forget” Centrisep EAPS is an ideal solution for such challenging operations. It shields the engine inlet from airborne contamination which results in:
Safer operation (Protection against FOD, ice, snow and sand)
Increased operational availability
Protection against engine erosion On the AW119, the unit consists of three flat panels integrated on the engine cowl which replace the standard screen intake. Part numbers:
QB0688 Scavenge system:
Ejector Certification:
Far 27 certification to RTCA-DO160C with Italian Airworthiness Authority, Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile (ENAC-RAI) Certified for operation in the event of inadvertent entry into icing conditions, the AW119 Centrisep EAPS does not need a by-pass door or differential pressure monitoring systems. Maintenance There are no inlet barrier filters to replace or clean; the Centrisep EAPS is a “fit and forget” system. As with all aircraft equipment, routine visual inspection is recommended. In case of damage, please refer to the Component Maintenance Manual 71-61-00 available through Pall Aerospace.
