GTC:
• Marginal capability for engine starts during hot weather or at
high field elevations
• ATM consumption of bleed air can be critical during self
contained engine start
• Insufficient output for adequate ECS operations on ground
APU:
• Higher air output provides quicker engine starts, reducing
excessive starters and turbine wear and tear
• Full ground operational capability of both ECS and electrical
systems concurrently
APU Upgrade Benefits
•
•
•
•
•
Reduced overall operating cost
Reduces the need for Ground Power Units
Increase operational autonomy and mission reliability
Reduced maintenance downtime
Increased bleed air reduces possibility of hot or stalled
starts
• APU direct drive 40 KVA generator provides
increased electrical - power and decreases power
fluctuations
