Modification Benefits
-
Improves ECS performance
-
Reduces costs by up to $5 per hour on ACM and heat exchanger
maintenance. (Dash 8 Operators Conference Notes 2000)
-
Enhances ground air cabin ventilation through separate
augmentation ducting
-
Improves in-flight heat exchanger flow and eliminates heat
exchanger contamination from ECS bay fluids
-
Has been shown to reduce pack output temperature by
5°C (test results from S300 ground testing), which
improves cabin and cockpit temperatures, and reduces customer
complaints (ISAR 2002.01).
