                           DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.   General
     A.        The QB0267 Engine Air Particle Separator, hereafter known as EAPS, is designed to
               protect the engines of the Puma helicopter from airborne contaminant.
2. Description
     A.        The EAPS consists of a frame as shown in Figure 1. Enclosing the frame is an inlet plate
               and an outlet plate. The plates have a series of matching perforations each of which
               contain an inertial air cleaner.
     B.        Beneath the cover plates and facing aft are seven ejectors and bleed air nozzle
               assemblies. Each nozzle is supplied with bleed air from the engine compressor.
3. Operation
     A.        Air drawn into the engine intake passes through the inertial air cleaners fitted to the EAPS
               (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). Vortex generators input a swirling motion on the passing air
               causing the particulate in the air to be thrown to the outside of the body by centrifugal
               force. The clean air portion of air passing through the outlet tube to the engine. The
               particulate passes through the annular gap between the body and outlet tube into the
               space between the inlet and outlet tube plates.
     B.        The high-pressure bleed air to the nozzles sets up suction in the ejectors causing the
               particulate to be sucked from the frame and expelled overboard.
