Helicopters operate in diverse conditions, from deserts, fires and volcanoes to smog, snow, and high-salt environments. Contaminants entering turbine air inlets is inevitable, in addition to the dust cloud rotorcraft churn up every time they take off and land. That’s why Donaldson offers purpose-built inlet barrier filters (IBF). Donaldson IBF systems provide a complete and comprehensive solution for removing contaminants from inlets and advanced overall protection for rotorcraft turbines.
