The improved APS5000 performance, in harsh environment as well
The APS5000 Auxiliary Power Unit has been running as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner APU for about ten years now. At first, despite its innovative qualities, performance was generally regarded as suboptimal due to operational challenges. During the following years various solutions were implemented. Performance improved considerably. The engine shows impressive performances all over the world. Operators in harsh environments however may experience specific issues, due to fine dust clogging the cooling system. This is a commonly known issue for any gas turbine operated in a harsh environment. An APU that spools up in a sand storm will wear due to ingestion of dust and sand.
