Epcor’s New Test Cell for Dreamliner Cabin Air Compressors

: Aug 16, 2018 - : 3:50 am

Epcor, an AFI KLM E&M subsidiary based in The Netherlands, has opened a test cell for use with Boeing 787 Dreamliner cabin air compressors. The project kicked off in 2016 in cooperation with Bauer, which developed and built the cell.

EPCOR is the first repair shop in Europe able to handle CACs from A to Z directly in its own workshops. EPCOR can thus offer customers operating 787 fleets substantially reduced TATs.

“Because the CAC is a component that has yet to reach full maturity, EPCOR’s all-round capability on this product is a real bonus in terms of responsiveness and availability and hence of operational availability, for the fleets operated by our customers,” said EPCOR Managing Director Martijn de Vries. “Our ambition is to integrate even more components into our support for new-generation 787, 737MAX and A350 fleets, and that includes obtaining approvals from the Chinese authorities.”

EPCOR’s offer for 787 CACs has extended the capability list of its workshops, which already features comprehensive overhaul and test capabilities for the Air Cycle Machines (ACMs) equipping Boeing 737, 747, 777 and 787 fleets.
