8563C000 — Condenser/Water Extractor Repair & Overhaul

Component Overview

A condenser/water extractor is a combined heat-exchange and moisture-removal unit in the air cycle cold section that cools warm, humid pack air against the colder turbine discharge so entrained vapor condenses, then mechanically extracts the resulting free water. By drying the air ahead of the cooling turbine in high-pressure water-separation pack architectures, it improves cooling efficiency and prevents downstream icing. The condenser core promotes condensation while an integral coalescer and swirl extractor collect and drain the water. Repair and overhaul are driven by core fin cracking and internal leakage, brazed-joint failure, coalescer fouling and degradation, swirl-vane and housing corrosion, drain-path blockage, and seal deterioration, all of which reduce condensation efficiency and allow moisture carryover into the distribution system.

Aircraft Application

Part number 8563C000 (Condenser/Water Extractor) is installed on the Dornier 328. QTC supports operators and MROs servicing this platform with certified repair and overhaul.

Our Repair Capability

QTC repairs and overhauls 8563C000 to the original manufacturer's specifications under our FAA and EASA Part 145 approvals. Our team — including former OEM heat transfer engineers — performs teardown, inspection, cleaning, component replacement, functional testing, and certification, returning a serviceable unit with the appropriate airworthiness release. We also develop repairs for rejected and beyond-economic-repair (BER) hardware.
