Out with the old.


The old way of doing things isn't always the best way, mechanics. That's why TACOM TACOM Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (US Army)

 made some changes to how and when you service the NBC NBC
 in full National Broadcasting Co.

Major U.S. commercial broadcasting company. It was formed in 1926 by RCA Corp., General Electric Co. (GE), and Westinghouse and was the first U.S. company to operate a broadcast network.

The old annual service wasn't complete enough. Nor was it able to keep up with dirt and moisture buildup problems. That buildup can eventually result in system failure and even an NBC filter fire.

Change 1 (8 Sep 03) to TM 9-2350-264-20-l-5 makes servicing the NBC sponson a semiannual task. The TM change also added some new maintenance procedures, including:

* removing the particle separator and precooler

* inspecting the heat exchanger

* removal of the heat exchanger and condenser condenser

Device for reducing a gas or vapour to a liquid. Condensers are used in power plants to condense exhaust steam from turbines and in refrigeration plants to condense refrigerant vapours, such as ammonia and Freons.
 for cleaning

* inspecting the fan side of the air cycle machine (ACM) for rust

The new and modified services will take a few extra hours to perform, so plan ahead and take no shortcuts.
