ITW GSE launched its 3500
PCA in November 2022.
ITW GSE
" VFD also means energy savings because the VFD controls
all main components, including compressors, fans and blowers, "
Rocha explains, adding this ensures a minimum total
lifetime cost. " In addition to energy savings, state-of-the-art
components ensure high performance at the output. "
The 3500 PCA includes an integration to Visual Docking and
Guiding Systems (VDGS), an airport's Building Management
System (BMS) and other data collecting systems. ITW created
an algorithm that factors in different aircraft types and their
needs for air, including airflow, pressure and temperature.
" This automated aircraft type detection feature means that
the PCA receives information on the arriving aircraft type
as soon as the aircraft approaches the gate. From its aircraft
database, the PCA already knows the exact aircraft settings, "
Rocha says. " Automated aircraft type detection makes the
3500 the only PCA on the market to automatically adapt its
airflow to the specific aircraft type - and not just to an aircraft
category. This not only helps to avoid operator errors - it also
increases the PCA cooling performance by more than 50 percent
and improves the passenger comfort. "
Rocha notes the system offers simplified operation, adding the
PCA's operator only needs to use the on and off function. More
With IPM capabilities, the
3500 PCA is able to monitor
all connected equipment.
importantly, Rocha notes the equipment automatically calibrates
itself to deliver the exact airflow and temperature required to
maintain a comfortable aircraft temperature for passengers.
Modular Design
ITW GSE's 3500 PCA has improved on the modular design of
its 3400 PCA model.
By utilizing this design, cooling and optional heater modules
can be quickly swapped out, which helps keep aircraft
turnarounds on schedule.
