ITW GSE 3500 PCA

ITW GSE 3500 PCA

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ITW GSE 3500 PCA is a next-generation pre-conditioned air unit designed to enhance gate economics and passenger comfort. It features automated aircraft type detection, modular design, and intelligent power management, making it suitable for all aircraft types and environmentally friendly.
Specifications: The PCA is available in two configurations: PCA 150 with 2 cooling modules and PCA 210 with 3 or 4 cooling modules. It operates with a high power factor of >0.97, reducing line current by up to 20%. The unit is designed for operating temperatures from -30°C to +50°C and features a noise level of <85 dB(A).
Environmental Impact: The "Go Green on Ground" initiative reduces carbon emissions by 80-85% and noise levels, benefiting airport personnel and passengers. The PCA's modular design allows for easy maintenance and reduced spare part inventories.
Innovative Features: The PCA includes a variable frequency drive (VFD) for stepless regulation of discharge temperature, minimizing energy consumption and mechanical stress. It integrates with airport systems for optimized cooling based on specific aircraft data, enhancing passenger comfort.
Efficiency and Cost Savings: The EcoGate system, with the 3500 PCA at its core, improves gate efficiency by integrating ITW GSE equipment. Intelligent Power Management allows for dynamic power allocation, preventing overloads and reducing installation costs.
Compliance and Standards: The PCA complies with various directives and standards, including EMC, LVD, and machinery safety requirements. It features quick swap cooling modules, stainless steel internal ducts, and advanced filtration systems.
Options and Customization: Available options include cabin sensors, ground mounting feet, and various filtration and control interfaces. The PCA can be customized in color and equipped with additional features like a condensate separator for hot climates.

THE SMART CHOICE The ITW GSE 3500 provides a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere for crew and passengers as soon as they step into the aircraft. Automated Aircraft Type Detection allows the 3500 PCA to automatically adapt its airflow to the specific aircraft type – and not just an aircraft category. This not only helps to avoid operator errors – it also increases the PCA cooling performance by more than 50 % and improves the passenger comfort. UNPARALLELLED EFFICIENCY – THE BEATING HEART OF ECOGATE The 3500 is much more than just a PCA. It is the centerpiece of EcoGate, ITW GSE’s visionary approach...

INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT Intelligent Power Management (IPM) is a major EcoGate technology that utilizes installed power smarter. At existing gates, it lets you add more equipment without having to invest in new power capacity. At new terminals, it reduces installation costs and future-proofs the gate. Hosted in the IPM-equipped 3500 PCA, IPM monitors power consumption and allocates power dynamically, prioritizing the mission-critical needs of your GPUs. If a GPU experiences a sudden increase in power consumption that risks overloading the supply, IPM temporarily ‘borrows’ power from the PCA...
