ITW GSE EcoGate

Product catalog summary
Introduction to EcoGate:
EcoGate is an advanced system designed to enhance airport gate operations by integrating ITW GSE ground support units into a high-efficiency ecosystem. It allows for gate improvements without the need for additional power infrastructure, leveraging existing resources effectively.
Key Technologies:
  • Intelligent Power Management (IPM): Embedded in the 3500 PCA, IPM dynamically allocates power to prioritize GPU needs without exceeding total power capacity.
  • Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Technologies: Enables stepless compressor control for efficient power use.
  • Automated Aircraft Type Detection (AATD): Utilizes VDGS or BMS solutions to optimize fresh air supply by detecting specific aircraft types.
Benefits of EcoGate:
  • Reduces installation costs and complexity for new gates by minimizing power lines.
  • Facilitates further electrification, improving environmental performance.
  • Enhances operational efficiency and reduces human error risks.
  • Improves profitability by lowering costs and ensuring customer satisfaction.
Implementation:
EcoGate requires the ITW GSE 3500 PCA as the central unit, which hosts the IPM system and connects to other units via a single power line, simplifying infrastructure requirements.
Company Overview:
ITW GSE, a division of Illinois Tool Works, is a leading supplier of ground power units and pre-conditioned air units, with a global presence and a commitment to sustainable practices.

ITW GSE EcoGate-2

Move your gate FORWARD Everyone gains from improvements at airport gates. Yet many gate equipment upgrades require power infrastructure changes that are too costly to justify. This means delayed progress at the gate and missed opportunities. We believe the traditional way of thinking about GSE is past its prime. That is why we developed a whole new approach called EcoGate. Moving beyond individual units, EcoGate integrates GSE equipment into a system. An ecosystem, where new efficiencies emerge as units work together to share power and work smarter. A system that enables airports to make improvements...

ITW GSE EcoGate-3

IPM – the brains behind EcoGate IPM with Code C aircraft In our experience, most PCA units and GPUs operate with 35–50% surplus capacity. To take advantage of this capacity, we developed IPM, a key EcoGate technology that allocates power dynamically to prioritize the needs of the GPU without exceeding your total power capacity. Hosted in the 3500 PCA, IPM continuously monitors how much power your GPU and other connected units require. If a unit experiences a sudden increase in power consumption that risks overloading the supply, IPM temporarily ”borrows” power from the PCA. The borrowing is so...

3500 Air Coil 2400 Power Coil 3500 PCA Common Design Platform Power Share Your entire EcoGate system is powered by the 3500 PCA, which requires only a single power line from your main power supply EcoGate starts with the 3500 PCA The ITW GSE 3500 PCA is the centerpiece of your EcoGate installation. The 3500 hosts the IPM control system, VFD technologies and AATD capabilities at the system’s core. Just as important, the 3500 is the physical nexus of your EcoGate system – with a single power line from your main power source running to the 3500, and then multiple lines running from the 3500 to your...
