The new ITW GSE 3500 PCA automatically adapts its airflow to the specific aircraft type - and not just to an aircraft category.
The modular design is the hallmark of ITW GSE, and ensures exceptional efficiency and reliability in a point-of-use PCA. The ITW GSE 3500 is designed around interchangeable cooling modules that are easily swapped in only 20 minutes.
Smart advantages and features
Automated Aircraft Type Detection through integration with VDGS or BMS
Savings on infrastructure costs with optional Intelligent Power Management (IPM)
Maximum uptime thanks to modular design
Efficient optimal cooling via innovative VFD, compressor and blower
Reduce your carbon footprint and costs
Manufactured in Denmark and Florida
Automated Aircraft Type Detection - how it works
The 3500 enhances passenger comfort via a new Automated Aircraft Type Detection (AATD) technology that integrates with your VDGS or BMS solution.
As the aircraft approaches the gate, AATD enables the 3500 to recognize its exact aircraft type – not just the category. The 3500 then automatically sets the optimal airflow settings, improving PCA cooling performance by up to 54% and reducing the risk of operator error.
Watch this video to see how AATD detects the approaching aircraft type and automatically dials in the right airflow settings.
