Shenling is a global leader in PCA solutions. We offer a diverse range of PCA units with varying cooling/heating capacities to suit different aircraft types. Our solutions guarantee optimal airflow and superior performance for maximum passenger comfort.
The Shenling AC385 provides a comfortable environment for the crew and passengers by delivering fresh, clean and healthy air to aircraft parked at the boarding bridge. With parked aircraft stopovers lasting 40 to 60 minutes, a PCA unit’s rapid maximum cooling output is crucial for optimal performance. Unlike traditional PCA units that take up to 15 minutes to reach maximum cooling, the AC385 does so in just 30 seconds, cooling to 2°C in 3 minutes. Within 15 minutes, the cabin stabilizes at a comfortable 18-24°C, optimizing passenger and crew comfort.
- Energy Efficient & Saving
Unlike APUs, PCA units run on electricity instead of aviation fuel, reducing energy consumption, operational costs for airports and environmental impact. Research shows that PCA units can cut hourly costs by up to 84.9% compared to APUs.
The Shenling AC385, equipped with 4 to 6 compressors and refrigerant circuits, dynamically adjusts its operation load based on air supply conditions. With a COP of 2.2, 16% higher than traditional PCA units (COP 1.9), it delivers superior energy efficiency, stable performance and reduced power consumption.
The Shenling AC385 features an intelligent controller with an LCD screen and a user-friendly interface for easy operation. Integrated with an IoT platform, it enables remote real-time monitoring, updates and diagnostics via laptop or mobile phone, ensuring faster response times and reduced troubleshooting downtime.
Integrated with the Shenling IoT platform, the aircraft 400Hz power supply and PCA unit running costs are automatically calculated, eliminating the tedious manual billing process used at many airports. This enhances efficiency, improves user experience and ensures more objective and accurate cost calculations.
The Shenling AC385 provides customizable solutions to suit airports worldwide, adapting to diverse climate conditions. Designed for extreme reliability, it operates efficiently in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C, from freezing cold to scorching heat. Additionally, it withstands high humidity and performs reliably in coastal areas prone to salt corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability.
It can be tailored to support multiple power supply options, including 380V50/60Hz, 400V50/60Hz, 415V/50Hz and 460V/60Hz. Available in bridge-mounted, floor-standing, mobile, and vehicle-mounted configurations, it can be installed beneath the Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB) or on the airport apron. For remote parking positions, the mobile and vehicle-mounted models provide optimal flexibility and convenience.
- Easy Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Maintaining and troubleshooting large equipment can often be challenging, but not with the Shenling AC385. Designed with a spacious interior, it allows engineers to perform internal inspections and maintenance with ease. Over 90% of issues are minor and simple to repair, and with direct on-site access, troubleshooting can be done without extensive disassembly, significantly saving time and effort for engineers.
