Electric Truck-Mounted Preconditioned Air Unit(PCA) for Aircraft

The Shenling electric truck-mounted PCA unit is developed to deliver flexible and sustainable aircraft cabin climate control. Unlike gate-fixed or bridge-mounted systems, it is mounted on an electric-powered truck, making it mobile, zero-emission, and adaptable for various aircraft parking positions, including remote stands. This solution reduces reliance on aircraft APUs, helping airports lower fuel consumption, emissions, and noise.

Product Features

Mobile & Versatile: Featuring a fully self-contained, truck-mounted design, the unit enables rapid deployment and effortless repositioning across the apron. It can efficiently serve multiple aircraft stands without relying on fixed infrastructure, enhancing operational flexibility while reducing installation costs and adapting easily to evolving airport layouts and demands.

Zero Emissions: Both the truck and the PCA unit are fully electric, eliminating the need for fuel entirely. This ensures zero fuel consumption, zero carbon emissions, and a significantly reduced environmental footprint.

Energy Efficient: Operating without fuel, the system removes fuel-related costs and emissions altogether. It can reduce overall energy consumption by up to 40%, while also delivering quieter performance, lower maintenance requirements, and more sustainable, cost-effective airport operations.

Ice Storage Technology: The unit incorporates advanced direct expansion ice storage with external ice-melting technology. Utilizing pre-cooled energy stored from the grid, it delivers over 2 hours of independent aircraft cooling and heating per charge/discharge cycle. Designed for high reliability and efficiency, the system ensures stable performance even under extreme ambient conditions ranging from -20°C to 55°C.
