Electroair, a leading provider of innovative ground power solutions for the aviation industry, is proud to announce the launch of groundbreaking products designed to revolutionize electrical and hybrid equipment.
APA ECO Series: The Future of Green Ground Power
We are excited to introduce the APA ECO 60, a Hybrid series designed to eliminate CO2 emissions with its unique technical characteristics. The APA ECO 60 stands out as a beacon of sustainability, offering zero emissions during operation. With its cutting-edge design, this unit is capable of performing the complete service of aircraft at remote parking places using battery power, as well as indoor use, all while emitting zero pollutants.
By replacing traditional Diesel Ground Power Units with battery-powered alternatives, Electroair’s ECO units deliver significant cost savings while eliminating harmful emissions. Statistics from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) reveal that airlines can save up to $15,000 per year in fuel costs for each diesel GPU replaced with a battery-powered alternative. Additionally, maintenance expenses can be reduced by approximately 30% due to the simplified design and lower wear-and-tear associated with battery-powered units.
This unit is also capable to operate from the 50/60 Hz, 400 V, 3 phase main power supply grid as any electrical GPU, without fuel consumption and with zero operating emissions. The range of different APA configurations with no emissions allows safer, cleaner, and more practical operational conditions for operators and personnel on-site.
Compact Electrical Equipment Rectifier EAR 800: The Compact Electrical Equipment Rectifier EAR 800 is a high-performance unit specifically tailored for helicopters and business jets. With a voltage of 28 VDC and a rated current of up to 800 A, the EAR 800 is capable of handling overloads of up to 2500 A, making it an ideal choice for demanding aviation applications.
Exceptionally Small Hybrid Rectifier Unit 28 VDC GPU APA-10: Electroair is also unveiling the Exceptionally Small Hybrid Rectifier Unit 28 VDC GPU, a versatile solution designed for business jets, helicopters, and aviation training centers. The APA-10 features a hybrid design, combining a diesel engine for continuous power with batteries for engine starting mode. Lightweight and maneuverable, the APA-10 offering unparalleled flexibility and convenience.
Recent research conducted by leading environmental agencies has highlighted the significant impact of ground power units like the APA-10 on reducing the global CO2 footprint of the aviation industry. By utilizing a hybrid design and incorporating advanced battery technology, the APA-10 can achieve CO2 emission reductions of up to 70%, resulting in an average reduction of 15,000 kilograms of CO2 emissions per GPU per year, compared to traditional diesel-powered units.
Furthermore, we are so proud of APA-10 has been honored with the prestigious Entrepreneurship Award in 2021 as the Design Applier of the Year, according to nominations by the government and state of the Republic of Estonia. This esteemed recognition underscores APA-10’s innovative design and significant contribution to the aviation industry, further solidifying its position as a leading solution in ground power units.
For owners and operators seeking a green, efficient, and reliable power solution for their aircraft, Electroair’s ground power units stand out as the premier choice. With its innovative design, exceptional performance, and commitment to environmental stewardship, they set a new standard in the aviation industry.
