PCA ADV is ADELTE's advanced generation of aircraft preconditioned-air units that supply temperature- and humidity-controlled air to parked aircraft, replacing the on-board APU during ground operations. It combines heat-pump, INVERTER and variable-frequency-drive technology with the low-GWP refrigerant R-454B to cut electricity use and emissions. The unit can be mounted on the passenger boarding bridge, fixed, or mobile-supported.
