ACC All-Electric Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) Unit
Bridge-mounted, all-electric PCA that cools, heats, de-humidifies and filters air for parked aircraft.
The Kocoverk ACC point-of-use PCA unit mounts under the passenger boarding bridge or at the base of the rotunda to supply pre-conditioned air to a parked aircraft, removing the need to run the aircraft APU or a diesel-powered A/C van. The discharged air is de-humidified, cooled and filtered, and the same unit can be specified to both cool and heat all year round, reducing the need for separate diesel-driven aircraft heaters. PLC remote control at ramp level allows an unskilled operator to select operating modes, and units are sized for each specific boarding bridge and local ambient conditions.
