Compressor + VFD
Evaporator
Condenser
Condenser fan
Filtration
Electrical cabinet
2 Air Outlets (14’’ each) with one equipped with electrically driven damper
Main Blower

15. Special Condensers –Lighter PCA
Micro Channel Condenser
More compact and better heat exchange than classic CuAl coils
Less amount of refrigerant
Less pressure drop
Easy to clean
Longer lifetime
Energy saving
Easier maintenance

16. Modular Design – Better Up-Time
Change of module in less than 20 min
Require No Special Skills
No welding to be done at gate
Improved MTTR
Few Plugs to be Disconnected
EASY TO CLEAN => SOME OF OTHER BRANDS CAN’T BE CLEANED DURING THIER LIFETIME
BETTER AIR QUALITY 16

17. Modular Design – Main Blower
Easy Access
The module can be removed even when the PCA is mounted underneath the PBB
Potential other brands can provide: G2+G4
EN779 class F5 filter (requirement in EN12312-part17) (EN779 ~ ASHRAE 52-1) Airspeed on air intake = 4m/s
Best air quality blown into aircraft cabin
Longer PCA unit lifetime

18. Stepless Regulation AXA Power Traditional PCA Design
P KW
P KW
With VFD on Compressors
No VFD on Compressors
* VFD: Variable Frequency Drive
Energy savings with « Stepless control » can exceed 20%
Faster response during load variation
Energy saving
Better pull down
comfort optimized for people in and out of Aircraft
FOR DEFROST CYCLING WILL NOT STOP THE COMPRESSOR BUT REDUCE AT A MINIMUM ITS FREQUENCY => WE WILL AVOID THE ANTI SHORT CYCLE HAS TO IMPROVE THE ENERGY TO BE PROVIDED TO AIRCRAFT CABIN.

19. Longer Life Time – Internal Plenum
4 condensate pumps
Full access at the large openings when
the cooling modules are removed
Full access to plenum
and condensate
stainless steel drain pan
Type 304 – Classic 18/8
in accordance with ISO 3506
Easy Maintenance
clean air to the aircraft cabin.
Note: Simulation for hot & wet climate shows that the PCA generates up to 175 l/h (46 gph) water that needs to be pumped away under pressure.
Easy Cleaning in less than 2 hours
Performance level to be maintained
