Mobile PCA unit AC215

electrictrailer-mountedfor aircraft

Overview
The Shenling Fully Electric Mobile PCA (pre-conditioned air) Unit is designed for aircraft ground air conditioning at remote apron parking positions. The AC215-Mobile combines compact mobility, rapid cooling and reliable operation across extreme ambient conditions to support ground handling and turnarounds while eliminating the need for onboard APUs.

Key Features

• Mobile configuration for flexible deployment on remote aprons
• Inverter and fixed-speed drive options available
• Rapid cooling: reaches 2°C in approximately 3 minutes (AC215 example); peak cooling available within seconds
• High energy performance with example COP: 2.2
• Intuitive LCD touchscreen interface with IoT platform integration for remote monitoring and diagnostics
• Rated for reliable operation in extreme ambient temperatures (-40°C to 60°C)

Performance & Energy

• Operates entirely on electricity as an alternative to APUs, reducing fuel use, emissions and noise
• Operating cost reduction versus APUs reported in case studies (example reductions up to ~84.9% hourly cost in referenced research)
• AC215 example uses 4–6 compressors and multiple refrigerant circuits to dynamically adjust load and maintain stable performance
• Coefficient of performance (COP) example: 2.2 (approximately 16% higher than some traditional PCA units with COP ~1.9)

Control & Connectivity

• Intelligent controller with LCD touchscreen for straightforward on-site operation
• Integrated IoT platform enables remote real-time monitoring, software updates and diagnostics via laptop or mobile device
• IoT features can automate calculation of aircraft 400 Hz power usage and PCA running costs for billing and monitoring workflows

Adaptability & Installation

• Designed for global airport environments including high humidity and coastal salt conditions; operating range -40°C to 60°C
• Multiple power supply options supported: 380V 50/60Hz; 400V 50/60Hz; 415V 50Hz; 460V 60Hz
• Available configurations: bridge-mounted, floor-standing, mobile, vehicle-mounted and PBB-mounted; mobile and vehicle-mounted models optimized for remote-apron parking

Maintenance

• Spacious internal layout to facilitate maintenance and on-site troubleshooting
• Modular design intended to simplify repairs so most faults are minor and quick to resolve without extensive disassembly

Reference Projects

• Deployed at multiple international airports; reference projects and case studies available on the product page
