EcoGate

Protect your hoses and ensure safe operations with the ITW GSE 3500 Air Coil .

The Air Coil takes PCA hose management to the next level, delivering unmatched efficiency and sustainability at your gates.

As part of the EcoGate system, the Air Coil and high-performance hoses are engineered to work seamlessly with the 3500 PCA, optimizing the airflow right up to the aircraft inlet.

At the core of the Air Coil’s exceptional performance are the new innovative SuperHose AirTight and SuperHose KinkFree.

Highly insulated and designed to prevent kinks, these advanced hoses reduce air leakage by 40%.

This improves the efficiency of the 3500 PCA by using less power from the mains supply, and in the EcoGate system this excess power can be allocated to other units.

In an EcoGate system, the 2400 GPU always takes priority. ITW GSE 3500 PCA uses intelligent power management to monitor power consumption and then allocates power dynamically. Since your GPU is the most critical connection, the PCA always makes sure this unit gets the power it needs, adjusting its own consumption to ensure that your total gate power capacity is never exceeded.

The 2400 Power Coil benefits from EcoGate by always receiving first-priority power. If the Power Coil experiences a sudden increase in consumption, and the total power demand exceeds what is available, Intelligent Power Management temporarily ‘borrows’ power from your 3500 PCA to meet the need. The gate’s total power capacity is never exceeded.

The 2400 Automatic Cable Retriever (ACR) is part of EcoGate, ITW GSE’s high-efficiency system of ground support units that work together. By linking your ITW GSE units together, you can unlock new efficiencies and remove power-related barriers to affordable progress at the gate.

Our common design platform includes an intuitive icon-based operator interface and shared modular design for optimal service and repair.

Beyond stand-alone operation, the 3500 PCA is designed to integrate seamlessly into a coordinated gate system built on electrification, power sharing, data sharing, and technical synergy. It hosts several EcoGate technologies such as Intelligent Power Management and Automated Aircraft Type Detection.

The 3500 PCA design includes updated VFD technology that allows for easy, stepless regulation of the discharge temperature. This means that the 3500 supplies exactly the right amount of cold air, never more.

The ITW GSE 3500 PCA is a truly modular PCA. It is designed around interchangeable cooling modules that are easy to swap by a technician with no special refrigeration skills and in 20 minutes only. This helps keep aircraft turn-arounds on schedule.

The 3500 PCA uses aircraft ID data from VDGS, BMS and similar systems to deliver optimal air flow to each individual aircraft.

Charge your high voltage GSE by connecting the DC Charger with the ITW GSE 2400 GPU. The GPU will control how much power the DC Charger has available, and you do not need to upgrade your existing infrastructure. Available with one or two outlets of 60 kW (CCS1 or CCS2).

Charge your high voltage GSE with the ITW GSE DC Charger. The charger is available with one or two outlets of 60 kW (CCS2) and can be connected to an ITW GSE 2400 GPU, which will control how much power the charger has available. This means you do not need to upgrade your existing infrastructure.

Hosted in the 3500 PCA, Intelligent Power Management lets airports utilize power infrastructure smarter. It allocates power to other units dynamically, while ensuring that you never exceed your available power capacity.

Moving beyond individual units, EcoGate integrates GSE equipment into a system. An ecosystem, where new efficiencies emerge as units work together to share power and work smarter and a system that enables airports to make improvements they could not make affordably before.

Deploying EcoGate solutions like the ITW GSE Power or DC Charger enables you to charge your 7400 eGPU using your existing power infrastructure and avoid costly upgrades and disruptive ground works.
