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.

The 2400 Power Coil benefits from EcoGate by always receiving first-priority power. If the 2400 experiences a sudden increase in consumption, and the total power demand exceeds what is available, EcoGate technologies temporarily 'borrow' 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 intelligently. By linking your ITW GSE units together, you can unlock new efficiencies and remove power-related barriers to affordable progress at the gate.

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

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

The ITW GSE 3500 PCA is the centerpiece of your EcoGate installation. It hosts the communication and power distribution that EcoGate depends on, making it the beating heart of your EcoGate-setup.

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.

Using data from your VDGS or BMS, the automated aircraft type detection system tells the 3500 PCA exactly how much air will be needed.

Power Share lets you use excess power from the grid without having to upgrade your gate infrastructure. Power Share simply distributes the power efficiently to your eGPU or other eGSE, etc. – both during and between turnarounds.

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, IPM continuously monitors how much power your GPU and other connected units require. In our experience, most PCA units and GPUs operate with 35–50% surplus capacity. To take advantage of this capacity, we developed IPM, a key EcoGate technology that allocates power dynamically to prioritize the needs of the GPU without exceeding your total 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.

Employing EcoGate solutions like the ITW GSE Power Share and DC Charger will enable you to charge your 7400 eGPU at the gate using your existing power infrastructure and avoiding costly upgrades and disruptive ground works.
