EcoGate
The ITW GSE state-of-the-art pre-conditioned air units supply fresh, clean air into parked aircraft at carefully monitored temperatures and provide a pleasant atmosphere for both crew and passengers.
The patented, specific modular design helps keep turnarounds on schedule and ensures maximum uptime.
The new ITW GSE 3500 automatically adapts its airflow to the specific aircraft type - and not just to an aircraft category. The unit's truly modular design is unique to ITW GSE, and ensures exceptional efficiency and reliability in a point-of-use PCA.
ITW GSE 3500 Mobile PCA Deliver flexible, high-performance aircraft cooling across the airport. The 3500 Mobile PCA offers plug-and-play efficiency without infrastructure upgrades —...
Protect your hoses and ensure safe operations with the ITW GSE Air Coil. EcoGate enabled and optimized for use with our 3500 PCA, the Air Coil maximizes cooling performance and keeps passengers comfortable by ensuring the best possible airflow.
The ITW GSE 3500 PCA is more than a standalone cooling unit. Within an EcoGate deployment, it forms part of a coordinated system where ground support equipment works together through electrification, power sharing, data sharing, and technical synergy.
When equipped with Intelligent Power Management (IPM), the 3500 PCA can operate within defined grid limits, supporting controlled load usage at the gate. Combined with technologies such as Automated Aircraft Type Detection and stepless VFD regulation, the system adapts cooling performance to real-time operational needs.
Paired with the ITW GSE 3500 Air Coil, hose handling and airflow efficiency are further optimized. Together, these solutions enhance passenger comfort, improve operational reliability, and support scalable cooling performance across contact gates and remote stands.
By connecting cooling and supporting technologies into a coordinated setup, EcoGate enables airports to modernize existing gates and plan new facilities with greater flexibility and control.
The ITW GSE 3500 PCA is one of the industry’s most advanced pre-conditioned air units; engineered to deliver optimal cooling performance and energy efficiency.
Designed for today’s sustainable airport operations, the 3500 PCA ensures precise airflow, low total cost of ownership, and seamless integration with gate infrastructure.
Whether you're upgrading existing gates or designing new ones, the 3500 PCA is the smart choice for reducing emissions, and lowering energy use, all while improving passenger comfort.
Airports worldwide are shifting towards clean-tech solutions, and with smart automation, and minimal energy footprint, the ITW GSE 3500 PCA is designed to help airports achieve their environmental goals.
Want to optimize your airflow even more? Combine the 3500 PCA with the 3500 Air Coil: an automatic PCA hose management system, available as bridge mounted and dolly-mounted for easy deployment with the 3500 mobile PCA.
Sustainable operation – Significantly reduces energy consumption compared to traditional PCA systems thanks to the Automated Aircraft Type Detection.
Enhanced passenger comfort – Precise temperature control during boarding, turnaround, and maintenance.
Lower operating costs – Smart power regulation and reduced mechanical wear lead to lower maintenance and energy expenses.
Easy Installation & Integration – Modular design makes it easy to swop a module without moving the PCA to a workshop.
The ITW GSE 3500 Air Coil is an advanced automatic hose management system designed to take gate operations to the next level. By reducing air leakage and improving efficiency, it ensures consistent and optimized airflow while minimizing energy loss.
As part of the EcoGate system, the Air Coil enhances airport energy efficiency, supporting sustainability goals without compromising passenger comfort. Additionally, its durable design minimizes wear and tear, ensuring greater uptime and extended equipment lifespan.
