- PMDC – Never stops blowing cold air
- Single or Dual Outputs
- Optional Bridge Pre-Cool
Our CW+DX systems are a superior choice for hangar operation and also ideal for ramp operation where underground duct and pits are available to control airflow, pressure and temperature needs for commercial aircraft.
- Only PCA unit able to supply -18°C and -10°C supply air
- Highest energy efficiency utilizing CW at 0.7 KW/Ton
- Complies with Airbus “Subfreezing PCA Carts – Compliance Document for Suppliers”
Northern Air Systems is a trusted partner for replacement AHU centralized systems that remain in service.
- Provides sub-freezing discharge at the unit of 25°F (-4°C)
- After delivery, system maintains 34°F (1°C) at aircraft connector
- Extremely Light Weight
