Benefits & Features

Completely self-contained diesel powered, continuous flow bleed air unit for operating onboard Environmental Control System (ECS) and jet engine starting. Airflow is provided by an integrated dry screw compressor/gear-set for oil-free air delivery driven by a Detroit Diesel Series 40 engine with diesel and jet fuel compatibility. Endurance in air conditioning mode:
approximately 8 hours of continuous operation per full fuel tank.

EMISSIONS CERTIFIED

The engine meets current Tier Emissions Certifications as specified by EPA and CARB.

ASP-100 Air Start

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

Proven Design:

  • Robust high-pressure direct coupled screw compressor
  • Demand sensitive output regulation
  • Steel support frame on heavy-duty running gear (trailer version) and sound insulated aluminum body panels
  • Delivered air temperature range 400° to 600°F (204°C to 315°C)
  • Eight hours operation on a single tank of fuel
  • Two modes of operation (air-conditioning bleed air and air start)
  • Direct coupled screw compressor
  • Demand sensitive output regulation

Easy to Operate:

  • Simple lighted operator panel mounted on unit near discharge valves
  • Electronically controlled FADEC diesel engine
  • Automatic controls for start and regulation of rpm and pressure for selected mode

Economical:

  • Direct-coupled engine to integral compressor/gear-set requiring no clutches, external gears or pulleys
  • Fewer moving parts equate to lower maintenance costs
  • Idle and Air Conditioning Secondary mode offer significantly less fuel burn
  • Significantly less cost than running the aircraft APU

Durable:

  • Designed to endure the rigors of the flight line environment
  • Easy access to all components for maintenance
