Air Start Units
Freightquip supplies mobile Air Start Units (ASUs) that deliver high-pressure compressed air to aircraft engines during start-up, particularly in remote operations or when onboard systems are inactive. These units are vital for initiating turbine rotation on aircraft where internal power is insufficient.
Technical Overview:
ASUs are equipped with rotary screw or centrifugal compressors capable of delivering air at pressures up to 50 psi and flow rates exceeding 200 ppm (pounds per minute). Available in diesel-powered, electric, and dual-mode configurations, these units can be mounted on trailers or integrated into tow tractors. Modern units feature pressure regulation, multi-engine start capabilities, and anti-surge controls to ensure reliable, safe operation across aircraft types.
Key Features
High-pressure compressed air output to support a wide range of aircraft.
Mobile and stationary models available for versatile deployment.
Fuel-efficient and low-emission options for sustainable airport operations.
