Pre-Conditioned Air units

Fixed PCA units

LDX
Lebrun Direct eXpansion Pre-Conditioned Air units
LEBRUN LDX Point-Of-Use ground or bridge mounted Pre-Conditioned Air units were specifically developed to meet the
requirements of airports in taking over the functions of the aircraft APU while the aircraft is parked at the gate. This alternative
drastically reduces CO2/NOx emissions and noise level while leading to major savings in fuel and on the maintenance cost
of the on-board APU. These units will automatically maintain the appropriate temperature inside the cockpit, the cabin and
the electronic compartment of any parked aircraft during pre-flight servicing, loading and maintenance (AIRBUS, BOEING,
EMBRAER, FALCON).
LEBRUN LDX PCA units are designed for ground or bridge mounting, parking areas or for hangar applications
(maintenance).
LEBRUN LDX PCA units are designed for existing, refurbished, extended or new terminals.
Main advantages of LEBRUN LDX PCA units are:
High performances: refrigeration capacity, energy efficiency, low noise level.
Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
High Reliability.
Low maintenance, easy access to all components.
Easy installation, commissioning and operation.
LEBRUN commits to the highest performances (verified in test room at Customer site conditions), cabin
temperature achievement, pressure and temperature losses in the hoses, free online assistance.
Key Words: Performance, Efficiency (COP), Reliability, Low maintenance, Compliance with latest requirements
of aircraft (AIRBUS, BOEING, EMBRAER, FALCON).
Purpose: From narrow body to jumbo aircraft (A380 ready), ground or bridge mounted.
