Tronair, Inc., a portfolio company of Golden Gate Capital is proud to announce the release of the newest diesel ground power unit, its latest Tier 4 Final emissions compliant diesel Ground Power Unit. This GPU is designed to serve as a 28.5 volt DC power source for parked aircraft, providing up to 600 amps continuous for aircraft servicing and 2,000 amps peak for starting.
This Tronair GPU requires no diesel particulate filter or DEF fluid, instead using a DOC oxidation catalyst, which reduces maintenance interval requirements and improves fuel economy. The Doosan diesel engine has electronic controls for more precise control over engine performance. The innovative new digital controller and display system leads to simple operating procedures while also providing the necessary information for troubleshooting and diagnostics.
Peter Heydinger, Principal Engineer leading the design and development of the GPU says: “The design of this unit is centered on simplistic functionality and consistent reliability. The components used on the GPU are used in numerous applications worldwide guaranteeing longevity and low maintenance costs.”
Tronair has been a leading ground support equipment manufacturer since 1971. Extensive engineering capabilities and customer collaboration drive innovative solutions that support safe and efficient aircraft ground operations and maintenance. Designed and manufactured in the United States, Tronair’s GPU product line is backed by factory direct service and a worldwide support network.
