Air Start Units

Air Start Units (ASU) play a vital role in starting aircraft engines equipped with a pneumatic starter, by providing the necessary quantity of compressed air through the turbines to start them spinning.

ASU-600 (270-300 LB/MIN)

The ASU-600 Series is a line of truck or trailer mounted continuous flow jet engine starting units, producing 200-300 ppm of airflow at up to 40 psig pressure.

Major components include an air-cooled rotary screw compressor, the latest emissions-compliant diesel engine, and the proven TLD air regulating system. Standard features include dual mode operation, automatic throttle roll-back and an easy access canopy mounted on a rugged, galvanized steel chassis.

 

ASU-600 (150-180 LB/MIN)

The ASU-600 are truck or trailer mounted continuous flow jet engine starting units producing 150 & 180 PPM and up to 40 psig start air pressure to meet the needs of most regional jets and narrow body aircraft.

Basic components include an air-cooled rotary screw compressor, diesel engine, and the TLD air regulating system. Standard features include dual mode operation, automatic throttle rollback and an easy access canopy.
