The ASU-600 Series is a line of truck or trailer
mounted continuous flow jet engine starting units,
producing 180-300 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 ACE 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. These components and features combine to
produce the most versatile and cost efficient air start
units on the market today.
DESIGN FEATURES
? “Oil-free dry-screw” rotary compressor Precision cutting of compressor rotors eliminates the need for teflon or other coatings, which can fail due to differential expansion between rotors and casing.
? Integral oil cooler and fan
? Double seals and ventilated intermediate chambers prevent oil contamination of rotors.
? Easy to operate, with engine / compressor instrumentation on control panel.
? Torsional isolation between male compressor rotor and built-in multiplying gearbox.
? Fully Galvanized Frame and powder-coated panels for unprecedented corrosion resistance
? Integrated housing, bolts directly to engine flywheel eliminating alignment problems.
? Automatic throttle roll-back system, to decrease engine speed when full output is not
required, reducing noise and fuel consumption.
? Two-mode operation - Air packs and jet start modes have independently adjustable supply pressures.
? Aircraft safety systems
– designed to protect from overpressure or loss of pressure during starting procedures.
? Safety systems, designed to protect the unit from damage due to high temperature or a loss of oil pressure.
? Normal compressor overhaul at 25,000 operating hours.
? Wide doors allow unhampered access to all components for ease of routine maintenance.
? Outlet air temperature of 3900F (200oC) assures quick starts.
? Two each 3-1/2” I.D. outlets provided
? Properly rated chassis cab or fifth wheel steering trailer
