ASU - Air Start - TLD 600-270 YOM 2007

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.

“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 – highly maneuverable in congested airport environments.
