Case Study: Shenling PCA Solutions Support Low-Carbon Operations at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport

Enhancing Airport Sustainability with Energy-Efficient PCA Solutions

Greener Aircraft Ground Operations

As airports pursue lower-carbon operations, reducing aircraft APU use during ground handling is an important opportunity to cut fuel consumption, emissions, and noise.

At T2 of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, Shenling Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) Units provide conditioned air directly to aircraft at the gate, helping reduce the need to operate onboard APUs while aircraft are parked.

Fast, Efficient Cooling

Designed for demanding airport operations, Shenling PCA Units deliver rapid cooling to help establish a comfortable cabin environment during aircraft turnaround and boarding.

With efficient electrical operation and intelligent control, the system adjusts cooling output according to demand, supporting lower energy consumption and more efficient ground operations.

Supporting Airport Decarbonization

By replacing fuel-powered APU operation with ground-based electrical air conditioning, PCA technology can help airports:

1. Reduce aircraft fuel consumption during ground operations
2. Lower CO₂ and other emissions
3. Reduce aircraft and apron noise
4. Minimize APU operating hours and maintenance

The deployment of Shenling PCA Units at T2 of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport demonstrates how practical electrification solutions can contribute to airport sustainability goals.
