Cooling Systems

Abu Dhabi Airport

Between March and August 2016 PS Automation produced 166 smart quarter-turn actuator series PS-AMS PSQ for the airport Abu Dhabi. The actuators control mobile airconditioning systems in airplanes.

Application: 

Control of damper valves in mobile airconditioning systems.

Requirement:

In Abu Dhabi temperatures reach more than +40 C° in summer. After the landing of an airplane at the airport in Abu Dhabi the passenger cabins must be cooled down artificially due to the extreme desert heat.

Solution: 

After an airplane has landed the mobile airconditiong systems are connected to the plane to keep it cool inside. The actuators PS-AMS PSQ control the valve and hence the flow of cool air.
