SAHCO procured three units of Air Conditioning Units to provide Airlines with air conditioning to the aircraft cabin while the aircraft is on ground.

The firm said two of the ACUs were manufactured to produce 50 pounds of preconditioned air per second for wide body aircrafts and the other is to produce 15 pounds of preconditioned air per second for narrow body aircraft.

Manager, Corporate Communications, Vanessa Uansohia said, “The ACUs are built to be environmentally friendly producing less or no carbon monoxide to the atmosphere because they are fitted with tier 4 Engines which is the latest technology in compliance with the strictest Emission of Particulate Matter (EPA) emission requirement for off-highway diesel engines.”
