POWERVAMP COOLSPOOL 17-28V

Coolspool 17 Advanced portable mini GPU designed as a lightweight emergency starting GPU for piston aircraft and light/medium turbine helicopters. The Coolspool 17 has power, performance and features that far exceed any other comparable mini GPU. With a nominal voltage of 2628 volts (for Eclipse-type aircraft) or 2830 volts DC (for aircraft with a higher upper voltage limit typically for single turbine helicopters), spool-up performance of this 17 amp/hr pack is more than 12% faster than a similar capacity 24V unit, with minimum weight penalty. Faster spool-ups mean cooler starts, aiding engine life.

The Coolspool 17 has its own built-in mini charger. Connecting a 110/220V power cord to the unit will automatically activate the integral 3-stage charger. A 3-colour LED indicates charging status and a solid state digital voltmeter, with push-to-view button and timed auto shutdown, accurately displays output voltage.

The 28 volt (nominal) 29 amp/hr Powervamp Coolspool 29 portable GPU was developed for larger turbine aircraft and helicopters where portability requirements limit weight and size, but the need to maintain voltage above minimum FADEC limits during the start cycle is critical. This requirement demands that the GPU voltage is at the top of the FADEC upper limit before starter When compared to a 24 volt GPU of the same capacity, the Coolspool 29 typically delivers a stunning 30% increase in performance (watts) for the same amperage. With an off-charge voltage of 30 volts, the GPU delivers faster spool-ups, cooler starts and a faster, more positive systems response, which benefits turbine life and Many modern voltage-critical aircraft require the higher standing voltage of the Coolspool 29 to reduce the effect of heavy inrush currents during starting and the momentary voltage collapse below tight FADEC limits.

The Coolspool range enables the powering of many aircraft systems that previously could only be activated with the generator on line. The pre-flighting and cycling of systems where aircraft are configured for rapid deployment with role equipment already on line, are examples where the higher Coolspool voltage can prevent the appearance of undesirable/spurious EFIS messages on start-up. The Coolspool 29 has a built-in mini charger. Connecting any 110/220 volt power cord into the GPU will automatically activate the integral 3-stage charger. A 3-colour LED indicates charging status and a solid-state digital voltmeter, with push-to-view button and timed auto shutdown, accurately displays voltage.
