2000L COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT DRINKING WATER BOWSER

To prevent water freeze ups during winter periods across airfields this 2000 litre water trailer is fitted with a trace wire heating system as well as a immersion heater to prevent the water from freezing up. As a result of preventing freeze ups the ground handling operations team can continue to efficiently turn around passenger jets for the next flight, reducing the risk of delaying the next commercial flight.

On the 2000L aircraft drinking water bowser there is a Centrifugal Brass bodied pump, that is pedestal mounted and driven by a belt. The water pump is powered by a diesel electric start Yanmar L70 engine. To protect the water pump a In line Y strainer is fitted.

Some of the safety features on this ground support water bowser includes a enclosed engine belt guard and in line pressure relief valve set at 55psi. There is also specialist breakaway coupling fitted to the end of the 3/4″ Brewers delivery hose as well as a 3/4″ aircraft drinking water coupling to protect the aircraft from someone driving the trailer away while the delivery hose is still connected to the aircraft.

This ground handling water bowser is fitted with 30ft of ¾” Brewers hose that is supplied with a spring rewind hose reel. There is also a resettable digital flow meter for information on how much water has been distributed during these ground handling duties.

Other equipment on this water bowser includes a set of step ladders mounted onto a bracket on the water bowser so that the ground handling team can reach the aircraft’s fill point connections. There is also a Amber beacon for airfield visibility of the bowser and 2 x advertisement boards on the side of the trailer. A rear bumper bar will also be fitted to protect the hose reel.
