There is provided an air conditioning system (32) for an aircraft mover (10) motively powered by a driving engine (28). The air conditioning system (32) comprises a supplementary internal-combustion engine (62) having a lower power capacity than the driving engine (28), a hydraulically powerable compressor (38) drivable by the supplementary internal-combustion engine (62) and the driving engine (28), an evaporator (40) and a condenser (42) fed by the hydraulically powerable compressor (38), at least one fan (48) associated with the evaporator (40) and powerable by a first electrical output (70) associated with the driving engine (28) and a second electrical output (72) associated with the supplementary internal-combustion engine (62), and a controller (74) for activating the lower-power supplementary internal-combustion engine (62), under at least idling stop of the driving engine (28). The supplementary internal-combustion engine (62) hydraulically powers the compressor (38) at constant or substantially constant speed. The engines may be diesel engines. The invention further relates to an aircraft mover (10) having such an air conditioning system (32), and also to a method of reducing the fuel consumption of an aircraft mover (10) using such an air conditioning system (32). |
