System and process for cooling an aircraft zone using an aircraft-external air assembly

摘要

A system for cooling an aircraft zone includes a mixing chamber which is connected to an air-conditioning assembly for making cool air available and/or to a recirculated-air conveying device for supplying recirculated air into the mixing chamber. The system further includes an aircraft-side air-distribution system which includes at least one line connecting the mixing chamber to the aircraft zone to be cooled and also at least one line that is connectable to an aircraft-external air-generating assembly in order to route air made available by the aircraft-external air-generating assembly into the aircraft-side air-distribution system.

1. System for cooling an aircraft zone, with:
a mixing chamber which is connected to an air-conditioning assembly for making cool air available and to a recirculated-air conveying device for supplying recirculated air into the mixing chamber wherein in the mixing chamber the air made available by the air conditioning assembly and recirculated air are mixed, and an aircraft-side air-distribution system which includes at least one line connecting the mixing chamber to the aircraft zone to be cooled and also at least one line that is connectable to an aircraft-external air-generating assembly in order to route air made available by the aircraft-external air-generating assembly into the aircraft-side air-distribution system, characterized in that the system includes a detection device including at least one temperature sensor and at least one pressure sensor for detecting a temperature and pressure in the aircraft-side air-distribution system and/or in the mixing chamber and also a control unit which is set up to receive and evaluate signals made available by the detection device and, when the system is connected to the aircraft-external air-generating assembly, to control the operation of the aircraft-external air-generating assembly in a manner depending on the signals made available by the detection device.
