Airplane Cabin Environment Management

摘要

A system has a power source connected to power access points and at least one environmental control system. A threshold compare device is effective to compare the proportional load on the environmental control systems to a preset threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, unused power access points are disabled. This prevents such access points from placing additional loads on the environmental control systems. Conversely, when the proportional load on the environmental control systems drops below a preset threshold, power can be restored to the disabled power access points. A master control unit can monitor the load on the environmental control systems and either or both the environmental conditions in environment zones or the power loading of the power access points and determine whether to disable unused power outlets.

1. A system, comprising:
a power source; a plurality of power access points and at least one environmental control system both connected to said power source; a threshold compare device effective to compare a proportional load on said environmental control system to a preset threshold and create a disable signal if said proportional load exceeds said preset threshold; and a sub-system effective to disable ones of said plurality of power access points not in use in response to said disable signal.
