AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WITH HYBRID OPERATION FOR AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

A system (32) for air conditioning an aircraft cabin comprises at least one cooling circuit (40, 42), at least one compressed-air line (33) and at least one compressor (36) for compressing air. The cooling circuit (40, 42) is connected to the compressor (36) by way of the compressed-air line (33), wherein the compressor (36) is drivable independently of bleed air. This makes it possible to tap engine bleed air at a lower pressure than usual, because an arising difference from a required operating pressure can be compensated for by the compressor (36). The air conditioning system (32) can thus be operated by means of a hybrid energy supply.
