The invention relates to a method and a device (10) for air-conditioning at least one room (38) with an air mixture having a lowered oxygen partial pressure in comparison with ambient air in an overall pressure substantially corresponding to an ambient air pressure. According to the inventive method, at least part of the oxygen (O2) contained in the ambient air is chemically reduced to a reaction product, preferably the reaction product is separated and the thus treated low-oxygen air mixture is fed as inlet air to the room to be air-conditioned. A core element of the inventive device is an O2 reductor (16) for reducing at least part of the oxygen contained in the ambient air into a reaction product. The O2 reductor (16) can preferably be a fuel cell, a combustion engine, a turbine or a combustion chamber. |
