An air conditioning arrangement for an aircraft with a plurality of climate zones that may be individually temperature-controlled includes a main branching system having an air supply feed path system with a mixing chamber and a plurality of sub-branching systems branching from the mixing chamber and leading to one of the climate zones in each case. Basic temperature control means are used for controlling the temperature of the air supply in the mixing chamber. Individual temperature-control means are used on the other hand for individually controlling the temperature of the air supply in each of the sub-branching systems as a function of a desired temperature value of the respective climate zone. Basic temperature control of the air supply in the mixing chamber preferably takes place independently of a temperature requirement of the climate zone with associated combined heat and power engine.

Air conditioning arrangement for an aircraft with a plurality of climate zones that may be individually temperature-controlled

A device for temperature control in an aircraft cabin includes a first supply control arrangement and a first pressure control arrangement. The first supply control arrangement includes an air duct and a valve arrangement that controls a supply of heated air delivered to a first temperature area of the aircraft cabin such that a first specified temperature for the first temperature zone is achieved. When the valve arrangement fails, the first pressure control arrangement operates to control a pressure of heated air supplied into the first temperature area such that the first specified temperature for the first temperature zone is achieved.

Device and method for temperature control in an aircraft cabin

A device for mixing fresh air and heating air in a ventilation system of an aircraft includes a fresh air inlet, a heating air supply body for supplying the heating air into the device, and a mixed air outlet for delivering mixed fresh air and heating air from the device. The heating air supply body includes a first portion and a second portion which constitute a flow resistance to the fresh air. The second portion is formed as a closed hollow body with a plurality of heating air supply openings and is connected to the first portion at a downstream end of the first portion, viewed in the flow direction of the heating air. Advantageously, the first portion of the heating air supply body is of streamlined shape.
