Abstract
A flatpack air chiller device is disclosed. In embodiments, the air chiller device includes a primary chiller or pre-chiller subsystem and a secondary or main chiller subsystem within a housing. The pre-chiller subsystem receives and chills ambient air via cold-side contact with a primary thermoelectric device and directs the pre-chilled ambient airstream to the hot side of a secondary thermoelectric device. The secondary or main chiller subsystem is connected to a recirculating air stream, e.g., circulating through the interior airspaces, compartments, or bays of a galley structure. The pre-chilled ambient airstream absorbs heat from the secondary hot side to progressively chill the recirculating air stream, which is in contact with the cold side of the secondary thermoelectric device before recirculation back into the galley structure interior.
