Abstract
An autonomous air conditioning system for an aircraft includes a compressor compressing ambient air and supplying compressed air, a first portion of the compressed air being injected into a cabin of the aircraft so as to condition the cabin air in terms of pressure and of temperature. The autonomous system further includes an electric motor providing mechanical energy to the compressor. The system includes a fuel cells stack supplied with air by a second portion of the compressed air supplied by the compressor and supplying electrical energy, the electric motor being electrically powered with electrical energy supplied by the fuel cells stack. Thus, the cabin air conditioning is performed autonomously, avoiding the need to modify a pre-existing electrical network of the aircraft.
