Method and device for air-conditioning aircraft cabins
A method and a device for air-conditioning aircraft cabins proposes that the impulse of an air jet ( 26 ) injected into the cabin is altered, dependent upon a temperature measured.
1 . (canceled)
2 . Method in accordance with claim 11 , characterised in that the temperature of the air jet ( 26 ) is measured.
3 . Method in accordance with claim 11 , characterised in that the air jet ( 26 ) is directed into the cabin ( 10 ) from the ceiling area ( 14 ).
4 . Method in accordance with claim 11 , characterised in that, as the temperature of the air jet ( 26 ) rises, its angle (α) with the vertical (V) is made smaller.
5 . Method in accordance with claim 11 , characterised in that, as the temperature of the air jet ( 26 ) rises, its impulse is increased.
6 . (canceled)
7 . Device in accordance with claim 12 , characterised in that the means ( 20 ) for altering the direction and/or the impulse of the air jet ( 26 ) have a component ( 28 ) with a temperature-dependent form.
8 . Device in accordance with claim 7 , characterised in that the component ( 28 ) includes a shape memory alloy.
9 . Device in accordance with claim 7 , characterised in that the component ( 28 ) has a bimetallic element.
10 . Device in accordance with claim 12 , characterised in that the means ( 28 ) for measuring the temperature are positioned in such a way that they measure the temperature of the air jet ( 26 ).
11 . Method for air-conditioning of aircraft cabins, wherein, by means of at least one blower, at least one air jet ( 26 ) is directed into the cabin ( 10 ), wherein the direction and the impulse of the air jet are altered dependent upon the measured air jet temperature.
12 . Device for air-conditioning aircraft cabins ( 10 ) with a means ( 20 , 22 ) for generating and directing at least one air jet ( 26 ), a means ( 28 ) for detecting the air jet temperature and a means ( 20 ) to alter the direction and the impulse of the air jet ( 26 ) dependent upon the air jet temperature measured.
