Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement of pipeline connections of an aircraft and to a method for regulating a process air temperature of pipeline connections of an aircraft.
  • ambient air or air-conditioned air having a temperature approximately below the 0° C. boundary is frequently used in aircraft air conditioners. Because of this cold temperature below the freezing point and the simultaneous presence of free water and/or ambient humidity, icing of the downstream pipelines and the installed devices or valve may occur, if they come into contact with the cold air, which contains water. This may interfere with the function of check valves, cause damage to valves, and cause the breakdown of corresponding devices or possibly damage to pipelines, for example. It has been shown that the icing is especially critical in a temperature range from approximately ⁇ 8° C. to 0° C., because crystals may frequently form due to the relatively high proportion of free water.
  • the temperature of the air conditioner outlet air is kept continuously above the 0° C. limit. Icing may be prevented in this way, so that no ice or ice particles may form in the air conditioner outlet pipeline and/or devices installed therein.
  • reduced cooling capacity occurs.
  • the total cooling capacity of the air conditioner is significantly reduced by the cyclic heating of the air-conditioning outlet temperature or permanently maintaining the temperature at significantly above 0° C. Sufficient cooling capacity may thus no longer be applied upon mixing with the hot bleed air in the mixing chamber, so that the cabin temperature of the aircraft cabin increases, which reduces the cabin comfort.
  • the critical range from approximately ⁇ 8° C. to 0° C. may be left out and/or passed rapidly by special regulation of the air conditioner outlet temperature.
  • the air conditioners deliver hot air above approximately 0° C. and cold air below approximately ⁇ 8° C. cyclically, which is mixed later in a mixing chamber.

  • These air conditioners which do not drive and/or pass rapidly through the critical area from approximately ⁇ 8° C. to 0° C. have a smaller risk of ice formation and/or ice particle formation in the air conditioner outlet pipelines and/or the devices installed therein.
  • the at least one object is achieved by an arrangement for deicing pipeline connections of an aircraft and by a method for regulating a process air temperature of process air transported using pipeline connections of an aircraft having the features as subsequently described and claimed.
  • an arrangement for deicing pipeline connections of an aircraft comprises all fresh air outlets of an air conditioner, a turbine or a heat exchanger.
  • the construction of the air conditioner may also comprise the functions of multiple turbines and heat exchangers.

  • the construction of the air conditioner may also comprises the functions of multiple turbines and heat exchangers, according to which the process air is provided at the output side to a first and a second turbine and then fed under pressure to respectively a first and a second pipeline connected downstream from each turbine.
  • the method is characterized in that in a step a), firstly a first hot air source is supplied hot fresh air from the bleed air system of the aircraft, at the outlet, pressurized reduced-temperature fresh air is provided, which is fed to a fourth pipeline connected at the outlet of the first hot air source and transported through the pipeline.
  • a step B the reduced-temperature fresh air is conducted into a fifth pipeline attached at the pipe end of the fourth pipeline and into a sixth pipeline.
  • the transport of the reduced-temperature fresh air is then continued in a step C using a fresh air component of reduced-temperature fresh air branched off from each of the fifth and the sixth pipelines through these two pipelines.
  • a step D the process air leaves the fifth and the sixth pipelines valve-regulated and is alternately fed into the first or the second pipeline.

Because of the constant air temperature in the third pipeline, in the case in which the third pipeline provides air for cabin temperature control, the air temperature may continuously be kept constant, so that temperature oscillations in a cabin area of the aircraft may be kept small.
  • the air conditioner outlet pipeline and/or the third pipeline and the installed units following the air flow such as an air conditioner check valve remain free of ice and/or ice particles.
