3. System Description
The air chiller unit supplies cold air to keep the contents of the trolleys and the trolley stowage compartments cold.
The cold air is supplied to the trolleys through the insulated ducts which are installed in the upper lining of the trolley stowage compartment. The air from the trolley stowage compartment goes back to the air chiller unit through the ducts installed in the compartment sidewall. The cold air goes through the evaporator and then back to the galley in a closed cycle.
The air for the chiller condenser goes through a filter installed in front of the unit. The exhaust-air from the chiller condenser is released through a duct into the exhaust-air system. The drain water of the air chiller unit drains into the aircraft bilge-drainage system or the waste water system of the galley.
