Claim Text:
1. A reconfigurable aircraft galley chiller vent system comprising: a first duct in fluid communication with an aircraft galley chiller and configured to receive chill air from the aircraft galley chiller; a first vent in fluid communication with the first duct and configured to provide the chill air to one or more galley food and beverage storage compartments which receive the chill air in parallel with one another, the first vent comprising: wherein when the chilled air outlet assembly of the first vent is configured in the air-through orientation, the vent panel is installed at a first position of the first housing while the closed panel is installed at a second position of the first housing distinct from and adjacent to the first position such that the first vent directs the chill air substantially toward an interior of the one or more galley food and beverage storage compartments at a first angle, wherein when the chilled air outlet assembly of the first vent is configured in the air-over orientation, the vent panel is installed at the second position of the first housing while the closed panel is installed at the first position of the first housing such that the first vent directs the chill air around the one or more galley food and beverage storage compartments at a second angle different from the first angle, wherein the first angle and the second angle are relative to a horizontal plane between the first vent and the one or more galley food and beverage storage compartments, and wherein the closed panel is disposed at a third angle, the third angle being relative to a plane of the vent panel and being the absolute value of a difference between the first angle and the second angle.
