Abstract:
1. An air supply device for a system for generating inert gas in an aircraft, comprising: a first bleed position; wherein, by the first bleed position, first air is bleedable from a first air conditioning unit; and wherein the first bled air is supplyable to the system for generating inert gas; a second bleed position; wherein, by the second bleed position, second air is bleedable from the first air conditioning unit; wherein the first bled air has a first temperature; wherein the second bled air has a second temperature; and wherein the second bled air is mixable with the first bled air and, after completion of mixing, is supplyable to the system for generating inert gas; a third bleed position and a fourth bleed position; a first valve; wherein, by the third bleed position, third air is bleedable from a second air conditioning unit; wherein, by the fourth bleed position, fourth air is bleedable from the second air conditioning unit; wherein the third bled air has a third temperature; wherein the fourth bled air has a fourth temperature; wherein the third bled air is mixable with the fourth bled air and, on completion of mixing, is supplyable to the system for generating inert gas; wherein the third bled air is brought together with the first bled air prior to mixing by the first valve; and wherein the fourth bled air is brought together with the second bled air prior to mixing by the first valve.
