Abstract:
1. An air infeed device for air-conditioning passenger areas in aircraft, comprising: a central air infeed module for a centrally regulated cabin ventilation system, the central air infeed module including a base member having a C-shaped cross section as viewed in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the air infeed device and also including an essentially concave front side and an essentially convex rear side; and an individual air infeed module for an individually adjustable cabin ventilation system which is a mutually independent system from the centrally regulated cabin ventilation system, the individual air infeed module being fluidically uncoupled from the central air infeed module within the air infeed device, wherein the central air infeed module and the individual air infeed module are connected to form a subassembly that can be handled independently as a collective unit, and wherein the base member of the central air infeed module includes a depression on the convex rear side which extends in the longitudinal direction, the depression receiving the corresponding individual air infeed module.
