Abstract:
A process for the humidification of air in an aircraft cabin (4), comprising ejecting water vapor into a heating/air conditioning circuit of the cabin (4) connected to a primary circuit of warm air, said process comprising taking a secondary warm air flow from the primary warm air circuit, introducing this secondary warm air flow into a boiler (6) enclosing an air/water heat exchanger (17) and at least partially filled with water, so as to form in said boiler a flow of water vapor as a function of said secondary warm air flow, mixing at the outlet of the boiler (6) the flow of water vapor and the flow of secondary warm air, so as to obtain a secondary warm air flow loaded with water vapor, and injecting said secondary warm air flow loaded with water vapor into the heating/air conditioning circuit of the air in the cabin (4).
