Abstract:
1. A point-of-use air chiller unit for an aircraft galley cart compartment, comprising: a generally flattened rectangular case, comprising two main surfaces having a larger surface area than four remaining surfaces of the case; an air-cooled condenser; a compressor; an evaporator; and an evaporator fan; a first unsealed wall partition within the case that separates the condenser from the compressor; and a second generally sealed wall partition within the case that separates the evaporator from the compressor and condenser; wherein: the condenser, compressor, and evaporator are connected in a standard refrigeration manner; the condenser, compressor, and evaporator are disposed within an interior of the generally flattened rectangular case; wherein: the first unsealed wall partition extends to contact both main surfaces and two parallel surfaces of the case perpendicular to the main surfaces; and the second generally sealed wall partition extends to contact both main surfaces and two parallel surfaces of the case perpendicular to the main surfaces; and wherein: the first unsealed wall partition and the second generally sealed wall partition have a contiguous and continuous arched shape for their entire length; and a plane parallel to the main surfaces passes through the condenser, the compressor, the evaporator, and the evaporator fan.
