Patent ID: 8393165

Claim:
Method for servicing at least a part of a liquid cooling system ( 1 ) of an aircraft or a component ( 6 , 12 ) of the liquid cooling system ( 1 ), comprising: setting up an information transfer between a liquid cooling service device ( 50 ) and a liquid cooling control device ( 10 ) or a component ( 6 ) of the liquid cooling system ( 1 ) that is to be serviced, in order to exchange at least one instruction between the liquid cooling service device ( 50 ) and the liquid cooling control device ( 10 ) or the component ( 6 ) to be serviced; and sending a first instruction from the liquid cooling service device ( 50 ) to the liquid cooling control device ( 10 ) or to the component ( 6 ) to be serviced, through which instruction the liquid cooling control device ( 10 ) or the component ( 6 ) are switched to a service state; the method further comprising at least one of the following steps: connecting, by means of a reservoir service line ( 52 ), the liquid cooling service device ( 50 ) to a coolant reservoir ( 8 ) of the liquid cooling system ( 1 ), in which liquid coolant is separated by a diaphragm ( 96 ) from a compressible fluid, in order to supply compressible fluid to the coolant reservoir ( 8 ) or in order to discharge compressible fluid from the coolant reservoir ( 8 ); connecting the liquid cooling service device ( 50 ) to a cooling circuit or to the component ( 6 ) of the liquid cooling system ( 1 ) that is to be serviced, by means of at least one cooling-circuit service line ( 54 , 56 , 58 , 62 , 64 , 66 ), in order to supply coolant to the cooling circuit or to the component ( 6 ) of the liquid cooling system ( 1 ) that is to be serviced, or in order to discharge coolant from the cooling circuit or from the component ( 6 ) of the liquid cooling system ( 1 ) that is to be serviced.
