Patent ID: 7802732

Claim:
A device for regulating the temperature of individual sections of the interior of an aircraft comprising: a controlled mixer valve for the mixing of engine bleed air with air cooler than the engine bleed air in order to obtain pre-tempered mixed air flowing out of the mixer valve; a distribution line connected to the outlet of the mixer valve and connected with the individual sections by respective supply lines; individual heating units assigned to respective individual sections and adapted to heat the pre-tempered mixed air flowing in the respective supply lines; sensors assigned to the individual sections for sensing respective actual temperatures in the individual sections; transmitters assigned to the individual sections for identifying respective nominal temperatures in the individual sections; a regulator unit operatively connected to the heating units, the sensors, the transmitters, and the mixer valve, and which controls the mixer valve dependent upon the respective nominal temperatures and the respective actual temperatures of the individual sections such that the pre-tempered mixed air is of a temperature which corresponds to the lowest of the nominal temperatures of all of the individual sections, the regulator unit also controlling each of the heating units assigned to other individual sections with higher respective nominal temperatures according to the difference between the identified nominal temperature and the sensed actual temperature of the respective individual section.
