Abstract: A system for cooling items of freight on board an aircraft includes a refrigerating device and also a cooling station to which cooling energy generated by the refrigerating device is supplied by a refrigerant medium. The cooling station is capable of being connected to a freight compartment of the aircraft or to a freight container on board the aircraft, in order to lead the cooling energy supplied to the cooling station away into the freight compartment or into the freight container. A freight container for receiving items of freight designated for transportation on board an aircraft is capable of being connected to a cooling station of a system for cooling items of freight on board an aircraft, so that the cooling energy supplied to the cooling station is capable of being led away into the freight container.

Abstract: A system (10, 10?) for cooling items of freight on board an aircraft includes a refrigerating device and also a cooling station (14, 14?) to which cooling energy generated by the refrigerating device is supplied by means of a refrigerant medium. The cooling station (14, 14?) is capable of being connected to a freight compartment (24) of the aircraft or to a freight container (26?) on board the aircraft, in order to lead the cooling energy supplied to the cooling station (14, 14?) away into the freight compartment (24) or into the freight container (26?). A freight container (26?) for receiving items of freight designated for transportation on board an aircraft is capable of being connected to a cooling station (14?) of a system (10?) for cooling items of freight on board an aircraft, so that the cooling energy supplied to the cooling station (14?) is capable of being led away into the freight container (26?).
