  • Patent number: 8137169
    Abstract: The present application describes an arrangement and a method for utilizing the heat of waste air for heating the bilge area of aircraft, wherein the bilge area is connected to a heat transfer unit via a first air supply pipe, through which a bilge air flow drawn in from the bilge area flows into the heat transfer unit, wherein the heat transfer unit comprises a second air supply pipe, through which a waste air heat flow to be cooled that is created at another location in the aircraft flows into the heat transfer unit in order to heat the drawn-in bilge air flow, wherein the heat transfer unit comprises a first air discharge pipe, through which the cooled waste air heat flow is discharged, and a second air discharge pipe with a bilge inlet section, and wherein at least a portion of the heated bilge flow is returned to the bilge area via the air discharge pipe and the bilge inlet section.

  • Patent number: 7356438
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a registering device for registering a location along a measuring line, at which location a temperature change takes place. In an advantageous way, according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, by means of the FMCW method a location on the measuring line is determined, at which location a temperature increase exceeds a predefined threshold value. The location is determined on the basis of a signal which is registered by the measuring line in response to a fed-in frequency modulated signal from evaluation electronics. Advantageously, in this way a simple and lightweight overheating warning system is provided, for example for hot-air supply pipes in aircraft.
