Abstract: An aircraft includes a cabin wall defining a cabin and a convertible monument in the cabin adjacent the cabin wall. The convertible monument has a plurality of monument walls defining sides, a front and a rear of the monument surrounding a chamber defined by the monument walls. The convertible monument has a closet component positioned in the chamber for supporting non-perishable items in the chamber. The chamber has a convertible area convertible between a cooling compartment and an uncooled compartment. A chiller is positioned in the chamber proximate the convertible area. The chiller is configured to supply cool air to the cooling compartment when operated for cooling perishable items stowed in the cooling compartment. The convertible area is used as an uncooled compartment for stowing non-perishable items when the chiller is inactive.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a cooling compartment and an evaporative chiller configured to cool the cooling compartment. The evaporative chiller includes a compressor, an evaporator having airflow to the cooling compartment, and a condenser. The condenser has an exhaust airflow to cool the condenser. The evaporative chiller has a condensate removal system removing condensate produced by the evaporator using the exhaust airflow of the condenser to discharge the condensate.
