Abstract: A device for determining a temperature in a passenger compartment of a vehicle comprising a sensor unit for detecting infra-red radiation and a temperature determining unit. The temperature determining unit may be configured so as, in dependence upon the measurement data provided by the sensor unit, to determine a surface temperature of a predetermined object located in the vehicle passenger compartment and, from the determined surface temperature of the object using a first functional relationship, to determine an air temperature in the vehicle passenger compartment. The temperature determining unit may be configured as an alternative or in addition thereto so as, in dependence upon the measurement data provided by the sensor unit, to determine a surface temperature for at least one passenger compartment occupant, and from the determined surface temperature using a second functional relationship to determine a measurement for the level of personal comfort.

Abstract: A system for air conditioning at least one partial region of an aircraft includes an air providing device for providing air to be supplied to a region of the aircraft to be ventilated at a desired temperature and pressure. A supply air duct is connected at a first end to the air providing device. A second end of the supply air duct is connected to an air inlet which opens near the floor into the aircraft region to be ventilated. A control device is set up to ensure that the air provided by the air providing device enters the aircraft region to be ventilated via the air inlet at such a speed that the air is distributed near the floor in the aircraft region to be ventilated and rises at heat sources present in the aircraft region to be ventilated.

Abstract: An air guiding element for an aircraft air-conditioning system includes a distributing pipe having an air inlet opening arranged in the region of an end face of the distributing pipe and an air discharge opening arranged in the region of a generated surface of the distributing pipe. The air guiding element further comprises a flow diverting element having a first section connected to the air discharge opening of the distributing pipe and a second section arranged downstream of the first section relative to the direction of the air flow through the air guiding element. The second section is configured to deflect the air as it flows through the second section at an angle of approximately 45 to 135° relative to the direction of the air flow through the first section, and a diffuser which is arranged downstream of the second section.

Abstract: An air guiding element (10) for an aircraft air conditioning system comprises a housing base body (12), in which an air inlet opening (14) and an air outlet opening (16) are constructed. A first flow control element (28) is arranged in the housing base body (12), relative to the direction of the air flow through the air guiding element (10), upstream of the air outlet opening (16). The first flow control element (28) comprises a plurality of air guiding channels (30) which are surrounded by a noise-absorbing material (32).

Abstract: An air guide element (10) for an aircraft air conditioning system comprises a housing (12), which has an air inlet opening (14) and an air outlet opening (16). The air inlet opening (14) and the air outlet opening (16) are disposed in such a way and the housing (12) is shaped in such a way that air that is fed to the air guide element (10) through the air inlet opening (14), as it flows through the air guide element (10), is deflected at an angle of ca. 45° to 135° relative to the direction of the air flow through the air inlet opening (14). A cross-sectional area of flow of the housing (12) that is disposed at right angles to the direction of the air flow through the air outlet opening (16) is subdivided into at least two regions (18a, 18b, 18c).

Abstract: An air outlet has at least one air supply line and at least one baffle plate, wherein the opening cross section of the air supply line is arranged in a plane running parallel to the baffle plate, the baffle plate has a circumferential contour, and is spaced apart from the air supply line, and the opening cross section of one end of the air supply line is directed toward the baffle plate. Such air outlets are particularly suited for small-volume rest rooms, such as in a vehicle, which require a sufficiently high ventilation quality at the lowest possible draught.
