Abstract: The present disclosure makes use of the fact that passengers have ways of adjusting the temperature in their immediate environment or indicating their level of comfort or discomfort and uses information about the passengers' use of the temperature control capabilities in their immediate environment and/or indications of their level of comfort/discomfort as an input to a controller of an environmental control system (ECS) to automatically adjust the ECS supply air temperature set point.

Abstract: A personal aircraft seat air treatment system may include an air blower, a ventilation output component installed within a passenger compartment, and a treatment component fluidically coupled to the air blower and the ventilation output component. The air blower may be configured to receive cabin air from a cabin air ventilation system installed in an aircraft cabin. The ventilation output component may be configured to provide treated air to a breathing area of a passenger proximate to an aircraft seat installed in the passenger compartment. The treatment component may be fluidically coupled to the air blower and the ventilation output component. The treatment component may be configured to receive the cabin air from the air blower and treat the cabin air to generate the treated air.

Abstract: An aircraft environmental control system comprising a bleed air or compressed ambient air input and a RAM air input, heat exchanger means for receiving bleed air from the bleed air input and RAM air from the RAM air input and using RAM air to cool the bleed air, and means for providing the cooled bleed air to an interior of the aircraft; the system further comprising means for feeding back exhaust air emitted from the interior of the aircraft to combine with the RAM air to further cool the bleed air or compressed ambient air.

Abstract: A personal heating ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) for an aircraft seat includes at least one aircraft seat, a heating/cooling device disposed on the at least one aircraft seat and at least one branch configured to provide at least one flow path from the heating/cooling device. The system also includes at least one sub-branch provided within the at least one aircraft seat. The at least one sub-branch is configured to provide flow from the at least one branch through the at least one aircraft seat. The system also includes means for expelling air from the at least one sub-branch to an interior surface of the at least one aircraft seat.
