  • Patent number: 11873106
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cabin air inlet module (16). The cabin air inlet module (16) comprises a streaming channel body (8). The streaming channel body (8) comprises at least one wall which limits a streaming channel wherein incoming air (5) is supplied to a zone (2) of a cabin (3). The cabin air inlet module (16) comprises an electric heating element (9) which is used for heating the incoming air (5). According to the invention it is proposed that the electric heating element (9) is embodied as a two-dimensional heating element (in particular as a heating paper, a heating web, a heating foil or a heating varnish). The two-dimensional heating element extends along a wall of the streaming channel body (8). The inventive cabin air inlet module (16) is arranged upstream with a small distance (25) from an inlet opening (6) into the zone (2) of the cabin (3). The inventive cabin air inlet module (16) is used for a tempering zones (2) of a cabin (3) of an airplane according to the needs.

  • Publication number: 20190061286
    Abstract: In a method for producing a pipe made of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material, two workpieces of the material are provided. The workpieces are introduced into a tool having a core and two part molds surrounding the core. The workpieces are heated and shaped between the core and the part molds to give a structural part of the pipe. The core is removed from the structural parts, the structural parts being held on the part molds, and joining regions of the structural parts are oriented towards one another. The structural parts are joined to one another in the joining regions to form the pipe. The pipe is released from the part molds, wherein the part molds are moved away from one another after shaping in order to remove the core, and are then moved back together in order to orient the structural parts towards one another.
