摘要

Pre-conditioned air systems (PC A) represent the art of air-conditioning parked aircraft by a ground-based system, bringing outside filtered, cooled or heated air into the plane. The present report mainly addresses central PCA systems. A description of special requirements, calculation of the overall cooling demand profile, and an explanation on the chilled water (brine) system design are given hereinafter for the central PCA system installed at the New Athens International Airport.
