Aircraft air refrigeration systems are required due to heat transfer from many external and internal heat sources (like solar radiation and avionics) which increase the cabin air temperature. With the technological developments in high-speed passenger and jet aircraft's, the air refrigeration systems are proving to be most efficient, compact and simple. Various types of aircraft air refrigeration systems used these days are.
Simple air cooling system
Simple air evaporative cooling system
Boot strap air cooling system
Boot strap air evaporative cooling system
Reduced ambient air cooling system
Regenerative air cooling system
COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY AND TURBINE EFFICIENCY.

12. 3.BOOT-STRAP AIR COOLING SYSTEM
• he term Bootstrap as used in Air Cycle Refrigeration
indicates a system in which the pressure of the
working fluid is raised in two levels by using two
compressors, before the working fluid which is air,
expands in the turbine section
The main components of this system are:
• Two heat exchangers (air cooler and after cooler)
• A secondary compressor, which is driven by the
turbine of the cooling system

26. Comparison of Various Air Cooling Systems
used for Aircraft
• Comparison of Various Air Cooling Systems used for
Aircraft are shown in Fig.
• These curves show the dry air rated turbine discharge
temperature (DART) against the Mach number.
• we see that the simple air cooling system gives maximum
cooling effect on the ground surface and decreases as the
speed of aircraft increases.
• .The boot strap system on the other hand, requires the
air plane to be in flight so that the ram air can be used
for cooling in the heat exchangers

27. • For high speed aircrafts, the boot strap evaporative or
regenerative systems are used because they give lower
turbine discharge temperature than the simple cooling
system.

28. Ques1.
An aircraft refrigeration plant has to handle a cabin
load of 30 tonnes. The atmospheric temperature is
17°C. The atmospheric air is compressed to a
pressure of 0.95 bar and temperature of 30° C due
to ram action. This air is then further compressed in
a compressor to 4.75 bar, cooled in a heat
exchanger to 67°C, expanded in a turbine to I bar
pressure and supplied to the cabin. The air leaves
the cabin at a temperature of 27°C. The isentropic
efficiencies of both compressor and turbine are 0.9.
Calculate the mass of air circulated per minute and
the C.O.P. For air, = 1.004 kJ/kg K and 1.4.

32. Ques.2
A boot-strap cooling system of 10 TR capacity is used in an
aeroplane. The ambient air temperature and pressure are 20°C
and 0.85 bar respectively. The pressure of air increases from
0.85 bar to 1 bar due to ramming action of air. "The pressure of
air discharged from the main compressor is 3 bar. The discharge
pressure of air from the auxiliary compressor is 4 bar. The
isentropic efficiency of each of the compressor is 80%, while
that of turbine is 85%. 50% of the enthalpy of air discharged
from the main compressor is removed in the first heat
exchanger and 30% of the enthalpy of air discharged from the
auxiliary compressor is removed in the second heat exchanger
using rammed air. Assuming ramming action to be isentropic,
the required cabin pressure of 0.9 bar and temperature of the
air leaving the cabin not more than 20° C, find : 1. the power
required to operate the system, and 2. the C.O.P. of the system.
Draw the schematic and temperature -entropy diagram of the
system. Take =1.4 and cp =1 kJ/kg K
