Chiller galley cart, galley, and method for cooling

A galley comprising:

• a cart compartment configured to store a plurality of galley carts;
• a supply duct configured to be in flow communication with the plurality of galley carts;
• a return duct configured to be in flow communication with the plurality of galley carts;
• a chiller supply port in flow communication with the supply duct, the chiller supply port configured to couple to a supply valve of a chiller galley cart of the plurality of galley carts to channel cooled air from a chiller positioned in the chiller galley cart into the supply duct;
• and
• a chiller return port in flow communication with the return duct, the chiller return port configured to couple to a return valve of the chiller galley cart to channel return air from the return duct into the chiller positioned in the chiller galley cart.

A method for cooling at least one demand galley cart positioned in a cart compartment of a galley, the galley including a supply duct, a return duct, a supply port in flow communication with the supply duct, and a return port in flow communication with the return duct, the method comprising:

• positioning a chiller galley cart in the cart compartment, the chiller galley cart including a plurality of walls defining an interior cavity, a supply valve defined in one wall of the plurality of walls, a return valve defined in one wall of the plurality of walls, and a chiller positioned in the interior cavity, the chiller being coupled to the supply valve and the return valve;
• coupling the supply valve of the chiller galley cart to the supply port to provide cooled airflow from the chiller to the supply duct;
• and
• coupling the return valve of the chiller galley cart to the return port to provide return air from the return duct to the chiller.
