Abstract
A galley cooler is disclosed herein. The galley cooler includes a cooling system and an atomizer system. The cooling system includes a hot side and a cold side. The hot side includes a hot side inlet. The cold side is configured to, in response to cooling internal galley air entering the cooling system, condense moist air into liquid water on the cold side thereby forming condensate. The atomizer system is configured to, responsive to receiving the condensate, atomize the condensate into an atomized mist that is projected into the ambient air.

A galley cooler, comprising:
- a cooling system, the cooling system comprising:
- a hot side, wherein the hot side comprises a hot-side inlet;
- and
- a cold side configured to, in response to cooling internal galley air entering the cooling system, condense moist air into liquid water on the cold side thereby forming condensate liquid;
- and
- an atomization system configured to, responsive to receiving the condensate liquid, atomize the condensate liquid into an atomized mist that is projected into ambient air.
An aircraft, comprising:
- a galley;
- a cooling system configured within the galley, the cooling system comprising:
- a hot side, wherein the hot side comprises a hot-side inlet;
- and
- a cold side configured to, in response to cooling internal galley air entering the cooling system, condense moist air into liquid water on the cold side thereby forming condensate liquid;
- and
- an atomization system configured to, responsive to receiving the condensate liquid, atomize the condensate liquid into an atomized mist that is projected into ambient air.
A system, comprising:
- a cooling system, the cooling system comprising:
- a hot side, wherein the hot side comprises a hot-side inlet;
- and
- a cold side configured to, in response to cooling internal galley air entering the cooling system, condense moist air into liquid water on the cold side thereby forming condensate liquid;
- and
- an atomization system configured to, responsive to receiving the condensate liquid, atomize the condensate liquid into an atomized mist that is projected into ambient air.
