Abstract
A cooling system comprising: a closed main refrigerant circuit which, in the direction of the circuit, includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator; and a safety arrangement which completely surrounds the main refrigerant circuit and an auxiliary refrigerant and/or neutralizing agent interspersed, such that in the event of a leak in the main refrigerant circuit, any main refrigerant circulating in the main refrigerant circuit must pass through the auxiliary refrigerant and/or neutralizing agent before it reaches an environment outside the safety arrangement. Also, an aircraft with such a cooling system.

A cooling system, comprising:
- a closed main refrigerant circuit comprising, in a direction of the closed main refrigerant circuit, a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator;
- and
- a safety arrangement that completely surrounds the closed main refrigerant circuit and an auxiliary refrigerant, or a neutralizing agent, or both between the closed main refrigerant circuit and the safety arrangement such that in an event of a leak in the closed main refrigerant circuit, a main refrigerant circulating in the closed main refrigerant circuit must pass through the auxiliary refrigerant, the neutralizing agent, or both before the main refrigerant enters an environment outside the safety arrangement.
