Nowadays in aircraft so-called on-board inert gas generation systems (OBIGGS) are used to generate inert gases, to which OBIGGS cooled bleed air of engines or auxiliary power units is fed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an air-cooling device for an OBIGGS system in an aircraft is proposed that comprise a bleed position (1). By way of the bleed position (1), cooling air from an air conditioning unit (4) on board the aircraft can be bled, which cooling air can subsequently be used for cooling supply air (18) for the OBIGGS system. Thus, there is no need for an additionalram-air inlet channel for cooling the supply air. Air resistance and weight are thus reduced, and the stability of the primary structure is enhanced.

On utilise actuellement des systèmes embarqués de production de gaz inerte à bord des aéronefs (OBIGGS) pour la production de gaz inertes. L'air prélevé refroidi des moteurs ou des unités de propulsion auxiliaires est injecté dans ces systèmes OBIGGS. Selon une variante, on décrit un dispositif de refroidissement d'air pour système OBIGGS embarqué qui comprend une position de soutirage (1) d'air depuis une unité de climatisation (4) embarquée, aux fins de refroidissement de l'air (18) pour le système OBIGGS, ce qui permet de se passer de canal d'arrivée d'air dynamique additionnel pour le refroidissement de l'air considéré, et donc de réduire la résistance de l'air et le poids, mais aussi d'améliorer la stabilité de la structure primaire.
