Abstract
A chiller galley cart includes a plurality of walls defining an interior cavity, a supply valve defined in one wall of the plurality of walls, and a return valve defined in one wall of the plurality of walls. The supply valve and the return valve are configured to couple to a chiller positioned in the interior cavity to provide cooled airflow from the chiller galley cart. A method for cooling a demand galley cart positioned in a cart compartment of a galley includes positioning a chiller galley cart in the cart compartment having a chiller positioned in the interior cavity coupled to the supply valve and the return valve and coupling the supply valve to a supply port of the galley and coupling the return valve to a return port of the galley.
