Abstract
In a method for operating an aircraft cooling system a cooling medium is guided through a cooling circuit, which is connected to a refrigerating machine and to at least one cooling station associated with a cooling energy consumer, to supply cooling medium cooled by the refrigerating to the cooling station. A temperature of the cooling medium upstream of the cooling station and a temperature of the cooling medium downstream of the cooling station are detected. The mass flow of cooling medium supplied to the cooling station is controlled in dependence on a thermal output of the cooling energy consumer and in dependence on a difference between the temperature of the cooling medium upstream of the cooling station and the temperature of the cooling medium downstream of the cooling station.
