The paper uses a medium-range passenger aircraft as an example to consider application options of the air conditioning systems (ACS) with the panel and passive heat exchange. It provides a comparative analysis of the specified systems using such indicators as total heat flow, amount of the air supplied, and temperature of the air supplied to the aircraft cabin. For the ACS options, an equation for heat balance of the aircraft pressurized cabin is compiled and solved in the two extreme modes: maximum cooling and maximum heating. The paper studies the issue of feasibility when using the panel heat protection in the domestic passenger aircraft ACS. In addition, it analyzes the use of various types of the heat and sound insulation (HSI) materials. In the same way, an equation for heat balance of the aircraft pressurized cabin is compiled and solved for the HSI of different types. When comparing the computed data for the total HSI mass indicator, the paper determines the optimal material VPP-1 and recommends it for use. The paper provides preliminary computation of the takeoff weight and fuel reserve increment for two types of the ACS and various SI materials.
