Atmospheric air is most common heat sink used in aircraft air conditioning systems for flight and ground operation; in Mach 3 supersonic transports, any air taken aboard will be too hot to be useful as sink; in selection of sink, consideration should be given to low temperature materials that permit elimination of thermodynamic refrigeration cycle, such as precooled fuel, low temperature fuel, and ammonia; precooled fuel offers many advantages; main disadvantage is requirement for special storage and (or) additional ground equipment.
