Abstract:
A ram air fan inlet assembly for cabin air compressor (CAC) motor cooling flow enhancement includes a gas path defined by a ram air duct and a fan section, a CAC motor cooling return duct having an outlet provided through a wall of the ram air duct, and a centerbody body disposed in the ram air duct. The fan section is disposed immediately downstream and abutting the ram air duct. The ram air duct and fan section share a common axis. The centerbody is disposed about the common axis and configured to reduce of volume of the gas flow path in the ram air duct. The centerbody and the outlet axially overlap.
