    摘要: An example system includes a turbine (124) comprising an input port and mechanically coupled to a motor-generator and a compressor (120) and control circuitry (42) configured to determine whether a pressure of a fluid at the input port of the turbine (124) is less than or equal to than a threshold pressure (208). In response to determining that the pressure of the fluid at the input port of the turbine (124) is less than or equal to the threshold pressure (208), the control circuitry (42) is configured to cause the motor-generator to operate in motor mode (210). The motor-generator is configured to be mechanically coupled to the compressor (120), and the motor-generator is configured to provide mechanical energy to drive the compressor (120) when operating in motor mode (210).

    摘要: An air cycle machine includes a turbine section, a compressor section, an axial flux magnetic gear system electromechanically coupling the turbine section to the compressor section, and a stabilization system for at least one shaft of the air cycle machine. The axial flux magnetic gear system includes a stator (208), two rotors (204, 206), a winding system (214), and a control module (216). Each rotor interacts with the stator such that the rotor rotates when the axial flux magnetic gear system is exposed to an electrical current. The winding system stabilizes the position of the rotors along their rotational axes. The control module is configured to supply the electrical current to at least one of the winding system, the stator, and the rotors to drive rotation of the rotors. The stabilization system stabilizes the position of the at least one shaft of the air cycle machine along the shaft's rotational axis.

    摘要: 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 (14) and a fan section (18), a CAC motor cooling return duct (28) having an outlet (32) provided through a wall of the ram air duct, and a centerbody (34) 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.
