    Abstract: A coalescing tube bundle elbow for a water collector includes an inlet end, an outlet end, and a body section fluidly connecting the inlet and outlet ends. The inlet end can receive a fluid flow in an at least partially gaseous state in an incoming direction. The outlet end can discharge the fluid flow in an at least partially liquid state in an outgoing direction. The body section can condense at least a portion of the fluid flow from a gaseous state into a liquid state. The body section includes channels which are defined by channel walls and which extend along the body section from the inlet end to the outlet end, and has a curved profile such that the outgoing direction of the fluid flow is not parallel to the incoming direction of the fluid flow.

    Abstract: An Environmental Control System (ECS) for an aircraft includes a ram air system having a ram inlet and a ram outlet. The ECS includes a cabin air compressor motor, a diverter valve, and a dedicated outlet. The cabin air compressor motor has a motor inlet passage and a motor outlet passage with the motor inlet passage being coupled to the ram inlet. The diverter valve includes a first diverter inlet, a first diverter outlet, and a second diverter outlet. The first diverter inlet is coupled to the motor outlet passage. The dedicated outlet is connected to the first diverter outlet in a flight mode of operation of the aircraft and the ram outlet is connected to the second diverter outlet in a ground mode of operation of the aircraft.

    Abstract: A pressure vessel includes a first component, a second component, and a bonded lap joint between the first and second components. The bonded lap joint includes a portion of the first component which extends about a circumference of the pressure vessel, a portion of the second component which extends about the circumference of the pressure vessel and partially overlaps the portion of the first component, an adhesive bond connecting the portion of the first component to the portion of the second component and thereby joining the first and second components, and mechanically interlocking structures connecting the portion of the first component to the portion of the second component. The adhesive bond forms a primary retention mechanism. The mechanically interlocking structures are situated at least partially within each of the portion of the first component and the portion of the second component, and form a secondary retention mechanism.
