    Abstract: A vapor cycle liquid cooling system for an aircraft includes a liquid vapor cycle system, an air handling unit, and a liquid loop in thermal communication with the liquid vapor cycle system and the air handling unit. The liquid vapor cycle system includes a cooling liquid outlet configured to deliver a cooling liquid in the liquid loop and a heating liquid outlet configured to deliver a heating liquid in the liquid loop. The vapor cycle liquid cooling system is configured to deliver the cooling liquid to the air handling unit and is configured to modulate a flow of the heating liquid to the air handling unit.

    Abstract: Fuel tank inerting systems for aircraft are described. The systems include a fuel tank, a first reactant source fluidly connected to the fuel tank, a second reactant source, a catalytic reactor arranged to receive a first reactant from the first source and a second reactant from the second source to generate an inert gas that is supplied to the fuel tank to fill a ullage space of the fuel tank, a heat exchanger arranged between the catalytic reactor and the fuel tank and configured to at least one of cool and condense an output from the catalytic reactor to separate out an inert gas and a byproduct, a reheater arranged between the catalytic reactor and the heat exchanger, and a recirculation loop configured to extract air from downstream of the heat exchanger, pass the extracted air through the reheater, and inject reheated air upstream of the catalytic reactor.

    Abstract: Cabin outflow temperature control systems and methods for use on aircraft are described. The systems include an aircraft cabin, a heat load source, a heat exchanger configured to receive cabin outflow air from the aircraft cabin and heat load discharge air, the heat exchanger configured to enable thermal transfer from the heat load discharge air to the cabin outflow air to generate high temperature cabin outflow air and low temperature discharge air as outputs from the heat exchanger, and one or more downstream operation systems configured to receive the high temperature cabin outflow air and perform a downstream operation using said high temperature cabin outflow air.
