    Abstract: A cabin air compressor assembly that include a cabin air compressor disposed at a compressor inlet and a cabin air compressor motor operably connected to the cabin air compressor. At least one cooling flow inlet is configured to direct a cooling flow through various pathways in the cabin air compressor assembly, including across the cabin air compressor motor. A blower is configured to boost the cooling flow across the cabin air compressor motor, thereby increasing cooling flow provided to the air compressor motor. A static seal plate is downstream of the blower and guides the boosted cooling flow toward a cooling flow exit. In addition, the static seal plate isolates boosted cooling flow from a moving rotor of the cabin air compressor, and also forms part of a containment structure that contains fragments and breakage that may come from the cabin air compressor rotor.

    Abstract: An aspect includes a compressor diffuser and shroud for a motor driven compressor assembly. The motor driven compressor assembly includes a first stage compressor and a second stage compressor. The compressor diffuser and shroud of the first stage compressor includes a diffuser portion, a compressor inlet portion, and a shroud portion. The diffuser portion includes a diffuser portion outer lip having a first sealing lip outer diameter to provide a first sealing interface to a first stage compressor housing. The compressor inlet portion includes an inlet portion outer lip having a second sealing lip outer diameter to provide a second sealing interface. The shroud portion includes a curvature between the diffuser portion outer lip and the inlet portion outer lip to align with a first stage compressor rotor, where a ratio of the first sealing lip outer diameter to the second sealing lip outer diameter is between 1.622 and 1.628.

    Abstract: A turbine seal plate includes an inner rim with a labyrinth seal land that defines a central bore having a labyrinth seal diameter. The turbine seal plate also includes a housing coupling ring arranged radially outward of the inner rim. A housing pilot extends axially from the housing coupling ring and substantially parallel to the labyrinth seal land with respect to a radially inner portion of the housing pilot. The housing pilot has a housing pilot thickness, and a ratio of the housing pilot thickness to the labyrinth seal diameter is between 0.08 and 0.14. A frusto-conical body extends between the radially inner portion of the housing pilot and the inner rim of the turbine seal plate.
