    Abstract: An environmental control system of an aircraft includes a ram air circuit including a ram air shell having at least one heat exchanger positioned therein and a divider arranged within the ram air shell to separate the ram air shell into a first region and a second region. The at least one heat exchanger is arranged within both the first region and the second region. A first medium is configured to flow through the first region and a second, distinct medium is configured to flow through the second region. The environmental control system additionally includes a dehumidification system arranged in fluid communication with the ram air circuit and a compression device arranged in fluid communication with the ram air circuit and the dehumidification system.

    Abstract: An environmental control system of an aircraft includes a ram air circuit including a ram air shell having at least one heat exchanger positioned therein, a dehumidification system arranged in fluid communication with the ram air circuit, and a compressing device arranged in fluid communication with the ram air circuit and the dehumidification system. The compression device includes a compressor and a first turbine coupled to one another via a shaft. During operation of the first turbine, work is extracted from a first medium within the first turbine to power the compressor. At an outlet of the first turbine, a temperature of the first medium is above freezing and at least a portion of the moisture within the first medium is condensed.

    Abstract: An airplane is provided. The airplane includes an environmental control system that provides a pressurized medium to a chamber of the airplane. The airplane also includes a bleed system. The bleed system includes a plurality of ports, each of which can provide a bleed medium from an engine of the airplane to the environmental control system. The plurality of ports includes at least a first port, a second port, and a third port. The first port is selected for an idle condition. The second port is selected for a hot day cruise condition. The third port is selected for a standard operating condition. The bleed system can operate in a first mode, a second mode, or a third mode to provide the bleed medium to the environmental control system from the first port, the second port, or the third port respectively.
