Abstract: A flow conditioning system for a duct. The flow conditioning system includes a preconditioner that modifies upstream fluid flow that is maldistributed, providing predictable downstream flow to fluid flowing within the duct. The directional flow conditioner also includes a stationary flow geometry structure downstream of the preconditioner. The stationary flow geometry structure further conditions the upstream fluid flow from the preconditioner to provide a downstream flow with a substantially uniform flow profile. The flow conditioning system transforms upstream fluids having a maldistributed flow profile such as may be caused by a component, structure or obstruction within the duct to a substantially uniform flow profile downstream of the flow conditioning system within the available axial duct length so that the fluid may interact efficiently with equipment such as heat exchangers positioned within the duct downstream of the flow conditioning system.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes: a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine arranged in sequential flow relationship along a primary flowpath, the turbine being connected in mechanical driving relationship to the compressor, so as to define at least one engine rotor that is rotatable about a centerline axis of the engine; a secondary flowpath connected in flow communication with the primary flowpath; and an air cycle machine including an air cycle rotor carrying an at least one air cycle compressor and at least one air cycle expander, wherein: the air cycle rotor is coupled in mechanical driving relationship with the at least one engine rotor; the air cycle rotor is coupled in fluid flow communication with the secondary flowpath; and the air cycle rotor is coupled in fluid flow communication with at least one heat exchanger.

Abstract: An inverted heat exchanger device includes an exterior conduit elongated and extending around a center axis between a first end and second end. The exterior conduit including a body having an exterior surface, an interior surface, a center core elongated along the center axis, and plural walls extending between the center core and the interior surface. A first conduit is disposed inside the exterior conduit that includes an inlet, plural core passages, an outlet, and internal manifolds. A first fluid is configured to flow along the first conduit. A second conduit is also disposed inside the exterior conduit. The second conduit includes an inlet, plural core passages, an outlet, and internal manifolds. A second fluid is configured to flow along the second conduit. The plural walls are configured to define the first conduit and the second conduit within the body of the exterior conduit.
