    摘要: A counterflow heat exchanger includes a first fluid inlet, a first fluid outlet fluidly coupled to the first fluid inlet via a core section, a second fluid inlet, and a second fluid outlet fluidly coupled to the second fluid inlet via the core section. The core section includes a plurality of first fluid passages configured to convey the first fluid flow from the first fluid inlet toward the first fluid outlet, and a plurality of second fluid passages configured to convey the second fluid flow from the second fluid inlet toward the second fluid outlet such that the first fluid flow exchanges thermal energy with the second fluid flow at the core section. One or more drains are operably connected to the plurality of first fluid passages configured to remove condensation from an interior of the first fluid passages prior to the condensation reaching the first fluid outlet.

    摘要: An environmental control system includes a refrigerant circuit with a pump segment and an evaporator segment, an evaporator arranged along the evaporator segment and in fluid communication with of the refrigerant circuit, and a coolant circuit. The coolant circuit extends through the evaporator and is thermally coupled to refrigerant circuit by the evaporator, the coolant circuit including a first segment and a second segment arranged in parallel with one another to transfer heat from a first zone to a first portion of liquid coolant traversing the coolant circuit and transfer additional heat from a second zone to a second portion of coolant traversing the coolant circuit. Aircraft and environmental control systems are also described.

    摘要: Disclosed is an aircraft including ductwork. The ductwork includes a cabin recirculation vent disposed to draw air from an aircraft cabin. The ductwork includes a riser defining a return conduit disposed to convey air from the cabin recirculation vent. The ductwork includes a thermoelectric heat pump having a first side and a second side, the first side in thermal contact with the return conduit that transfers heat to the second side upon application of an electrical input.

    摘要: An environmental control system that includes a first environmental control system pack, a first recirculation fan assembly, and a cabin air sensor unit. The first environmental control system pack is arranged to provide conditioned air to an aircraft cabin. The first recirculation fan assembly is arranged to recirculate a first cabin air fluid flow back to the aircraft cabin. The cabin air sensor unit is arranged to provide a first air quality signal indicative of an air quality of the first cabin air fluid flow to a controller.

    摘要: A heat exchanger includes a body shaped to integrate with one or more system structural elements and a plurality of first flow channels defined in the body. The heat exchanger also includes a plurality of second flow channels defined in the body. The second flow channels are fluidly isolated from the first flow channels. The first flow channels and the second flow channels have a changing flow direction characteristic along a direction of flow within the first flow channels and the second flow channels.
