Abstract: A water extractor is provided and includes a helical channel, a toroidal body encompassing the helical channel and defining an exhaust plenum beyond the helical channel and comprising a first outlet, an outer body defining a settling chamber about the toroidal body and including a second outlet and a drain and a scupper disposed to direct moisture, which is separated from a medium flowing through the helical channel, from the helical channel and into the settling chamber. The medium is flowable from the helical channel into the exhaust plenum and then sequentially through the first and second outlets to pressurize collected moisture flow from the settling chamber and through the drain.

Abstract: An inline valve includes a sliding piston having a radially outer stop portion with a forward end. A radially inner sliding portion is connected to the radially outer stop portion by an arm. A housing includes an outer housing body surrounding the piston. The housing has a stop surface selectively in contact with the forward end of the radially outer stop portion of the piston to block flow for a housing inlet to a housing outlet. The radially inner sliding portion slides on a support tube. At least a portion of the radially inner sliding portion is formed of a first material having better wear resistance than a second material forming the outer stop portion of the piston. The second material has a greater resistance to high temperature and pressure than the first material. A vent valve for a compressor is also disclosed.

Abstract: An air separation module includes a separator, a canister, and a nominal-length end cap. The separator is arranged to separate ambient air into an oxygen-enriched air fraction and a nitrogen-enriched air fraction. The canister supports the separator and has a canister end flange, a canister intermediate flange and a canister end, the canister intermediate flange arranged between the canister end flange and the canister end. The nominal-length end cap is fixed to the canister end flange, and the separator extends between the canister end flange and the canister end. Nitrogen generation systems and methods of generating nitrogen-enriched air flows are also described.

Abstract: A water separator includes an outer annular passage extending along a central longitudinal axis of water separator to direct an airflow along a first direction, and an inner annular passage located radially inboard of the outer annular passage and coaxial with the outer annular passage to direct the airflow along a second direction. A coalescer is located along the outer annular passage to coalesce water in the airflow. A water collector is located along the inner annular passage to collect the water. An airflow outlet is located downstream of the water collector through which the airflow exits the water separator.

Abstract: A water extractor for an environmental control system of an aircraft includes a separation mechanism configured to divide an airflow into a first airflow and a second airflow. The separation mechanism includes an inlet conduit, a body in fluid communication with the inlet conduit, and at least one coalescing feature arranged within an interior of the body. A water extraction vessel is arranged in fluid communication with the separation mechanism. The water extraction vessel includes a first portion for receiving the first airflow and a second portion for receiving the second airflow. The first portion is configured to collect and remove water from the first airflow.
