    摘要: A compressing device for use in an environmental control system includes at least one turbine configured to provide energy by expanding one or more mediums. The one or more mediums provided at an outlet of the at least one turbine form a heat sink within the environmental control system. A compressor is configured to receive energy from the one or more mediums expanded across the at least one turbine. During a first mode of the compressing device, energy derived from a first medium and a second medium of the one or more mediums is used to compress a second medium at the compressor. During a second mode of the compressing device, energy derived from the first medium, the second medium, and a third medium of the one or more mediums is used to compress the second medium at the compressor.

    摘要: A thermal management system for a directed energy weapon includes a first heat exchanger thermally coupled to the directed energy weapon and a second heat exchanger arranged in fluid communication with the first heat exchanger to form a closed loop. The second heat exchanger is thermally coupled to a secondary system and a thermal management fluid circulates within the closed loop. A thermal storage device is arranged in fluid communication with the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. The thermal storage device contains a material and a mode of operation of the directed energy weapon is dependent on a condition of the material in the thermal storage device.

    摘要: An environmental control system of a vehicle includes a first compression device including a compressor, a first turbine, and a power turbine operably coupled by a shaft. The first turbine is configured to receive a first medium, the compressor is configured to receive a second medium, and the power turbine is configured to receive a third medium. A second compression device, separate from the first compression device, includes a second turbine. The environmental control system is operable in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the second medium is provided to the compressor and the second turbine sequentially. In the second mode, the second medium bypasses the second turbine. In in both the first mode and the second mode, only the second medium is provided to an outlet of the environmental control system.

    摘要: An environmental control system of an aircraft includes a compressing device including a compressor and a turbine configured to receive a flow of first medium sequentially and a second turbine arranged in fluid communication with an outlet of the compressor. The second turbine is configured to receive a flow of second medium distinct from the first medium. A dehumidification system is arranged in fluid communication with the turbine, a first bypass valve is configured to divert at least a portion of the flow of the first medium output from the compressor around the turbine, and a second bypass valve configured to divert at least a portion of the flow of first medium output from the compressor to the second turbine.

    摘要: A medium supply system for delivering one or more mediums to an environmental control system of a vehicle includes a manifold arranged in fluid communication with an inlet of the environmental control system, a first medium source for delivering a first medium to the manifold via a first port; a second medium source for delivering a second medium to the manifold via a second port, and a third medium source for delivering a third medium to the manifold via a third port. At least one of a temperature and pressure of each of the first medium, the second medium, and the third medium varies.

    摘要: A method and system for predicting heat exchanger blockage in an aircraft is provided. The method includes generating a reduced order model (ROM) that predicts a ram air fan (RAF) surge margin that correlates to a heat exchanger blockage parameter, calculating, using the ROM, a predicted RAF surge margin value using a sensor signal received from a sensor connected to a ram air fan (RAF), calculating the heat exchanger blockage parameter using at least the predicted RAF surge margin value, and reporting, to a user, the heat exchanger blockage parameter that indicates when a heat exchanger blockage condition is present.
