Patent References 2969920 3587243 Combined air cycle heat pump and refrigeration system Variable capacity air cycle refrigeration system Air cycle refrigeration system Energy-efficient all-electric ECS for aircraft Environmental control system Patent #: 4580406 InventorApplicationNo. 07/189252 filed on 05/02/1988US Classes:62/90, With reheating62/402Motor-type expanderExaminersPrimary: Capossela, Ronald C.Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesF24F 3/02 (20060101)F24F 3/04 (20060101) B64D 13/00 (20060101) B64D 13/06 (20060101) F25B 9/00 (20060101) AbstractAn air-conditioning system being powered by a supply of compressed air, has an air cycle machine which incorporates a filter. The filter receives pressurized air for filtration after said air has passed through a heater which optimizes the temperature and humidity of the air and passes through a second reheater downstream of the filter and upstream of the turbine to maximize the efficiency of the turbine. | |
