  • Systems and methods for air revitalization
    Patent number: 11661214
    Abstract: An air revitalization system may include a humidity control device configured to remove water vapor from air within a pressurized enclosed volume. The system may further include an inlet duct configured to transport the air from the pressurized enclosed volume to the humidity control device. The system may also include an outlet duct configured to transport the air from the humidity control device to the pressurized enclosed volume. The system may include a sublimator configured to cool the air within the pressurized enclosed volume while generating additional water vapor. The system may further include a vacuum vent duct configured to transport the water vapor from the humidity control device and the additional water vapor from the sublimator to an exterior of the pressurized enclosed volume.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for temperature control
    Patent number: 10967992
    Abstract: A temperature control system may include a heat exchanger configured to cool air within a pressurized enclosed crew cabin when the air is circulated across the heat exchanger and coolant is circulated through the heat exchanger. The system may further include a sublimator configured to cool the coolant. The system may also include a primary coolant line configured to transport the coolant from the sublimator through the heat exchanger.

  • Systems and methods for pressure control
    Patent number: 10654593
    Abstract: A pressure control system includes at least one tank storing a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen. The system further includes a first branch of a pressure control line configured to transport a first portion of the mixture of oxygen and nitrogen to a pressurized enclosed volume. The system also includes a second branch of the pressure control line configured to transport a second portion of the mixture of oxygen and nitrogen to at least one flight suit removably coupled to the second branch.
