Patent number: 10215049Abstract: A lockout tool for an air cycle machine includes a lockout tool body threaded section, a lockout tool body end section, and a lockout tool body conical tip. The lockout tool body threaded section is operable to engage a threaded port of the air cycle machine that is proximate to a shaft of the air cycle machine. The lockout tool body end section includes a rotation interface operable to receive a rotational force to control engagement of the lockout tool body threaded section with the threaded port. The lockout tool body conical tip is operable to engage the shaft of the air cycle machine to prevent rotation of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2015Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATIONInventors: Brian Cabello, Darryl A. Colson, John M. Beck

Patent number: 9366367Abstract: A cooling tube includes a tube member extending from a first end to a second end through an intermediate portion having an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer surface has an outside diameter. A flange is mounted at one of the first and second ends of the tube member. The flange includes a flange body extending from a first end portion to a second end portion through an intermediate section having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines an inside diameter. The outside diameter of the tube member is between about 0.010-inch (0.0254-cm) and about 0.030-inch (0.0762-cm) smaller than the inside diameter of the flange.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2013Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATIONInventors: Danielle Mansfield-Marcoux, Brian Cabello, William R. Fiske

Patent number: 8979026Abstract: A compressor for pressurizing a flow of air within an aircraft including an inlet providing the flow of air to the compressor. An outlet provides the flow of air, after pressurization by the compressor, to a chamber of the aircraft. A diffuser assembly is disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The diffuser assembly includes one or more vanes at least partially impeding the flow of air through the diffuser assembly. A backing plate is included having a surface adjacent to the one or more vanes. The surface includes a relief feature that enables air to bypass the one or more vanes. The relief feature has an axial depth of about 0.5% to 2.5% of a width of a flow path through the diffuser assembly or of about 0.5% to 5% of a thickness of a flange of the backing plate. A method of operating a compressor is also included.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2013Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrandt CorporationInventors: David A. Dorman, Harold W. Hipsky, Peter A. Wierzbowski, Eric Chrabascz, Brian Cabello
