  • Patent number: 9133028
    Abstract: An ozone converter includes an inlet housing having an inlet at a first end and an inlet housing flange at a second end and an outlet housing having outlet housing flange at a first end and an outlet at a second end. The ozone converter also includes a removable coupling holding the inlet housing and the outlet housing in a fixed relationship to one another and a core disposed at least partially within one of the inlet housing flange and outlet housing flange. The core includes a core flange disposed at least partially between the inlet housing flange and outlet housing flange such that core is held in a fixed position relative to one or both of the inlet and outlet housings.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040194493
    Abstract: An air generation unit includes first and second air cycle machines (ACMs), each having first and second turbines. A manifold is arranged between the first and second ACMs and is in fluid communication with each of the first and second turbines of the first and second ACMs. A condenser is arranged between the ACMs and is in fluid communication with the manifold. First and second valves are disposed within the manifold and control flow of air between the turbines and the condenser. An actuator is assembly is connected to the valves for moving the valves between a plurality of positions. The valves selectively close off or prevent the flow of air from the turbines of one of the ACMs in the event that the ACM is not needed or malfunctions.

  • Publication number: 20040177639
    Abstract: The present invention provides an air generation unit (AGU) including a pressurized air source, such as an engine providing pressurized air. First and second air cycle machine (ACM) are fluidly connected to the pressurized air source for receiving the air. A heat exchanger interconnects the first and second ACMs. The heat exchanger mechanically supports the first and second ACMs by flexible isolators, which accommodates the thermo expansion of the heat exchanger through out the operation of the AGU. The heat exchanger includes a primary heat exchanger that cools the air from the air source. The ACMs each include a compressor receiving the air from the primary heat exchanger to provide compressed air. The compressed air is sent to a secondary heat exchanger to be cooled. The compressed air is passed through a condenser and a water collector to remove moisture from the air for being sent to a first turbine.
