Abstract: A water separator for use in an environmental control system of an aircraft includes a body having a first upstream end, a second downstream end, and plurality of fluidly distinct flow channels extending between the first upstream end and the second downstream end. A flow of medium provided to the water separator is configured to flow through the plurality of fluidly distinct flow channels in parallel.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a core, a first manifold, and a second manifold. The first and second manifolds include a primary fluid channel extending between a fluid port and a first branched region, a plurality of secondary fluid channels fluidly connected to the primary fluid channel at the first branched region, and a first overlap region of the plurality of secondary fluid channels downstream of the first branched region and connected to the core. The plurality of secondary fluid channels are interleaved at the first overlap region such that a first layer of secondary fluid channels of the first manifold forms a first flow layer within the core, a first layer of secondary fluid channels of the second manifold forms a second flow layer within the core, and the first flow layer is adjacent and parallel to the second flow layer.
