Abstract: A system can include a compressor outlet line configured to receive compressor outlet flow from a compressor, a bypass line in fluid communication with the compressor outlet line and a motor outlet line to divert a bypass flow of the compressor outlet flow. The system can include at least one pump in fluid communication between the bypass line and the motor outlet line such that the bypass flow at least partially drives the pump to pull cooling flow through a motor to cool the motor.

Abstract: A thrust plate includes an annular-shaped body having a scalloped outer edge that forms a first circumference defined by a first diameter. The thrust plate further includes a plurality of cooling slots formed in a first surface of the body. The cooling slots are formed between each pair of adjacent scallops. A center of each cooling slot extends towards the center of the thrust plate at a common predetermined angle with respect to one another.

Abstract: A turbine thrust shaft providing a thrust disk having a surface P and a surface Q, and a shaft body formed through the thrust disk, the shaft body including a first plurality of holes, wherein the first plurality of holes are spaced apart and each hole of the first plurality of holes has a first diameter between 0.0600 inches to 0.0680 inches and has a first center disposed a first distance between 0.1400 inches to 0.1600 inches from surface P, and a second plurality of holes wherein the second plurality of holes are spaced apart and each hole of the second plurality of holes has a second diameter between 0.0960 inches to 0.1040 inches and has a second center disposed a second distance between 2.1350 inches to 2.1550 inches from surface Q.

Abstract: An air bearing shaft for an air cycle machine is provided. The air bearing shaft includes a seal disk and a shaft body. The shaft body includes a first shaft body portion extending from a face of the seal disk to a knife-edge seal. The first shaft body portion includes journal bearing cooling holes positioned axially closer to the knife-edge seal than to the face of the seal disk. The journal bearing cooling holes extend through the first shaft body portion to a hollow interior and have a total cooling area. Start-up holes are positioned axially closer to the face of the seal disk than to the knife-edge seal. The start-up holes extend through the first shaft body portion to the hollow interior. The start-up holes have a total start-up area. A ratio of the total cooling area to the total start-up area is between 2.17 and 4.06.
