  • Fluid conditioning apparatus and system
    Patent number: 5214935
    Abstract: A system for conditioning working fluid in environmental control systems includes arrangements for minimizing icing from a variable flow velocity turbine exit flow at subfreezing conditions, wherein the turbine is very closely located to the downstream heat exchanger, including a backpressure plate for minimizing flow velocity stratification, an internal bypass passage arranged to produce a relatively predictable bypass flow ratio regardless of the flow velocity stratification, and other anti-icing techniques.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 1990
    Date of Patent: June 1, 1993
    Assignee: Allied-Signal Inc.
    Inventor: Michael R. Brunskill
  • Fluid conditioning system and apparatus
    Patent number: 5145124
    Abstract: An environmental control system for an aircraft including a variable bleed air flow control valve, an air cycle air conditioning device, and a variable recirculation air flow fan. The system is configured to maintain a desired minimum volumetric air circulation flow rate through the aircraft with variable passenger fresh air requirements met by bleed air flow.
