Abstract: A method is disclosed for removing ozone from a gas. According to this method, the gas is contacted with an adsorbent that includes a transition metal oxide or metal organic framework to form a treated gas. The treated gas is contacted with a noble metal catalyst to catalytically decompose ozone in the treated gas, thereby forming an ozone-depleted treated gas.

Abstract: A ram air fan assembly includes an outer housing. An inner housing is located within the outer housing. A motor is attached to the inner housing. An inlet tube extends between the outer housing and the motor. The inlet tube includes a straight first portion and a curved second portion. At least one of the two portions includes a perforated portion.

Abstract: A motor housing assembly for a cabin air compressor assembly is provided that includes a central body portion, a first end portion, and a second end portion. The central body portion has an internal cavity configured to receive an electric motor. The first end portion includes a first and second motor cooling inlet duct. The second end portion includes a flange configured to couple with an outlet housing of the cabin air compressor assembly. A motor cooling duct centerline is defined between the first and second motor cooling inlet duct and is perpendicular to a central body portion centerline. A first distance is defined between an outer edge of the first and second motor cooling inlet duct. A second distance is defined between an outer face of the flange and an intersection of the centerlines. A ratio of the first distance to the second distance is between 1.29 and 1.3.

Abstract: A fan housing of a ram air fan assembly is provided including a flange having at least one tab. The at least one tab includes a first portion extending generally perpendicularly from the flange and a second portion extending generally parallel to the flange. A notch is formed by an inclined surface and a curved surface at an intersection between the first portion and the second portion. The second portion is elongated and extends about 0.020 inches beyond a front surface of the first portion.

Abstract: A vane for a variable diffuser includes a body with an inlet end and an outlet end, a leading surface extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, a trailing surface opposite the leading surface and extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, a first surface extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, and a second surface opposite the first surface and extending from the inlet end to the outlet end. The vane further includes a first cavity on the first surface of the vane adjacent the inlet end, a second cavity on the first surface of the vane adjacent the outlet end, a third cavity on the second surface of the vane adjacent the inlet end, and a fourth cavity on the second surface of the vane adjacent the outlet end.

Abstract: A ram air fan assembly includes an outer housing. An inner housing is located within the outer housing. A motor is attached to the inner housing. An inlet tube extends between the outer housing and the motor. The inlet tube includes a straight first portion and a curved second portion. At least one of the two portions includes a perforated portion.

Abstract: A refrigerant expansion valve for a refrigerant system includes a main body, a motor and first and second members. The main body has a refrigerant flow passage that extends therethrough. The first and second members are connected together and are configured with threads that have a different pitch to allow for relative movement between both members and the main body. The motor is positioned adjacent the main body and is coupled to the first member. The motor actuates the first member in response to control signals to move the second member within the main body to modulate the flow of refrigerant through the refrigerant flow passage.
