Abstract: Passive dehumidifiers for environmental control units (ECUs) are presented. In embodiments, the passive dehumidifier may include a plenum with an intake to receive an airflow with moisture (e.g., water droplets, water vapor, etc.) present. Upon entering the passive dehumidifier, the airflow may experience a reduction in inertia and a change from a first direction to a second direction. The directional change may be sharp enough (e.g., greater than 90 degrees) that the moisture in the airflow are not able to follow the airflow and are instead directed to impinge and be collected on a collector wall, which may include one or more hydrophilic surfaces facilitating the impinged water droplets to form a liquid film upon impact on the collector wall. The film may collapse due to gravity and may be drained out through and/or on a hydrophilic screen mesh (e.g., hydrophilic screen mesh surface) on the collector wall surface(s).

Abstract: Multi-way valves for conditioned airflow control systems. In embodiments, a muti-way valve includes an intake configured to receive an airflow as in input to the muti-way valve, a plurality of outlets, each of the plurality of outlets configured to provide at least a portion of the airflow as an output of the muti-way valve, a gate assembly including a gate opening configured to allow air to flow through the gate opening, and an actuator configured to move the gate assembly to a position configured to allow the airflow to concurrently flow through the gate opening to a first set of outlets of the plurality of outlets while preventing the airflow from flowing to a second set of outlets of the plurality of outlets.

Abstract: A system for cooling a plurality of electrical equipment components inside a mobile platform may include at least one manifold and a plurality of flexible tubing ducts. The manifold may have an outlet, and a plurality of inlet tubing connections in fluid communication with the outlet. The outlet may be coupled to an interface of a cooling system of the platform by exhaust tubing. Each of the flexible tubing ducts may have a proximal end and a distal end. Each proximal end may be selectively connectable to the inlet tubing connections. Each distal end may have an air intake port that is alternatively positionable in two or more thermal dissipation zones of the electrical equipment components for permitting an exhaust profile inside the platform to the interface to be reconfigured based at least in part on respective positions of the electrical equipment components.
