ENVIRONMENTAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

摘要

An environmental air conditioning system is described for conditioning compressed air for supply as conditioned air. The system includes an airflow path to which the compressed air for ultimate distribution as conditioned air (i.e., airflow path compressed air) is supplied. Then airflow path has various components of an air cycle system, and also includes a power turbine outside of the air cycle that receives compressed air and discharges it as exhaust. The power turbine transfers power to a compressor in the air cycle system.

1. An environmental air conditioning system for conditioning airflow path compressed air for supply as conditioned air, the system comprising:
an airflow path comprising a compressor that receives the airflow path compressed air, a first heat exchanger that receives and cools air from the compressor, a first turbine that receives air from the heat exchanger and discharges said air as conditioned air; a second turbine that receives compressed air and discharges it as exhaust; and a power transfer path that transfers power output from the first turbine and power output from the second turbine to the compressor.
