<p>A liquid-to-air cycle system for conditioning water vapor bearing air and cooling a liquid load (51) comprises an air cycle subsystem (11) and a liquid cycle subsystem (12). The air cycle subsystem includes a first air-to-air heat exchanger (21), a reheater (25) downstream of the first air-to-air heat exchanger, a first turbine (29) downstream of the reheater, a first water extractor (31) downstream of the first turbine, a first liquid-to-air heat exchanger (33) downstream of the water extractor, and a second turbine downstream of the first liquid-to-air heat exchanger. Thereby, the second turbine (38) can recover rejected heat from the first liquid-to-air heat exchanger. The liquid cycle subsystem is in heat exchange relationship the air cycle subsystem at the first liquid-to-air heat exchanger such that the first liquid-to-air heat exchanger absorbs the rejected heat from the liquid cycle subsystem.</p> |
