A high efficiency air cycle air conditioning system (10), driven and charged by a gas turbine engine (15), operates in a closed-loop, Brayton cycle. The system includes a main (bootstrap) compressor (75) discharging to a sink heat exchanger (85) which in turn discharges to a regenerative heat exchanger (110). Air is ducted from the regenerative heat exchanger to an expansion turbine (120) where the air is chilled and then ducted to load (20). Air exhausted from the load is again ducted through the regenerative heat exchanger where the load exhaust air precools turbine inlet air. The capacity (operating pressures) of, and input power to the system are controlled by modulation of charge air provided to the system from the gas turbine engine and if desired, may be further controlled by selective bleeding of air from the system, selective bypassing of the system turbine with refrigerant, or modulation of shaft input power to the main compressor.
