An annular water removal system (AWRS) for an air cycle environmental control system (ECS) includes a line replaceable unit (LRU) configured to output air flow, and a water collector coupled to the LRU. The water collector includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion includes a coalescing unit having a collector inlet to receive the air flow and configured to coalesce moisture from the air flow output from the LRU. The lower portion includes a collection unit in fluid communication with the coalescing unit. The collection unit is configured to collect the moisture coalesced by the coalescing unit.

High-pressure annular water collector with axial swirl vanes for an air cycle environmental control system

The present disclosure provides for heat exchanger assemblies, systems and methods. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for radially-flowing cross flow heat exchanger assemblies and systems that increase primary heat transfer surface, and related methods of use. The present disclosure provides for a cross-flow heat exchanger assembly that can be packaged cylindrically or the like (or other self-enclosed shapes), and where the heat exchanger assembly also increases and/or maximizes primary heat transfer surface area by utilizing a weave-style or interwoven heat exchanger core. A first circuit flow path can be axial or circumferential in nature, and a second circuit flow path can be radial.

Radially-flowing cross flow heat exchanger that increases primary heat transfer surface

A heat exchanger includes a header and an annular core fluidly connected to the header. The annular core includes an inner diameter, an outer diameter, first flow channels arranged in a first set of layers, and second flow channels arranged in a second set of layers and interleaved with the first flow channels. Each of the first flow channels includes a first inlet, a first outlet, and a first axial region extending between the first inlet and the first outlet. Each of the second flow channels includes a second inlet, a second outlet, and a second axial region extending between the second inlet and the second outlet.

Annular heat exchanger

A counter-flow heat exchanger core includes a first wall defining a longitudinal axis. The first flow path is defined within the first wall. The first flow path includes a primary flow inlet and a primary flow outlet downstream from the primary flow inlet. The heat exchanger core includes at least two hollow vanes circumferentially spaced apart and extending in a radially inward direction from the first wall. Each of the at least two hollow vanes includes a first vane wall and a second vane wall. The heat exchanger core includes a second flow path defined within the at least two hollow vanes between the first vane wall and second vane wall of each of the at least two hollow vanes. The heat exchanger core includes at least one fin extending between two of the at least two circumferentially spaced apart vanes.
