A method is disclosed for removing ozone from a gas. According to this method, the gas is contacted with an adsorbent that includes a transition metal oxide or metal organic framework to form a treated gas. The treated gas is contacted with a noble metal catalyst to catalytically decompose ozone in the treated gas, thereby forming an ozone-depleted treated gas.

A ram air fan assembly includes an outer housing. An inner housing is located within the outer housing. A motor is attached to the inner housing. An inlet tube extends between the outer housing and the motor. The inlet tube includes a straight first portion and a curved second portion. At least one of the two portions includes a perforated portion.

Inlet tube design

A motor housing assembly for a cabin air compressor assembly is provided that includes a central body portion, a first end portion, and a second end portion. The central body portion has an internal cavity configured to receive an electric motor. The first end portion includes a first and second motor cooling inlet duct. The second end portion includes a flange configured to couple with an outlet housing of the cabin air compressor assembly. A motor cooling duct centerline is defined between the first and second motor cooling inlet duct and is perpendicular to a central body portion centerline. A first distance is defined between an outer edge of the first and second motor cooling inlet duct. A second distance is defined between an outer face of the flange and an intersection of the centerlines. A ratio of the first distance to the second distance is between 1.29 and 1.3.

A fan housing of a ram air fan assembly is provided including a flange having at least one tab. The at least one tab includes a first portion extending generally perpendicularly from the flange and a second portion extending generally parallel to the flange. A notch is formed by an inclined surface and a curved surface at an intersection between the first portion and the second portion. The second portion is elongated and extends about 0.020 inches beyond a front surface of the first portion.

A vane for a variable diffuser includes a body with an inlet end and an outlet end, a leading surface extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, a trailing surface opposite the leading surface and extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, a first surface extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, and a second surface opposite the first surface and extending from the inlet end to the outlet end. The vane further includes a first cavity on the first surface of the vane adjacent the inlet end, a second cavity on the first surface of the vane adjacent the outlet end, a third cavity on the second surface of the vane adjacent the inlet end, and a fourth cavity on the second surface of the vane adjacent the outlet end.
