HIGH-PRESSURE ANNULAR WATER COLLECTOR WITH AXIAL SWIRL VANES FOR AN AIR CYCLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

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.
