An air cycle machine is the refrigeration unit of the environmental control system used in pressurized gas-turbine–powered aircraft. Normally an aircraft has two or three of these ACM. Each ACM and va

Cyclonic separation is a method of removing particulates from an air, gas or liquid stream, without the use of filters, through vortex separation. When removing particulate matter from liquid, a hydro

…kPa). The next step is to dehumidify the air. Cooling the air has caused any water vapor it contains to condense into fog, which can be removed using a cyclonic separator. Historically, the water extracted by the separator was simply dumped overboard, but newer ACMs spray the water into the outside-air intakes for each…
