Abstract

Abstract: Environmental control systems hold vital importance as they are responsible for aircraft cabin air ventilation and passenger comfort. This paper presents an analytical design of both Conventional & Electrical environmental control systems. The result of the estimated design is represented in a geometrical model that gives freedom to visualize various options in the conceptual design process, using Knowledge-based engineering application as a base for the design and methodology. Flexibility in the model enables the user to control the size and positioning of the system and sub-systems associated with it. The number of passengers serves as the driving input and the three-dimensional model gives the exact representation concerning the volume occupied and dependencies on the number of passengers. It also provides a faster method to alter the system to user needs with respect to the number of air supply pipes, number of ducts, and pipe length.
