Abstract
An environmental control system is installed to dissipate the thermal load in avionic equipments that are mounted under an aircraft. The operating characteristics of the system change with variations in the control parameters. In this study, an environmental control system was designed and built using R-124 by adopting a vapor compression cycle. The operating characteristics of this system were observed by varying the control parameters, such as refrigerant charging amount, opening of the expansion device, compressor rotation speed, and blower rotation speed. The effect of the control parameters on the environmental control system was analyzed and an optimum control method was identified.
