Zusammenfassung:An environmental control system for conditioning a cabin of a vehicle positioned in an enclosed air-evacuated environment includes a first inlet (24) for a first medium (A1), a second inlet (26) for a second medium (A2), and a thermodynamic device including a compressor and at least one turbine. The at least one turbine is fluidly coupled to and arranged downstream from the first and second inlet. A flow of the first medium (A1) and a first flow of the second medium (A2) are mixed to form a third medium at a first mixing point (M1) arranged downstream from the thermodynamic device relative to the flow of the first medium (A1). A dehumidification system (40) is fluidly coupled to the thermodynamic device and is arranged upstream from the at least one turbine. A regeneration heat exchanger (60) is fluidly coupled to and is downstream from the compressor. Heat is removed from the first medium (A1) at the regeneration heat exchanger (60).
