Zusammenfassung:A powerplant (10) for an aircraft includes a turbine engine core (26), a recovery system (16) and a flowpath (50). The turbine engine core (26) includes a compressor section (28), a combustor section (29) and a turbine section (30). The recovery system (16) includes a condenser (80) and a flow circuit (82). The flow circuit (82) includes a separator (94) and a treatment device (102). The recovery system (102) is configured to condense water flowing within the flowpath (50) from a gaseous phase to a liquid phase using the condenser. The recovery system (16) is configured to direct the water in the liquid phase from the flowpath (50) into the flow circuit (82) using the separator (94). The recovery system (16) is configured to treat a quantity of the water within the flow circuit (82) using the treatment device (102) to provide treated water. The recovery system (16) is configured to provide a quantity of the treated water to the turbine engine core (26).
