Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an electrical power and cooling system for use in an aircraft having at least one engine. The electrical power and cooling system comprises a single shaft, a power turbine mounted on the shaft for receiving fresh pressurized air from the at least one engine, a cooling turbine mounted on the shaft and receiving the fresh pressurized air from the at least one engine, a generator mounted on the shaft, and a fan mounted on the shaft for creating a flow of cooling air. The system further has a condenser for removing moisture from the air exiting the cooling turbine and a mixing chamber for mixing the cooled dry air with recirculated cabin air. The electrical power and cooling system delivers conditioned air to a cabin and/or a flight deck onboard the aircraft and electrical power to the aircraft's electrical systems.
