Abstract

A mount configured for use with a recirculation heat exchanger of an aircraft environmental control is provided including a rectangular base having a length of about 14 inches (35.56 cm) and a width of about 6 inches (15.24 cm). A support extends vertically from the base. A top surface of the support is arranged at a 10° angle below a horizontal plane.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A mount configured for use with a recirculation heat exchanger of an aircraft environmental control system, comprising:
a rectangular base having a length of about 14 inches (35.56 cm) and a width of about 6 inches (15.24 cm); and
a support extending vertically from the base and defining a vertical extent of the mount, wherein a topmost surface of the support is a topmost surface of the mount and is non parallel to a bottommost surface of the base, the support configured to receive a recirculation heat exchanger;
wherein the base includes a left foot arranged adjacent a left side thereof and a right foot adjacent a right side thereof, each of the feet extending 0.200 inches (0.508 cm) perpendicular to a horizontal plane in a first direction and 0.375 inches (0.9525 cm) perpendicular to a horizontal plane in a second, opposite direction, the left foot and right foot having an upper surface with a length of about 1.025 inches (2.6035 cm) and a lower surface with a length of about 1.300 inches (3.302 cm), each of the feet extending horizontally along the entire width of the base;
wherein a hollow interior of the support is divided into a first section, second section, and third section by a first web and a second web, wherein a distance between the right side and an adjacent surface of the first web is about 9.293 inches (23.604 cm) and a distance between the right side and an adjacent surface of the second web is 4.557 inches (11.575 cm); and
wherein one or more of the first web and the second web extend from inside of the support through a support wall to outside of the support.

2. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein one or more corners of the base have a radius of about 0.500 inches (1.27 cm) and one or more corners of the support have a radius of about 0.250 inches (0.635 cm).

3. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein a distance from a right side of the base to the upper surface of the left foot is about 12.975 inches (32.957 cm) and a distance from a right side of the base to the lower surface of the left foot is about 12.7000 inches (32.258 cm).

4. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein at least one opening is formed in the lower surface of the base, the at least one opening being positioned such that a first side is arranged at a distance of about 1.207 inches (3.066 cm) from a back side of the base, and a second side is arranged at a distance of about 4.964 inches (12.609 cm) from the back side of the base.

5. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the right side of the base is arranged at a distance of about 2.075 inches (5.271 cm) from an adjacent surface, of the support and a distance of about 11.925 inches (30.290 cm) from an opposite surface of the support.

6. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the horizontal plane intersects a rear surface of the base at a point, a front surface of the vertical support being arranged at a distance of about 5.038 inches (12.797 cm) from a parallel plane containing the point, a rear surface of the vertical support being arranged at a distance of about 1.038 inches (2.636 cm) from a parallel plane containing the point, and a top surface of the vertical support being arranged at a distance of about 1.820 inches (4.623 cm) from a parallel plane containing the point.

7. The mount according to claim 6 , wherein a first angled surface of the first web is arranged at a distance of about 4.626 inches (11.750 cm) from a parallel plane containing the point, the first angled surface extending from a radius of about 0.750 inches (1.905 cm) at an angle of about 49.94° relative to vertical, a second angled surface of the first web is arranged at a distance of about 0.424 inches (1.077 cm) from a parallel plane containing the point, the second angle surface extending from a radius of about 0.500 inches (1.27 cm).
