Abstract

A housing of an air cycle machine compressor is provided. The housing includes a body defining an aperture therethrough and one or more bosses located circumferentially around the body, the body having a general wall thickness. A duct is configured on a portion of the body. The body includes a first angle defining an area extending over a circumferential direction of the body having a first wall thickness different from the general wall thickness. The first angle is configured with the first wall thickness having a ratio of 1.565 as compared to the general wall thickness.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A housing of an air cycle machine compressor, the housing comprising:
a body defining an aperture therethrough and one or more bosses located circumferentially around the body, the body having a general wall thickness; and
a duct configured on a portion of the body;
wherein the body includes a first angle defining an area extending over a circumferential direction of the body having a first wall thickness different from the general wall thickness,
wherein the first angle is configured with the first wall thickness having a ratio of 1.565 as compared to the general wall thickness.

2. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the first angle has a wall thickness of 0.180±0.020 inches.

3. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a second angle defining an area extending over a circumferential direction of the body having a second wall thickness that is different from the general wall thickness, wherein the second angle is configured with the second wall thickness having a ratio of 2.174 as compared to the general wall thickness.

4. The housing of claim 3 , wherein the second wall thickness is 0.250±0.020 inches.

5. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a third angle defining an area extending over a circumferential direction of the body having a third wall thickness that is different from the general wall thickness, wherein the third angle is configured with the third wall thickness having a ratio of 1.739 as compared to the general wall thickness.

6. The housing of claim 5 , wherein the third wall thickness is 0.200±0.020 inches.

7. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a fourth angle defining an area extending over a circumferential direction of the body having a fourth wall thickness that is different from the general wall thickness, wherein the fourth angle is configured with the fourth wall thickness having a ratio of 1.739 as compared to the general wall thickness.

8. The housing of claim 5 , wherein the fourth wall thickness is 0.200±0.020 inches.

9. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a defined general fillet radius, and wherein the duct has a first fillet radius at a base connecting to the body, the first fillet radius having a fillet radius with a ratio of four as compared to the general fillet radius.

10. The housing of claim 9 , wherein the first fillet radius is 0.500±0.030 inches.

11. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a defined general fillet radius, and wherein the duct has a second fillet radius at a base connecting to the body, the second fillet radius having a fillet radius with a ratio of four as compared to the general fillet radius.

12. The housing of claim 11 , wherein the second fillet radius is 0.500±0.030 inches.

13. A housing of an air cycle machine compressor, the housing comprising:
a body defining an aperture therethrough and one or more bosses located circumferentially around the body, the body having a defined general fillet radius; and
a duct configured on a portion of the body;
wherein the body includes a first fillet radius having a fillet radius different from the general fillet radius,
wherein the first fillet radius is configured with the first fillet radius having a ratio of four as compared to the general fillet radius.

14. The housing of claim 13 , wherein the first fillet radius is 0.500±0.030 inches.

15. The housing of claim 13 , wherein the body includes a defined general fillet radius, and wherein the duct has a second fillet radius at a base connecting to the body, the second fillet radius having a fillet radius with a ratio of four as compared to the general fillet radius.

16. The housing of claim 15 , wherein the second fillet radius is 0.500±0.030 inches.
