Abstract:
To provide an aircraft contaminant removal system which includes one or more membrane separators configured to absorb a contaminant from a cabin air stream into a liquid sorbent, desorb the contaminant from the liquid sorbent, discharge the contaminant into a contaminant stream, and return clean air back to the cabin.SOLUTION: The contaminant removal system includes a membrane scrubber-separator and a membrane stripper-separator, while in other examples the contaminant removal system may include a single membrane separator configured to operate in a scrubbing mode and a stripping mode. The contaminant removal system may include a humidity management system configured to maintain a humidity of the clean air stream or water concentration of the liquid sorbent using one or more water sources of the aircraft, and a thermal management system configured to maintain a temperature of the liquid sorbent using one or more heat exchangers fluidically coupled to an aircraft air stream.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
