An environmental control system (20) of an aircraft includes a ram air circuit (30) including a ram air shell (32) having at least one heat exchanger (34) positioned therein, a dehumidification system (60) arranged in fluid communication with the ram air circuit, and a compressing device (40) arranged in fluid communication with the ram air circuit and the dehumidification system. The compression device includes a compressor (42) and a first turbine (44) coupled to one another via a shaft (50). During operation of the first turbine, work is extracted from a first medium within the first turbine to power the compressor. At an outlet of the first turbine, a temperature of the first medium is above freezing and at least a portion of the moisture within the first medium is condensed.
