The results of analytical study investigating the feasibility of a new and unique environmental control concept for the cabin air conditioning requirements of the Navy F-4 fighter aircraft are reported. The heat-actuated Conductron environmental control concept is basically a vapor compression system which utilizes two thermodynamic loops and a unique device which replaces the conventional compressor. It is shown that an environmental control system based on the Conductron concept can be adapted to the Navy F-4 fighter aircraft with the existing constraints on weight, size, and power. The Conductron system can provide both cooling and heating under all aircraft operating conditions, including ground-static. Significant reductions in the compressor bleed air requirements, as compared to the present Navy F-4 air-cycle air conditioning system, can be realized with the Conductron environmental control system. The Conductron ECS can be used for cabin and equipment environmental control of all high-performance and subsonic aircraft. The specific results of this study are applicable to the Navy F-4 fighter aircraft only.
