This disclosure generally relates to a connection fitting for an environment control system. More particularly, this disclosure relates to a connection fitting for a refrigerant conduit subject to extreme environmental conditions.
An air vehicle experiences extreme conditions during a normal operating sequence. These extremes conditions include fluctuations from extremely low temperatures to extremely high temperatures. Additionally, systems aboard an air vehicle are required to be easily assembled and disassembled for maintenance and therefore require connection fittings between components such as conduits with a refrigeration system. Such connections are potential leak points that are required to remain sealed within specific limits during the entire operation cycle including the extreme highs and lows of temperature.
