Abstract
An integrated fuel and environmental control system is provided and includes a first heat exchanger in which fuel and oil thermally communicate and a second heat exchanger disposable in a super-cooled fluid flow. The second heat exchanger is receptive of at least one of the fuel and oil from the first heat exchanger whereby the at least one of the fuel and oil thermally communicate with the super-cooled fluid flow. The second heat exchanger is also receptive of a second fluid whereby the second fluid thermally communicates with the super-cooled fluid flow downstream from the thermal communication of the super-cooled fluid flow with the at least one of the fuel and oil.
