The CCAA includes orbital replaceable unit(ORU) subassemblies for the fan, condensing heat exchanger, water/gas separator, liquid & temperature sensor, temperature control valve, and an electronics box. The Common Cabin Air Assembly is used in four U. S. modules : Hab, Lab, Node 2, and Airlock.

OBS

La Station spatiale internationale est encore embryonnaire et ne peut accueillir que 3 à 7 personnes. La gestion de l'air y tient un rôle primordial. Les ingénieurs de la NASA ont donc porté une attention toute particulière au système qui doit non seulement fournir l'oxygène et retirer le gaz carbonique de l'atmosphère de la cabine, mais également éviter l'accumulation d'autres gaz comme l'ammoniac et l'acétone produits en petites quantités par le corps humain.

OBS

système de gestion de l'air des modules américains; CCAA : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
