A two spool environmental control system includes a low pressure spool subsystem comprising a low pressure turbine and a condenser downstream of the low pressure turbine. A high pressure spool subsystem is in air flow communication with the low pressure spool subsystem and includes the condenser, a first water extractor in air communication with the condenser, a high pressure turbine downstream of the condenser, a second water extractor in air flow communication with the condenser, and a reheater downstream of the high pressure turbine.

1. A method for conditioning water vapor bearing compressed air for supply as conditioned air, comprising:using a high pressure spool subsystem including a high pressure turbine and a compressor; using a low pressure spool subsystem downstream of and in air flow communication with said high pressure spool subsystem, said air flow communication being in the absence of rotating engagement between said subsystems, and said low pressure subsystem including a low pressure turbine and condenser; said condenser being upstream of said low pressure turbine and said high pressure turbine; and condensing, for the purpose of dehumidification, substantially all of said water vapor upstream of and in said high pressure turbine.
