Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for air separation module management includes determining an amount of nitrogen-enriched-air to be supplied to each fuel tank of a plurality of fuel tanks of an aircraft. The method also includes evaluating a status and usage of each air separation module of a plurality of air separation modules onboard the aircraft. The method additionally includes determining an optimal distribution of workload among the plurality of air separation modules based on the amount of the nitrogen-enriched-air to be supplied to each fuel tank and the status and usage of each air separation module. The method further includes regulating a valve associated with each air separation module or a group of air separation modules based on the optimal distribution of workload to each air separation module.
