Commercial Aircraft On-Board Inerting System

An inerting system ( 10 ) for an aircraft ( 12 ) includes one or more fuel tank circuits ( 15 ) associated with fuel tanks ( 16 ). An air source ( 17 ) supplies pressurized air. A heat exchanger ( 56 ) cools the pressurized air. An air separation module ( 46 ) is in fluid communication with the heat...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An inerting system ( 10 ) for an aircraft ( 12 ) includes one or more fuel tank circuits ( 15 ) associated with fuel tanks ( 16 ). An air source ( 17 ) supplies pressurized air. A heat exchanger ( 56 ) cools the pressurized air. An air separation module ( 46 ) is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger ( 56 ) and separates inerting gas from the pressurized air. A controller ( 40 ) controls flow of the inerting gas from the air separation module ( 46 ) to the fuel tanks ( 16 ).
