摘要:
A method for operating a debris monitoring system comprises continuously sensing the passage of particulates through a gas turbine engine (12) to produce a time-domain sensor signal. The time-domain sensor signal is Fourier transformed to produce a frequency domain sensor signal. The frequency domain sensor signal is partitioned into bins corresponding to particulate composition categories. At least one feature is identified within each bin, and is used to determine the amount of particulate flow in each particulate composition category.

A method of forming a leading edge protection component includes depositing particles using a cold spray process on a mandrel to form a leading edge protection component; and removing the leading edge protection structure from the mandrel. The leading edge protection can be formed in one or more pieces and involve using one or more mandrels.
摘要:
An onboard inert gas system (100) has an electrochemical and a membrane gas separator (104). The electrochemical separator includes an electrochemical cell including a cathode (14) and anode (16) separated by an electrolyte separator (12). An electrical power source provides power to the electrical circuit at a voltage that electrolyzes water at the anode and forms water at the cathode, or reduces oxygen at the cathode (14) and forms oxygen at the anode (16). Oxygen is consumed at the cathode (14), providing nitrogen-enriched air. Nitrogen-enriched air from the cathode is connected by a flow path to the membrane gas separator (104), which comprises a membrane having a greater permeability to oxygen or water than to nitrogen. Nitrogen-enriched air from the membrane gas separator that is further enriched in nitrogen, reduced in water content, or both, is connected by a flow path to a fuel tank, a fire suppression system, or both a fuel tank and a fire suppression system.
摘要:
Described and claimed is system for detecting low concentrations of specific chemical compounds in the air of an aircraft cabin. The system comprises a cabin management system with a processing unit and a user interface and a plurality of sensors. Each sensor is connected to the processing unit of the cabin management system such that data can be transmitted from the sensor to the processing unit. Each sensor is adapted to determine a presence of a first chemical compound in the air of an aircraft cabin and transmit data indicative of the determined presence to the processing unit. The processing unit is adapted to process data indicative of the presence of the first chemical compound received from a sensor of the plurality of sensors and to signal the presence of the first chemical compound to a user via the user interface. Further an aircraft cabin comprising a system for detecting low concentrations of specific chemical compounds and a method for detecting low concentrations of specific chemical compounds are claimed and described.
摘要:
Overheat and fire detection for aircraft systems includes an optical controller and a fiber optic loop extending from the optical controller (16). The fiber optic loop (18) extends through one or more zones of the aircraft. An optical signal is transmitted through the fiber optic loop from the optical controller and is also received back at the optical controller. The optical controller analyzes the optical signal to determine the temperature, strain, or both experienced within the zones.
摘要:
A sheet material (30) is constituted by an FBL to which one surface (36a) of a fire-retardant urethane material (36) is melted and fused and an outer cover (34) to which the other surface (36b) of the fire-retardant urethane material (36) is melted and fused.
摘要:
A fire detection system for an aircraft, freight transportation vehicle or freight storage facility comprises one or more RFID tags (10) associated with one or more items of freight (4) being transported or stored. The RFID tag (10) is configured to detect a condition indicative of a fire in or in the vicinity the item of freight (4), for example a temperature rise or generation of smoke. One or more RFID readers (12) are arranged to read the RFID tags (10). The RFID reader (12) is connected to or forms part of a control system (18), the RFID reader (12) or the control determining whether the RFID tag (10) has detected a fire.
