摘要: A system and method for supplementing fuel feed pressure and flow within an aircraft fuel system. The fuel system includes boost and override fuel pumps delivering fuel from the tanks to a fuel manifold, and a jettison fuel pump. The method includes the steps of: (a) sensing whether the aircraft engine is operating near maximum power; (b) upon sensing the condition, operating the jettison fuel pump in fluid interconnection with the override fuel pump to deliver fuel to the fuel manifold; and (c) upon sensing the cessation of the condition, deactivating the jettison fuel pump. The system includes a monitoring circuit signaling when the aircraft engine speed is greater than a predetermined threshold, and a fuel system control circuit operating a jettison fuel pump enable circuit portion in response to the signal while omitting other jettisoning operations. The jettison fuel pump consequently functions as an override fuel pump assist.

摘要: An apparatus contains a dihydrogen tank and/or a dihydrogen circuit, and a device for regulating a concentration of dihydrogen located outside the tank and/or the circuit. The device includes at least one pair of electrical conductors including a first electrical conductor supplied with a first voltage and a second electrical conductor supplied with a second voltage which is different from the first voltage. At least one controller repeatedly commands the application of a predetermined voltage difference between the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor so that an electric arc of controlled power is formed in order to burn dihydrogen possibly coming from the tank and/or from the circuit. Thus, dihydrogen does not accumulate in undesired places in the apparatus.

摘要: Fuel systems, apparatus and associated methods for preventing or hindering unwanted fuel transfer between fuel tanks of aircraft are described. An exemplary apparatus comprises a conduit portion disposed inside a fuel tank for receiving fuel in the first fuel tank. The conduit portion includes an orifice through a wall of the conduit. The orifice permits venting an interior of the conduit portion to an interior of the fuel tank to prevent unwanted fuel transfer due to siphoning. A deflector is disposed and configured to deflect a stream of fuel discharged from the orifice during fuel transfer.

摘要: Apparatus and associated methods relate to simultaneously pumping and measuring density of an aircraft fuel. The aircraft fuel is pumped by a centrifugal pump having an impeller. A rotational frequency of the impeller is determined while the centrifugal pump is pumping the aircraft fuel. Flow rate of the aircraft fuel through the centrifugal pump is sensed. Pressure of the aircraft fuel is measured at two different points within or across the centrifugal pump or a differential pressure is measured between the two different points while the centrifugal pump is pumping the aircraft fuel. Density of the aircraft fuel is determined based on a head-curve relation characterizing the centrifugal pump. The head-curve relation relates the fuel density to the rotational frequency, the flow rate, and pressures at the two different points or the differential pressure between the two different points.

摘要: An aircraft fuel tank system including a fuel tank compartment for containing liquid fuel and having a float-activated valve arranged to become positively buoyant when immersed in liquid fuel so that the float moves up to a raised position which causes the valve to close and prevent liquid fuel from flowing out of the fuel tank compartment through the valve. The float is also arranged to move down to a lowered position in response to a level of the liquid fuel in the fuel tank compartment dropping, the movement of the float to the lowered position causing the valve to open and permit liquid fuel to flow out of the fuel tank compartment through the valve. A pressure-activated valve may be used as an alternative to the float-activated valve.

摘要: An airplane is provided. The airplane includes a fuel gauging and quantity estimation system with an improved estimation accuracy. The fuel gauging and quantity estimation system operates by detecting an environment of a tank comprising a liquid and selecting one or more liquid gauging algorithms based on the environment. The fuel gauging and quantity estimation system further operates by receiving sensor data characterizing the liquid of the tank and utilizing the sensor data and the one or more liquid gauging algorithms to determine a property of the liquid.
