    Abstract: A fuel flow control system includes a centrifugal pump, a gas inlet valve, and a control. The centrifugal pump has a fuel inlet, a gas inlet, and an outlet. The gas inlet valve is disposed upstream of the gas inlet and is responsive to valve position commands to move between a closed position, in which inert gas is prevented from flowing into the gas inlet, and a plurality of open positions, in which inert gas may flow into the gas inlet. The control is coupled to the gas inlet valve and is configured to supply the valve position commands to the gas inlet valve to command the gas inlet valve to selectively move to the closed position, such that the centrifugal pump is configured to operate as a fuel pump, or any open position, such that the centrifugal pump is configured to operate as a fuel-gas mixer.

    Abstract: A fuel deoxygenation system contactor-separator includes a fuel-gas mixture inlet section, a fuel outlet section, a gas outlet, a spiral contactor-separator, and a valve element. The fuel-gas mixture inlet section has a fuel-gas mixture inlet port. The fuel outlet section has a fuel outlet port. The gas outlet section has a gas outlet port. The spiral contactor-separator conduit has an inner wall and an outer wall that defines a spiral contactor-separator flow passage. The spiral contactor-separator conduit is coupled to, and is in fluid communication with, the fuel-gas mixture inlet section, the fuel outlet section, and the gas outlet section. The valve element is disposed between the fuel outlet port and the gas outlet port and is movable between a first position and a second position.

    Abstract: An aircraft fuel deoxygenation and tank inerting system includes an inert gas source, a fuel deoxygenation system, and an air/fuel heat exchanger. The inert gas source is configured to supply inert gas having an oxygen concentration of less than 3%. The fuel deoxygenation system is adapted to receive fuel from a fuel source and the inert gas from the inert gas source. The fuel deoxygenation system is configured to remove oxygen from the fuel and thereby generate and supply deoxygenated fuel and oxygen-rich purge gas. The air/fuel heat exchanger is adapted to receive compressed air from a compressed air source and the deoxygenated fuel from the fuel deoxygenation system. The air/fuel heat exchanger is configured to transfer heat from the compressed air to the deoxygenated fuel, to thereby supply cooled compressed air and heated deoxygenated fuel.
