    摘要: Improvements in aircraft on-board inert gas generating systems wherein generally excess or surplus compressed airflow from a radial flow centrifugal compressor, produced in order to keep the compressor from surging in predetermined “reduced speed/reduced pressure ratio” operating modes, is utilized for at least one of driving a turbofan for conditioning the air separator module inlet air, or warming up/heating an air separator module in the inert gas generating system, thereby utilizing at least some of the energy of this excess/surplus compressed air that would otherwise be wasted. Several preferential operational methods and structural systems are set forth.

    摘要: This invention is directed to a method for purifying argon from an impure argon stream. If the oxygen concentration in the impure argon is less than about 10 mole percent of oxygen, the invention is proceeded in the sequential steps of a) removing chlorine from the impure argon stream; b) adding hydrogen to the impure argon stream; c) removing carbon dioxide and water from the impure argon stream; d) removing hydrogen from the impure argon stream; and e) removing nitrogen from the impure argon stream to form a purified argon stream. If the oxygen concentration in the impure argon is greater than about 10 mole percent of oxygen, the method comprises the sequential steps of a) removing chlorine from the impure argon stream; b) removing carbon dioxide and water from the impure argon stream; c) removing nitrogen and oxygen from the impure argon stream; d) adding hydrogen to the impure argon stream; e) removing water from the impure argon stream; f) removing hydrogen from the impure argon stream; and g) removing nitrogen from the impure argon stream to form a purified stream.

    摘要: A venting system (10) in an aircraft (12), where the aircraft (12) is substantially symmetrical about a midline (14), has a pair of wings (16 and 18) extending outwardly on respective sides of the midline (14), a center fuel tank (20), a surge tank (22 and 24) at outer ends of each wing (16 and 18), and optionally one or more wing fuel tanks (26 and 28) interposed between the center fuel tank (20) and the respective surge tank (22 or 24). The venting system (10) for the center fuel tank (20) includes a main vent line (30) that extends across the midline (14) to vent openings (32 and 34) communicating with respective surge tanks (22 and 24). The main vent line (30) forms a linear flow path for fluid, generally air, flowing between opposite ends of the vent line (30). The venting system (10) also includes a branch vent line (36 and 38) extending from the main vent line (30) and opening on the center fuel tank (20). The branch line has at least one fuel tank opening (40 and 42) on each side of the midline (14).

    摘要: A flammability-reducing gas distribution system (10) for an aircraft includes a conduit (20) for distributing flammability-reducing gas within the fuel tank (12) while preventing or minimizing the potential for the buildup of a column of liquid against a separating valve (24) that prevents the exit of liquid fuel from the fuel tank (12). The conduit (20) includes a trap (26) in which liquid that enters the conduit (20) will accumulate. The trap (26) includes a drain (30), such as a float drain valve, to drain liquid from the trap (26) back into the fuel tank (12). The trap (26) includes a section of the conduit (20) at a local minimum elevation between sections of conduit (20) with relatively higher elevations. Consequently, any liquid that enters the distribution conduit (20) can be captured in the trap (26), minimizing or eliminating the opportunity for a liquid column to form against the separating valve (24).
