    Abstract: An aircraft inert gas generating system includes a fuel source, an air-fuel mixing unit configured to receive an amount of the fuel and an amount of air an create an air-fuel mixture, and a catalytic oxidation unit downstream of the air-fuel mixing unit and configured to receive and react the air-fuel mixture. The system further includes a condenser downstream of and in flow communication with the catalytic oxidation unit and a cabin exhaust circuit in flow communication with the condenser and configured to provide cabin exhaust air at a first temperature to the condenser. In an alternative embodiment, a pressurized air circuit can provide a stream of cooling air to the condenser. The pressurized air circuit includes a source of pressurized air and a chiller downstream of the source and configured to bring the pressurized air to a first temperature.
