Abstract: Systems and methods for generating inerting gas on vehicles are described. The systems include a proton exchange membrane (PEM) inerting system, a pure water replenishment system configured to provide pure water to the PEM inerting system, wherein the pure water replenishment system is in fluid communication with the PEM inerting system to replenish water lost during operation of the PEM inerting system, and a control system configured to control operation of the pure water replenishment system to automatically replenish pure water to the PEM inerting system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating inerting gas on vehicles are described. The systems include a proton exchange membrane (PEM) inerting system, a pure water supply system configured to provide pure water to the PEM inerting system, wherein the pure water supply system is in fluid communication with the PEM inerting system to replenish water lost during operation of the PEM inerting system, and a recapture loop configured to direct at least one of moisture and water from an output of the PEM inerting system back into the PEM inerting system, wherein the recapture loop includes a water treatment system.

Abstract: Fuel tank inerting systems for aircraft are described. The systems include a fuel tank, a first reactant source fluidly connected to the fuel tank, a second reactant source, a catalytic reactor arranged to receive a first reactant from the first source and a second reactant from the second source to generate an inert gas that is supplied to the fuel tank to fill a ullage space of the fuel tank, a heat exchanger arranged between the catalytic reactor and the fuel tank and configured to at least one of cool and condense an output from the catalytic reactor to separate out an inert gas and a byproduct, a reheater arranged between the catalytic reactor and the heat exchanger, and a recirculation loop configured to extract air from downstream of the heat exchanger, pass the extracted air through the reheater, and inject reheated air upstream of the catalytic reactor.
