摘要:
Apparatus, systems, and methods for the efficient decomposition of ozone in an air stream from an air intake of an aircraft. The apparatus includes a titania catalyst support on a substrate, and a catalyst composition on the titania. The catalyst composition comprises a silver-based component, comprising silver metal or silver oxide, and a palladium-based component comprising an oxide of palladium or palladium metal. The air stream may be from a dedicated ambient air compressor or from bleed air from a gas turbine engine. The invention allows for the effective removal of ozone from the air stream to provide cleansed air having an ozone level of 0.1 ppm or less over a range of operating temperatures from 100 to 500° F. and above during a service period of at least 20,000 hours or a time period of not less than 5 years.

An environmental control system includes a catalytic reactor and a post treatment filter for cleaning incoming air, and a vapor cycle system for conditioning the air.
摘要:
An aircraft environmental control system includes a catalytic converter having ozone-destroying capability. A surface of the catalytic converter is anodized to form an anodized layer, and the metal oxide layer is washcoated to form a washcoat layer. An ozone destroying catalyst is impregnated in the anodized and washcoat layers. The catalyst may include one or more metals. For example, a bimetallic catalyst may include a precious metal and a transition metal.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods for the production of a secure supply of breathable air are important under conditions where threats from chemical and biological weapons may be present. A method and a multi-stage CATOX system for producing a purified air flow from ambient air which may have nitrogen containing toxicants is provided. The multi-stage CATOX system has a first stage and second stage, at least one of the first or the second stage has a first catalytic heat exchanger with a cold side supporting a first catalyst and a hot side configured to transfer heat therefrom to the first catalyst.
摘要:
A system and process to deplete or remove oxygen in the ullage of a fuel tank to reduce the oxygen/fuel vapor ratio below a lower explosion limit by exposing the ullage compounds to an oxygen removal catalyst active at a relatively low temperature. The oxygen removal catalyst may be a non-precious metal catalyst. A selective reaction of the oxygen by the catalyst forms primarily alcohols, aldehydes, and/or ketones and produces less than about 5% water by volume. The selective reaction, occurring at the relatively low temperature, reduces the risk of flammability of the fuel.

摘要:
The present invention provides an economical and efficient system for the catalytic conversion of ozone, particularly in airplane bleed air. The present invention comprises a washcoat on a single surface layer, wherein the washcoat may contain an active metal oxide which is active for ozone conversion where the metal oxide comprises a transition metal. Alternatively, the system may comprise a refractory metal oxide washcoat into which a transition metal active for ozone conversion is impregnated.
摘要:
A water purification system comprising a thermal hydrolysis catalytic reactor, an adsorbent media bed and a reverse osmosis unit is provided. The water purification system may provide potable water from non-potable water, such as non-potable water contaminated with chemical warfare agents, biological warfare agents, radioactive agents and/or Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs). Methods for providing potable water using the water purification system of the present invention are also provided.
