Patent ID: 7951228

Claim:
A self-propelled vehicle, particularly an aircraft, comprising: an inerting system based on air separation membranes, first and second air lines arranged in parallel positioned between an air inlet connected to a compressed air source and an air outlet connected to the inerting system, each of the first and second air lines comprising an associated vapor pollutant filtration means, wherein each of the vapor pollutant filtration means comprise adsorption filtration means of the molecular sieve and/or active carbon type, at least one particle filtration means positioned between the air inlet and the air outlet, at least one coalescence filtration means positioned between the air inlet and the air outlet, and regulating means for selectively regulating the air between the first and second air lines so as to allow the vapor pollutant filtration means of the first air line and the vapor pollutant filtration means of the second air line to operate and be regenerated alternately.
