Abstract:
A fuel tank inerting system for an aircraft, the system comprising: a fuel tank, and a catalytic heat exchanger. The catalytic heat exchanger comprises a first flow path and a second flow path for heat exchange with the first flow path, as well as a first inlet arranged upstream of the first flow path of the catalytic heat exchanger for providing a mixture of fuel vapour and oxygen to the first flow path for sustaining a catalysed reaction, and a second inlet arranged upstream of the second flow path for providing a flow of fuel from the fuel tank to the second flow path of the catalytic heat exchanger for exchanging heat with the first flow path. The system further comprises a transfer pipe in heat exchange with the fuel tank, wherein the transfer pipe is arranged to receive fuel from the second flow path of the catalytic heat exchanger.

Claim (Index 7):
A fuel tank inerting system as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a fuel conditioner upstream of the second inlet for controlling the temperature of the fuel entering the second flow path of the catalytic heat exchanger.
