Abstract:
A fuel tank inerting system uses a catalytic oxidation unit to combust fuel from the fuel tank to produce inert gas, simultaneously working with a gas separator that removes dissolved carbon dioxide from the fuel before it is cycled to the thermal management system (TMS) or the engine. This prevents cavitation of carbon dioxide (gaseous bubbling) within the fuel at varying temperatures while in flight.

Claim (Index 1):
An inert gas generation system for a fuel tank comprises:\n a catalytic oxidation unit configured to receive and combust a first portion of fuel from the fuel tank to produce an inert gas; an inert gas line configured to receive the inert gas from the catalytic oxidation unit and direct the inert gas to the fuel tank, wherein a portion of the inert gas dissolves in fuel inside the fuel tank; and a gas separator unit configured to receive a second portion of fuel from the fuel tank, wherein the second portion of fuel contains dissolved carbon dioxide, and wherein the gas separator unit is configured to remove the dissolved carbon dioxide from the second portion of the fuel.
