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 12):
A method of inerting fuel comprises:\n separating fuel into a first portion of fuel and a second portion of fuel; directing the first portion of fuel to a catalytic oxidation unit; combusting the first portion of fuel in the catalytic oxidation unit to produce inert gas; routing the inert gas to a location requiring the inert gas; directing the second portion of fuel to a gas separator, wherein the second portion of fuel contains dissolved gases; degassing the second portion of fuel by removing carbon oxide in the gas separator to produce degassed fuel; and directing the degassed fuel to an outlet.
