Abstract:
Fuel tank inerting systems and methods for aircraft are provided. The systems include a fuel tank, a first reactant source fluidly connected to the fuel tank and arranged to receive fuel from the fuel tank, a second reactant source, a catalytic reactor arranged to receive a first and second reactants from the first and second sources, respectively, to generate an inert gas that is supplied to the fuel tank to fill a ullage space of the fuel tank, a heat exchanger arranged between the catalytic reactor and the fuel tank and downstream of the catalytic reactor, the heat exchanger arranged to at least one of condense and cool an output from the catalytic reactor to separate out an inert gas and a byproduct, and a cool air source arranged to supply cool air to the heat exchanger and then the catalytic reactor to provide thermal control of the catalytic reactor.

Claim (Index 4):
The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a heating duct thermally connected to the catalytic reactor and arranged in thermal communication with the first source to provide heat to the first source to generate the first reactant.
