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, the first source arranged to receive fuel from the fuel tank, a second reactant source, a catalytic reactor arranged to receive a first reactant from the first source and a second reactant from the second source to generate an inert gas that is supplied to the fuel tank to fill a ullage space of the fuel tank, and a cool air source arranged to supply cool air to the catalytic reactor to provide thermal control of a reaction within the catalytic reactor, wherein the cool air is discharged from at least one of a cabin of the aircraft and an environmental control system of the aircraft.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 13 , further comprising heating the first source using a heating duct that is thermally connected to the catalytic reactor and arranged in thermal communication with the first source to provide heat from the catalytic reactor to the first source to generate the first reactant.
