    摘要: A check valve assembly includes a first flapper, a second flapper, an internal passage formed by the first flapper and the second flapper, and a nozzle disposed within the internal passage and configured to generate an internal flow in the internal passage. In response to a fluid flow through the check valve assembly, the first flapper and the second flapper are configured to move between an open position allowing the internal flow through the internal passage and an outer flow outside the internal passage, and a closed position preventing flow through the internal passage. When the first flapper and the second flapper are operably in the open position, the internal flow has a lower pressure than the outer flow outside of the internal passage, such that the first flapper and the second flapper are maintained in the open position.

    摘要: An aircraft fuel system includes a first fuel storage tank arranged to store a first fuel, a second fuel storage tank arranged to store a reduced oxygen fuel, and a fuel tank inerting system arranged to provide a reduced oxygen gas through a fuel contained within the second fuel storage tank to generate the reduced oxygen fuel within the second fuel storage tank. The fuel tank inerting system may include a fuel tank sparging system to inject the reduced oxygen gas directly into the fuel contained within the second fuel storage tank to generate the reduced oxygen fuel.

    摘要: A fuel oxygen reduction unit for an engine is provided. The fuel oxygen reduction unit includes a contactor including a fuel inlet that receives an inlet fuel flow and a stripping gas inlet that receives an inlet stripping gas flow, the contactor configured to form a fuel/gas mixture; a separator that receives the fuel/gas mixture, the fuel oxygen reduction unit defining a circulation gas flowpath from the separator to the contactor; and a level control device that controls a level of the fuel/gas mixture inside the separator by regulating the inlet fuel flow to the contactor.
