A gas sensor includes: an outer housing having an outer housing gas inlet and an outer housing gas outlet for receiving a flow of gas; and an inner housing disposed within the outer housing such that a gas flow passage is defined through the gas sensor between the inner housing and the outer housing to allow gas to enter the outer housing gas inlet and exit the outer housing gas outlet. The inner housing is provided with an inner housing gas inlet and an inner housing gas outlet each in fluid communication with the gas flow passage. The inner housing gas inlet and inner housing gas outlet are positioned relative to the gas flow passage such that when gas flows through the gas flow passage there is a pressure gradient across the inner housing gas inlet and inner housing gas outlet which causes gas to pass through the inner housing.

Gas sensor

A gas sensor includes: a main elongate gas chamber with a supply opening arranged on a first end of the main gas chamber and a discharge opening positioned opposite the supply opening and arranged on a second end of the main gas chamber, to permit gas to flow through the main gas chamber; a magnetic field device providing a magnetic field in the main gas chamber; and an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver sensor arranged on either the first or second end of the main elongate gas chamber for directing an ultrasonic wave along a longitudinal axis of the main elongate gas chamber, an opposite end of the main elongate gas chamber being reflective for an ultrasonic wave, or an ultrasonic transmitter sensor arranged on a first end of the main elongate gas chamber and an ultrasonic receiver sensor arranged on a second end of the main elongate gas chamber.

An aircraft fuel tank inerting system is disclosed. An aircraft fuel tank inerting system may include a paramagnetic pump arranged to apply a magnetic field to a source of gas to provide a motivational force for removing oxygen from said gas. A paramagnetic pump may include a series of magnetic field generating elements configured to provide a sequence of discrete spaced apart magnetic fields. The series of magnetic field generating elements may include a series of spaced apart pairs of magnetic field generating elements. Each spaced apart pair of magnetic field generating elements may be arranged to generate a respective spaced apart magnetic field, of the sequence of discrete spaced apart magnetic fields, across an airspace therebetween.

Fuel tank inerting

An aircraft fuel tank inerting system includes an inlet, an oxygen absorption unit, and a vent to discharge oxygen from the system. The inlet may be configured to be in fluid communication with a ullage of a fuel tank. In embodiments, the oxygen absorption unit is in communication with the inlet and includes a chamber, a temperature reversible oxygen absorption medium within said chamber, and a temperature controller for selectively heating or cooling the medium. The reversible oxygen absorption medium may be a medium which absorbs oxygen by chemisorption.

Fuel tank inerting system

A fluid system includes an inlet conduit disposed in a fluid flow path between a fluid source and a fluid destination. The fluid conduit includes a fluid mixing portion. The fluid system includes a fluid separation module disposed in the flow path downstream of the constriction between the source and the destination. The fluid separation module includes a first fluid separator. The fluid system includes a second fluid separator disposed in the flow path upstream of the first fluid separator. The fluid system includes a feedback conduit that may provide fluid communication between an outlet of the fluid separation module and the fluid mixing portion.

Fluid separation module

An on board inert gas generation system receives cabin air, or air from another relatively low pressure source, passing a portion thereof through an energy recovery turbine to ambient to extract power which is used to provide all, or part of, the energy required to drive a positive displacement compressor to compress another portion of cabin air to increase the pressure thereof to be suitable for supply to an air separation module.
