Abstract
A system for generating an inert fluid, the system being carried on board an aircraft, the generation system including a plurality of devices configured each, in succession, to execute a separation of components of a primary fluid initially collected in the form of compressed hot air, the system including at least one heat exchanger configured to execute a separation of components, by change of phase of a component of the primary fluid, executing a cooling of the primary fluid using liquid hydrogen, supplied with liquid hydrogen collected from a tank of the aircraft. It is thus possible to generate an inert gas without requiring membrane separation of the nitrogen and the oxygen, and while at the same time making it easier to warm the liquid hydrogen stored and used in the aircraft as a source of energy.
