Abstract

The invention discloses a fuel tank inerting device combining with plasmas and a photocatalysis technology. Gas-phase space fuel vapor on the upper portion of a fuel tank and an air mixture are introduced into a reactor including a plasma module and a photocatalysis module, and reaction gas is primarily decomposed in the plasma module firstly; and then under the condition of ultraviolet irradiation, a hydrocarbon is adsorbed on the surface of a catalyst to be combined with free electrons or a hole to generate a redox reaction, and the hydrocarbon is further decomposed into CO2 and H2O. After the gas subjected to reaction is dried, the gas rich in nitrogen and the CO2 flows into the fuel tank to be subjected to inerting, and the purpose of fire and explosion prevention of the fuel tank is achieved. The fuel tank inerting device has the advantages of being low in operating cost, simple in overall structure, high in removal efficiency, capable of being operated under the normal conditionand the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aviation systems, and relates to an aircraft fuel tank inerting system, in particular to a fuel tank inerting device combining plasma and photocatalysis technologies. Background technique [0002] The safety of modern aircraft has been widely concerned by the society, and fuel system combustion and explosion are one of the main causes of aircraft crashes. Statistics show that during the Vietnam War, the U.S. Air Force lost thousands of aircraft due to ground fire attacks, among which the proportion of aircraft crashes and fatalities due to the fire and explosion of aircraft fuel tanks was as high as 50%. According to the cabin safety research technical group (GSRTG) statistics of 3,726 civil aircraft accidents worldwide from 1966 to 2009, a total of 370 accidents were related to fuel tank combustion explosions. It can be seen that effective measures must be taken to prevent aircraft fuel tanks from deton...
