20090260387 | AIRCRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL COOLING SYSTEM - A cooling system for an aircraft has a refrigerant system to cool a second fluid for a use associated with an aircraft. A valve is operable to route the second fluid to be cooled by the refrigerant under a first set of conditions, and to route the second fluid to be cooled by ambient air from outside of the aircraft under a second set of conditions. | 10-22-2009 |
20100175900 | DISPATCH CRITICAL FUEL TANK INERTING SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT - An air inerting system for supplying nitrogen-enriched air to a fuel tank on a vehicle includes an air separation module. The air separation module has an inlet for receiving air to separate oxygen, and an outlet for delivering nitrogen-enriched air to a downstream fuel tank on a vehicle. Downstream parallel flow lines of the outlet are each provided with a flow control valve. The downstream parallel flow lines reconnect downstream of the flow control valves to provide a source of nitrogen-enriched air to the fuel tank. An air supply line upstream of the air separation module supplies air to at least a pair of upstream parallel lines. Each of the upstream parallel lines are provided with a shut-off valve. The upstream parallel lines reconnect downstream of the shut-off valves to supply air to a heat exchanger. Air downstream of the heat exchanger passes to the air separation module. | 07-15-2010 |
20110259546 | RAM FLOW MODULATION VALVE - A ram air system for an aircraft fluid system includes a ram duct, a diffuser, a fan and a modulating valve. The ram duct has an inlet for receiving ambient air and an outlet for discharging ambient air overboard. The diffuser is positioned within the ram duct to define a fan duct and a bypass duct. The fan is positioned within the fan duct. The modulating valve is positioned in the bypass duct. | 10-27-2011 |
20130036730 | HYBRID POWER SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR AN AIRCRAFT - A hybrid power distribution system for an aircraft generates hydraulic power from one of a plurality of power sources based on which power source provides energy most efficiently. Power sources includes an electric power distribution bus that distributes electrical energy onboard the aircraft, a pneumatic distribution channel that distributes pneumatic energy onboard the aircraft, and mechanical power provided by one or more engines associated with the aircraft. | 02-14-2013 |
