Patent number: 10717542Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the use of the fuel cell systems on board aircraft and other passenger transportation vehicles and to methods of using heat, air, and water generated by such fuel cell systems. The heat may be used to address condensation within the aircraft. The heat may be used to help evaporate excess water that would otherwise condense in the aircraft skin. The excess water collected may be used to create humidification for cabin air. In other examples, the heat, warmed air, or warmed water may be delivered to other locations or heating systems for beneficial use.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2016Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Zodiac AerotechnicsInventors: Samuel Klassen, Franck Masset, Andreas Hoogeveen, Hanane Zraaia, Loic Bouillo, Christian Thiry, Guillaume Gager, Charles Foncin, Jakub Landa, Remko Schiphorst

Patent number: 10507345Abstract: Described are inerting systems that may be used on board an aircraft or other passenger transportation vehicle to reduce a risk of fire due to electronic components or to other elements in a compartment and to assist in preventing or extinguishing any fire or hazardous condition that may occur. The systems include a source of inert gas such as oxygen depleted air generated from a fuel cell on board the aircraft. The oxygen depleted air or other inert gas is conveyed through ducts to compartments that house the electronics, thus changing the conditions in the compartment to be less conducive to fire.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2016Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Zodiac AerotechnicsInventors: Samuel Klassen, Franck Masset, Andreas Hoogeveen, Hanane Zraaia, Loic Bouillo, Christian Thiry, Guillaume Gager, Charles Foncin, Jakub Landa, Remko Schiphorst
