Patent number: 10435171Abstract: To provide a nitrogen enriched air (NEA) supply system which easily maintains low the concentration of oxygen within a tank before fueling. In the present invention, a subsidiary pipe 20b that directly supplies NEA to a spill-back pipe 23 is provided. In a descent phase of an aircraft, the NEA is supplied to a second fuel tank 17 from the subsidiary pipe 20b. When the second fuel tank 17 is fueled after landing, the stored NEA is pushed out into a first fuel tank 15 through the spill-back pipe 23 by fuel F. Thus, the concentration of oxygen within the first fuel tank 15 can be also maintained low. Accordingly, it is possible to cut out the need for supplying the NEA before fueling, and thereby fuel the fuel tank while avoiding fuel explosion.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: MITSUBISHI AIRCRAFT CORPORATIONInventor: Koki Fukuda

Patent number: 9963239Abstract: To provide a system which supplies nitrogen enriched air (NEA) produced by using bleed air as a supply source of the NEA to a fuel tank, and which can further improve the fuel consumption. The present invention employs an NEA supply system 10 that controls a supply in a flow control valve (FCV) 11 so as to obtain a supply flow rate Fs as a value obtained by adding a small margin flow rate Fm to a required amount Fn of nitrogen enriched air required to be supplied to a first fuel tank 15, in at least a part of a descent phase of an aircraft 100. Accordingly, explosion of the first fuel tank 15 can be prevented, and the fuel consumption of an engine 1 can be improved in the descent phase.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: MITSUBISHI AIRCRAFT CORPORATIONInventor: Koki Fukuda

Patent number: 9272790Abstract: The present invention intends to extend the operating life of an air separation module (ASM) in a nitrogen enriched air (NEA) supply system by controlling the temperature of bleed air as a supply source of the NEA. The NEA supply system produces NEA that is enriched with nitrogen upon supply of source gas during a flight through an ascent phase, a cruising phase, and a descent phase, and supplies the NEA to a fuel tank, the system including: an air separation module that separates oxygen and nitrogen in the source gas; and a temperature regulation mechanism that regulates a temperature of the source gas supplied to the air separation module. In at least a part of a flight period through the ascent phase and the cruising phase, the temperature regulation mechanism regulates the temperature of the source gas to below a temperature of the source gas in the descent phase.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: MITSUBISHI AIRCRAFT CORPORATIONInventor: Koki Fukuda
