METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INERTING A FUEL TANK Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64D37/32 

FIELD: mechanical engineering; motors and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an inerting device for one or more tanks (3) of fuel to an aircraft such as an airplane or a helicopter, for example, or the like. Device comprising inert gas generators supplied with air with the bleed air diverted from engines and / or air from the passenger cabin. Means for determining the necessary amount of inert gas in the fuel tanks of an aircraft is determined in real time during the application of said aircraft. Device also contains means to control of inert gas flow of the inert gas generator OBIGGS controlled distribution means of inert gas in the various tanks of fuel and/or in different compartments of a tank of the aircraft and a control unit. Control unit is configured to determine in real time the settings of the inert gas flow rate from the inert gas generator, depending on the required amount of inert gas in the aircraft tanks, said instructions being transmitted by means for determining the need for inert gas.

EFFECT: inert gas flow into the fuel tanks is improved.
