New technologies are being developed by others to provide fuel tank inerting: The On-Board Inert Gas Generation System (OBIGGS) system, tested in 2004 by the FAA and NASA, with an opinion written by the FAA in 2005. [10] This system is currently in use by many military aircraft types, including the C-17. This system provides the level of safety ...
Vacuum/gas manifold setup: 1 inert gas in, 2 inert gas out (to bubbler), 3 vacuum (to cold traps) 4 reaction line, 5 Teflon tap to gas, 6 Teflon tap to vacuum Vacuum/gas manifold setup: 1 inert gas in, 2 inert gas out (to bubbler), 3 vacuum (to cold traps), 4 reaction line, 5 double oblique stopcock (i.e. a glass tap with 2 separate parallel ...
Because an inert purge gas is used, the purge procedure may (erroneously) be referred to as inerting in everyday language. This confusion may lead to dangerous situations. Carbon dioxide is a safe inert gas for purging. Carbon dioxide is an unsafe inert gas for inerting, as it may ignite the vapors and result in an explosion. [2]
The inerting systems use an inert gas generator to supply inert make-up gas instead of air. This procedure is often referred to as inerting. Technically, the procedure ensures that the atmosphere in the tank's headspace remains unignitable. The gas mixture in the headspace is not inert per se, it's just unignitable. Because of its content of ...
The device works off-grid so could prove useful in places with limited resources. Nearly 2 billion people lack clean drinking water, and 775 million live without electricity around the world.
Various safety devices prevent overpressure, the return of hydrocarbon gas to the engine room, or having a supply of IG with too high oxygen content. Gas tankers and product carriers cannot rely on flue gas systems (because they require IG with O 2 content of 1% or less) and so use inert gas generators instead. The inert gas generator consists ...
The Helms Pumped Storage Plant is located 50 mi (80 km) east of Fresno, California in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range's Sierra National Forest.It is a power station that uses Helms Creek canyon on the North Fork of the Kings River for off-river water storage [1] and the pumped-storage hydroelectric method to generate electricity.
New applications are in inkjet systems where gas in the ink forms bubbles that degrade print quality, a degassing unit is placed prior to the print head to remove gas and prevent the buildup of bubbles keeping good jetting and print quality. The above three methods are used to remove all dissolved gases. Below are methods for more selective ...
