AIRCRAFT AND METHOD OF MANAGING EVAPORATED CRYOGENIC FUEL |
| 摘要 |
A method of managing evaporated cryogenic fuel in a storage tank of a cryogenic fuel system of an aircraft and an aircraft having at least one turbine engine providing propulsive force for the aircraft and a cryogenic fuel system including a passively cooled cryogenic fuel storage tank located within the aircraft, a pressure vent fluidly coupled to the cryogenic fuel storage tank and exhausting evaporated gas from the cryogenic fuel to define a natural gas vent stream, and a catalytic converter fluidly coupled to the pressure vent. |

1. An aircraft comprising:
at least one turbine engine providing propulsive force for the aircraft; and a cryogenic fuel system comprising:
a cryogenic fuel storage tank located within the aircraft;a pressure vent fluidly coupled to the cryogenic fuel storage tank and exhausting evaporated gas from the cryogenic fuel to define a natural gas vent stream; anda catalytic converter fluidly coupled to the pressure vent and receiving the natural gas vent stream and converting the natural gas vent stream into a second gas stream comprising products of oxidation. |
