| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for inerting a tank (S) of fuel (6) of a moving aircraft and to a related device (1a, 1b, 1c). Said method includes dispensing an inerting gas into said tank (5) while the volume (V) of fuel (6) in said tank (5) decreases as a result of the engine(s) of said aircraft consuming the fuel. Said method characteristically includes: keeping at least one tank (2) pressurized using an inerting gas consisting of at least 90% nitrogen in volume, generated by combusting and/or decomposing separate solid loads (8), at least some of said loads (8) being, for the purpose of keeping said tank under pressure, ignited differently and independently from one another in the patent application; and continuously supplying pressurized inerting gas from said at least one tank (2) into the free space (v) of said tank (5) of fuel (6) in expansion, such as to inert said free space (v). The pressure inside said tank (2) is monitored while said supplying of inerting gas is carried out. |
