HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANE SEPARATOR WITH INTEGRAL OZONE CONVERTER

摘要

A modular component is provided for use in a system for inerting void spaces in aircraft. The modular component is comprised of a hollow fiber membrane and tubesheet bundle, a low-temperature ozone converter, a hollow fiber membrane shell, and separator endcaps. The ozone converter can be any low-temperature converter with an ozone removal catalyst capable of high ozone removal efficiencies in the temperature range of 100 to 300°F. The modular component may further be used in a system comprising an additional low-temperature and high-temperature ozone converter upstream of the modular component.
