<p>An inflation system for inflating an inflatable evacuation slide (106) includes an enclosure (108) containing an uninflated, stored evacuation slide (106). The enclosure (108) is sealed by means of a tightly fitting enclosure door (114) that optionally includes a seal for excluding dirt and moisture. The system also includes a source (110) of pressurized gas comprising a conventional pyrotechnic gas generator, stored pressurized gas, or hybrid inflator. The inflation system includes an overpressure relief vent (209), which vents inflation gas outside of the inflatable member in the event of an overpressure condition in the gas source. The overpressure relief vent (209) includes a directional vent connected to a conduit (310). The conduit (310) passes from the overpressure relief vent (209) to an opening in the aircraft fuselage, which allows any vented gas to be safely directed away from the inflation system enclosure (108). <IMAGE></p> |
