Abstract
A decontamination system for removing bleed air contamination comprising an enclosure defining a cavity; an inlet fluidly coupled to the cavity, the inlet configured to receive air into the cavity; an outlet fluidly coupled to the cavity, the outlet configured to discharge the air from the cavity; a bed located within the cavity fluidly coupled to the inlet and the outlet; the bed comprising a substrate with decontamination materials attached to the substrate; and a compressor bleed air system fluidly coupled to the inlet and an on-board oxygen generation system fluidly coupled to the outlet.
Claims11
A decontamination system for removing bleed air contamination comprising:
- an enclosure defining a cavity;
- an inlet fluidly coupled to said cavity, said inlet configured to receive air into said cavity;
- an outlet fluidly coupled to said cavity, said outlet configured to discharge said air from said cavity;
- a bed located within said cavity fluidly coupled to said inlet and said outlet;
- said bed comprising a substrate with decontamination materials attached to said substrate;
- a heater within the enclosure, the heater fluidly coupled to said substrate configured to heat said substrate to a predetermined temperature configured to cause reaction of the decontamination materials with contaminants in said bleed air;
- and
- a gas turbine engine compressor bleed air system fluidly coupled to said inlet and an on-board oxygen generation system fluidly coupled to said outlet.
A gas turbine engine equipped with a compressor bleed air decontamination system comprising:
- a bleed air supply line;
- an enclosure defining a cavity;
- an inlet fluidly coupled to said cavity, said inlet configured to receive bleed air into said cavity from a compressor bleed air supply pipe;
- an outlet fluidly coupled to said cavity, said outlet configured to discharge said air from said cavity into on-board oxygen generator system;
- a bed located within said cavity fluidly coupled to said inlet and said outlet;
- said bed comprising a substrate with decontamination materials attached to said substrate;
- and
- a heater within the enclosure, the heater fluidly coupled to said substrate configured to heat said substrate to a predetermined temperature configured to cause reaction of the decontamination material with contaminants in said bleed air.
