Abstract
A conditioner for conditioning fuel passing therethrough includes a deoxygenator having a body in which oxygen is removed from the fuel, and a heat exchanger attaching directly to the body for moderating a temperature of the fuel.
Claims12
A conditioner for conditioning fuel passing therethrough, said conditioner comprising:
- a deoxygenator having a body in which oxygen is removed from said fuel, said body having a surface;
- and,
- a heat exchanger attaching directly to said body and conforming to said surface for moderating a temperature of said fuel.
A fuel system for an energy conversion device comprising:
- a deoxygenator having a body in which oxygen is removed from said fuel said body having a surface;
- a heat exchanger attaching directly to said body and conforming to said surface for moderating a temperature of said fuel;
- no upstream heat exchanger attaching to said heat exchanger attaching directly to said body;
- and,
- no downstream heat exchanger attaching directly to said heat exchanger attaching directly to said body.
