Container with valve for storing, dispensing and transporting aircraft fuel additives, associated kit and method

Container (100) with valve for storing, dispensing and transporting aircraft fuel additives characterized in that it comprises:

• a body (10) made of a material resistant to impacts, pressure and possible attacks by any chemical agent;
• said body (10) being suitable to contain a predetermined amount of at least a chemical additive to be mixed with the aircraft fuel;
• said body (10) having a coupling end (18) suitable to allow the use and the transportation by an operator in loco;
• at least a coupling system (16), engaged at the coupling end (18) of said body (10), suitable to ensure stable but reversible connection of said body (10) to an external supply system for conveying the additive contained in said body (10) into the dispensed fuel flow;
• at least a valve system (40) comprising a valve of the mixer (31), engaged at the mixer (300) and a valve of the container (11), engaged at said coupling system (16), so as to make the additive move from said body to said mixer;
• said valve of the mixer (31) and said valve of the container (11) being complementary and exclusively combinable, so that the use of one necessarily requires the presence of the other;
• said valve of the container (11) suitable to hold the additive inside the body (10);
• said valve system (40) suitable to allow an adjustment of the flow of the additive from the container with storage valve, dispensing and transporting aircraft fuel additives (100) in the mixer (300);
• said valve of the container (11) consisting of a fixed shutter of the container (11″), suitable to come into contact with said valve of the mixer (31), and a movable shutter of the container (11′), suitable to move the internal components of said valve of the mixer (31), entering into the casing (31′) of said valve of the mixer (31) so that the additive enters into said valve of the mixer (31) by creating channels;
• said valve of the mixture (31) suitable to allow the through-flow of the adjusted flow of additive received from said valve of the container (11) into said mixer (300);
• said valve of the mixture (31) being provided with a fixed shutter of the mixer (31″), suitable to come into contact with said movable shutter of the container (11′), a slider (31″′) suitable to be moved by said fixed shutter of the container (11″), through pressure exerted by an operator in loco, so as to in turn move the movable shutter of the mixer (31″″) until it impacts against an abutment of the slider (31′″″), allowing the entry of the additive flow through the channels generated by such movements;
• at least a hermetic sealing system (12), which can be opened/closed and engaged at said coupling system (16), suitable to hermetically insulate the additive in said body (10);
• at least a compensation valve (24), engaged on said body (10), suitable to balance the internal pressure of the container during use;
• at least a level sensor or gauge (17), installed in said body (10), suitable to detect the level of the additive present in said body (10);
• at least a wired or wireless connection module, where allowed by the environment of use of the device, connected to said level sensor or gauge (17), suitable to allow the communication of the detected datum from said level sensor or gauge (17) to at least a possible alarm system (14);
• at least one said alarm system (14), engaged on said body (10) by means of a common mechanical or magnetic device and being connected by means of said possible connection module to said level sensor or gauge (17), suitable to be activated should there be detected the imminent exhaustion of the additive through a possible acoustic signaling device and/or luminous LED;
• said alarm system (14) being suitable to be activated/deactivated, by means of a microswitch, so as to allow the use thereof only under conditions where the operating environment allows it.
