Abstract:
A system and method for inerting a fuel tank is disclosed. A fluid including non-condensable gas is directed from a vapor space in the fuel tank to a suction port of an ejector, and a motive fluid is directed to a motive fluid port of the ejector. The motive fluid and the non-condensable gas fluid are combined in the ejector and are directed from an outlet port of the ejector to the fuel tank. An inert gas is provided to the ejector motive fluid port, or to the second flow path, or to the first flow path.
