Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel stabilization system capable of removing dissolved oxygen from fuel to raise fuel temperature and being adapted to different demand conditions for removing oxygen. SOLUTION: This fuel stabilization system 10 is provided with a fuel tank 12 for supplying fuel to an engine 15 by a fuel pump 14. Dissolved oxygen is removed from fuel by a fuel stabilization assembly 16 provided with a plurality of oxygen removers 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 arranged in parallel. A part 30 of dissolved oxygen is removed from fuel by each fuel oxygen remover and is exhausted to the outside. Temperature of flowing-in fuel is within a scope of limit temperatures for preventing promotion of generation of insoluble substance under the presence of dissolved oxygen. Since fuel flowing out of the fuel stabilization assembly 16 contains less amount of dissolved oxygen, it is possible to heat fuel up to higher temperatures. Fuel is moved and heated by a heat transfer device 32. Efficiency of the engine is improved by improved temperature characteristic of fuel. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Abstract: A method for preventing fuel from migrating, i.e., infiltrating, into a mircoporous polymer membrane (16), such as that used in a fuel deoxygenator device (14) of an aircraft to remove dissolved oxygen from the fuel, includes heating the membrane (16) to reduce the size of micropores (32) in the membrane (16) from a first size (38) to a second size (46) that is large enough to allow migration of oxygen through the membrane (16) and small enough to prevent migration of fuel into the membrane (16). The membrane (16) is an amorphous fluoropolymer on a PVDF substrate and the micropores (32) are reduced in size by heating the membrane (16) at a temperature between 130 DEG C and 150 DEG C for 2 hours.

Abstract: A deoxygenator (10) includes a plurality of permeable membranes (22) spirally wound about an exhaust tube (14) for removing dissolved oxygen from a hydrocarbon fuel. The permeable membrane (22) is spirally wrapped about the exhaust tube (14) and defines fuel passages (28) and exhaust passages (30). The fuel passages (28) and exhaust passages (30) alternate such that each fuel passage (28) is bounded on each adjacent side by an exhaust passage (30). An oxygen partial pressure differential is generated across the permeable membrane (22) to draw dissolved oxygen from fuel in the fuel passage (28). The dissolved oxygen is then communicated through openings (34) about the circumference of the exhaust tube (14) and out the deoxygenator (10).

Abstract: A fuel system for an energy conversion device includes a deoxygenator system with an oxygen permeable membrane formed from a multiple of layers. T he layers include a sealant layer, an oxygen permeability layer and a porous backing layer. The layered composite oxygen permeable membrane maximizes the oxygen transfer rate and minimizes the fuel leakage rate.

Abstract: A fuel stabilization system includes a first deoxygenator and a second deoxygenator both for removing dissolved oxygen from a hydrocarbon fuel. The first and second deoxygenators are arranged in parallel or series to sequentially remove a portion of dissolved oxygen from the hydrocarbon fuel. The arrangement of several deoxygenators for a single fuel stream improves removal of dissolved oxygen and provides for scalability of the fuel system to meet application specific demands. The arrangement also provides for the preservation of partial syste m functionality in the event of the failure of one of the deoxygenator modules .

Abstract: A fuel system for an energy conversion device includes a deoxygenator syst em with a porous membrane. The deoxygenator includes an oxygen receiving channe l separated from the fuel channel by the porous membrane. The capillary forces counteract the pressure differential across the membrane, preventing any leakage of the fuel, while the oxygen concentration differential across the membrane allows for deoxygenation of the fuel through the porous membrane.

Abstract: A cooling system for a gas turbine engine includes a fuel deoxygenator f or increasing the cooling capacity of the fuel. The fuel deoxygenator removes dissolved gases from the fuel to prevent the formation of insoluble deposits . The prevention of insoluble deposits increases the usable cooling capacity of th e fuel. The increased cooling capacity of the deoxygenated fuel provides a greater heat sink for cooling air used to protect engine components. The improved cooling capacity of the cooling air provides for increased engine operating temperatures that improves overall engine efficiency.

Abstract: A fuel based thermal management system includes a fuel stabilization system which permits the fuel to exceed the traditional coking temperatures. High temperature components are arranged along the fuel flow path such that even at the highe r operating temperatures the fuel operates as a heat sink to transfer heat from high temperature components to the fuel. An optimal high temperature ester-based oil permits an oil-loop to exceed current oil temperature limits and achieve a high temperature to permit efficient rejection of heat to the fuel late in the fuel flow path.
