The way the NGS work is actually better described as an oxygen level reduction system, it does not actually generate any Nitrogen. Compressed air from the engine bleed enters the system and the system removes some of the oxygen, that “oxygen enriched air” is dumped overboard. You end up with “nitrogen enrich air” that gets pumped into the tank. The key thing to keep in mind is the system does not actually generate any nitrogen, it really removing a small amount of oxygen. The other thing is the tank is rendered inert not with pure nitrogen but with nitrogen enriched air. Regular air is 21% oxygen, the NGS REMOVES enough oxygen to make the air roughly 15% oxygen (roughly the same as the air you exhale). That relatively small reduction in the oxygen level is enough to get the level low enough that it won’t support combustion.

Well said, same system on 787. Better described as an Oxygen reducing system resulting in higher N2.

All good except I don’t agree that we exhale 15% oxygen. Our oxygen uptake is minimal. The main function of breathing out is to export CO2. The exhaled air is rich in CO2 but still contains around 20% oxygen

Question: I was watching some other channel about an aircraft always pumping in air, making sure more air is pumped out than let out or the other way around. But when they are in cruise surely the air going out and in is the same to maintain that cabin altitude. I wonder if you could help shine a light
@DareTheMachine
@DareTheMachine 2 жыл бұрын
At higher altitudes the cabin is pressurized (more air pumped in than out) since atmospheric pressure is lower the higher you climb.

I was a crew chief on USAF fighters and the F-16 has a similar system where Halon is injected into all the fuel tanks when the aircraft is in combat mode This is done in case there is damage to a tank by a bullet etc the void space will not have flammable vapors to ignite. Unfortunately the environmentalists made us take all the Halon tanks because they thought they threatened the ozone layer. This system didn't help much if hit by a missile.

Oxygen enriched air produced isint pure oxygen needed for proper oxygenation to offset hypoxia at higher altitudes. Thats before even considering air processing and associated oxygen safe plumbing required for delivery to passenger service units overhead as that would almist certainly involve a riser running up sidewalls of aircraft that could compromise in an accident too. In layman terms, unsuitable product.

Its such a small amount, that the added complexity and energy that it would take to pump it into the engine(s) wouldn't be worth it. I know because I had a similar idea and ask some other engineers at an SAE committee meeting about it.

He said 83,000 kilogram fuel vapacity for centrr tank. A quick calculation indicates the following: 83,000kg × 2.2 lbs = 182,600 lbs. Divide product by 8.6 lbs [a gallon of milk] the quotient us over 21,000 gallons in the center tank. I'm no engineer, but i don't think that's possible.
@FayuYang

looking at my 777 AOM here, the center tank takes 87,887KG of fuel. 1 liter of jet a fuel = 0.85KG = 74703 liter = 19734 gallons. So yes it's possible. Jet fuel is lighter than water by the way. I fly a 787, our center tank takes 71,000kg of gas. That's about 16,000 gallons of jet fuel.
