This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250122839 titled 'OVER-PRESSURE VENT SYSTEM FOR AN AIRCRAFT FUEL TANK
Original Abstract Submitted
an over-pressure vent (opv) system is provided for a fuel tank of an aircraft. the opv system includes an opv valve configured to be coupled in fluid communication with a supply line of a nitrogen enriched air distribution system (neads) such that the opv valve is configured to vent pressure from the supply line. the opv valve is configured to be coupled in fluid communication with the supply line upstream from an outlet of the supply line from which the neads delivers nitrogen enriched gas to the fuel tank. the opv valve is configured to sense a pressure within the supply line upstream from the outlet of the supply line.
