GENERAL
The Fuel Tank Inerting System (FTIS) reduces the amount of oxygen
in the air within the center tank.
The FTIS is divided into:
 the Inert Gas Generation System (IGGS),
 the Conditioned Service Air System (CSAS),
 the maintenance/test facilities.
The FTIS interfaces with the following systems:
 Fuel System,
 Bleed air supply system,
 Environmental Control Systems,
 Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) / ECAM.

FUEL TANK INERTING SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

Fuel tank flammability is possible only if the three elements get
together: fuel vapor, ignition source and oxygen. To reduce the fuel
tank flammability, the fuel tank inerting system reduces the
concentration of oxygen in the center tank only.

FUEL TANK INERTING SYSTEM GENERAL VIEW

The Fuel Tank Inerting System (FTIS) is composed of two sub-
systems:
 The Conditioned Service Air System (CSAS),
 The Inert Gas Generation System (IGGS).
The CSAS takes hot air from the bleed air system and cools down
the air to a level compatible with the IGGS sub-system. The CSAS is
composed of:
 The Conditioned service air system Controller Unit (CCU),
which performs the system control and health monitoring
BITE and interfaces with the FWS and CFDS.
 A CSAS isolation valve, which protects the system in case
of low pressure, over pressure or over temperature,
 A heat exchanger to cool down the air.
The IGGS uses an Air Separation Module (ASM) to filter the
conditioned air stream, creating Nitrogen Enriched Air (NEA) and
Oxygen Enriched Air (OEA). The OEA is sent overboard. The Dual
Flow Shut Off Valve (DFSOV) controls the NEA flow to the center
tank and enables the system to switch between (low/middle/high
NEA flows) and isolates the IGGS from the fuel tank. The IGGS
controller provides system control and health monitoring/BITE. The
IGGS isolation valve is a solenoid valve. It is spring-loaded closed.
During operation the IGGS Controller Unit (ICU) controls the valve to
open, to let conditioned air from CSAS to the IGGS. It closes in case
of too low pressure and/or overtemperature air, coming from the heat
exchanger.

INERT GAS GENERATION SYSTEM

The Fuel Tank Inerting System (FTIS) includes two sub-systems:
 The Conditioned Service Air System (CSAS),
 The Inert Gas Generation System (IGGS).
The IGGS uses an Air Separation Module (ASM) to divide the
conditioned air stream into Nitrogen Enriched Air (NEA) and Oxygen
Enriched Air (OEA). The OEA is sent overboard. The Dual Flow Shut
Off Valve (DFSOV) controls the NEA flow to the center tank, lets the
system change between low/middle/high NEA flow and isolates the
IGGS from the fuel tank. The IGGS controller supplies system
control and health monitoring/BITE. The IGGS isolation valve is a
solenoid valve. It is spring-loaded closed. During operation, the
IGGS Controller Unit (ICU) controls the valve to open, to let
conditioned air from CSAS to the IGGS. It closes if conditioned air
pressure is too low and/or excessively hot from the heat exchanger.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
To inert the fuel center tank and to control and monitor the IGGS, the
IGGS includes:
 one IGGS Isolation Gate Valve
 one D-ULPA (Double ultra low particle) filter,
 one temperature sensor,
 two pressure transmitters (inlet and outlet of the ASM)
 one oxygen sensor at the outlet of the ASM,
 one Air Separation Module (ASM),
 one Dual Flow Shut Off Valve (DFSOV),
 one dual flapper check valve,
 one IGGS Controller Unit (ICU).
NORMAL OPERATION
The bleed air comes from the CSAS and it is filtered by the D-ULPA
filter to keep the ASM inlet clean, without hydrocarbons and dust.
Downstream of the D-ULPA filter, one temperature sensor and one
pressure sensor send air parameters to the ICU. The ASM, which is
the core of the IGGS, removes oxygen and sends NEA to the fuel
center tank. The OEA is sent overboard through an outlet on the
HPGC door. Downstream of the ASM, an oxygen sensor measures
the oxygen rate to prevent a high oxygen concentration in the center
tank. The oxygen sensor has a pressure sensing capability when it is
energized and thus it prevents over-pressure in the center tank. The
DFSOV controls the NEA flow to the fuel tank and lets the system
change between low/mid/high NEA flow in relation to the flight
phases. The DFSOV also isolates the IGGS from the fuel tank if an
abnormal operation occurs. A Dual Flapper Check Valve makes a
double barrier to the possible back-flow of fuel.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

ABNORMAL OPERATION
If there is overpressure or overtemperature, the ICU de-energizes
the IGGS Isolation Gate Valve solenoid to close the IGGS Isolation
Gate Valve. If the oxygen sensor senses an oxygen concentration
higher than 12%, the ICU de-energizes the IGGS Isolation Gate
Valve solenoid and the DFSOV solenoid to close the IGGS Isolation
Gate Valve and the DFSOV.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
AIR SEPERATION MODULE (ASM)

The ASM is the core of the Inert Gas Generation System. It removes
oxygen from the compressed air stream. It makes Nitrogen Enriched
Air (NEA) and Oxygen Enriched Air (OEA). The NEA is sent to the
fuel tank and the OEA is sent overboard. An ASM is a semi-
permeable hollow-fiber membrane bundle contained in a pressure
containment canister.

DUAL FLAPPER CHECK VALVE

NEA is supplied from the IGGS to the Fuel tank by the distribution
pipe and nozzle. A twin check valve system prevents fuel ingress
from the fuel tank back to the IGGS. The system is contained in one
housing that includes two in-line flapper type check valves (Dual
flapper check valve). These valves are on the outer side of the fuel
tank.

ICU INTERFACES
The ADIRU 1 supplies Standard Altitude, True Airspeed, Total Air
Temperature and Altitude Rate signals to the ICU. The CCU makes
the communication possible between the IGGS controller, the CFDIU
and the FWS. The communication between the two controllers is
also used to give the condition of each system. For example, if the
CSAS stops because of an overtemperature scenario, the CCU will
tell the ICU that the system is closed and they will compare the
readings of the sensors that come from the two systems.

MAINTENANCE/TEST FACILITIES
The CCU interfaces with the ICU. Both controllers monitor the
operational conditions independently. The CSAS receives
temperature information from the ICU and, if necessary, adjust the
Temperature. The Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU)
gives test functions of the CCU, available through the MCDU in the
cockpit. The CCU also has BITE functions of the ICU.
POWER UP TEST
When the FTIS energizes the IGGS system, the ICU does the
subsequent tests:
 ICU internal BITE,
 ARINC communication,
 isolation valve status,
 DFSOV status,
 temperature sensor status,
 pressure sensor status.
