Pumpvorrichtung für Flugzeug-KraftstofftanksAircraft fuel tank pumping device

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf Pumpvorrichtungen für den Einsatz in Flugzeug-Kraftstofftanks. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine derartige Vorrichtung in einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform zu schaffen.The present invention relates to pumping devices for use in aircraft fuel tanks. The invention The object of the invention is to provide such a device in an expedient embodiment.

Eine Pumpvorrichtung für den Einsatz in einem Flugzeug-Kraftstofftank gemäß der Erfindung ist gekennzeichnet durch eine Kreiselpumpe mit einer Einrichtung zum Abscheiden eines in der Pumpe beim Betrieb aus dem von der Pumpe geförderten flüssigen Kraftstoff gebildeten Dampfeinschlusses sowie einen mit einem Ausgang der Dampfabscheideeinrichtung verbundnen Kanal, der auf einem im Betrieb im Bereich des Tankbodens liegenden Abschnitt mit einer Vielzahl von Durchlässen versehen ist.A pumping device for use in an aircraft fuel tank according to the invention is characterized by a centrifugal pump with a device for separating a vapor inclusion formed in the pump during operation from the liquid fuel delivered by the pump, as well as a connected to an outlet of the vapor separator Channel, which is located on a section in operation in the area of the tank bottom with a plurality of passages is provided.

Die ßrfindungsgemäße Pumpvorrichtung wird nachstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der zugehörigen Zeichnung erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen!The pumping device according to the invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the associated Drawing explained. Show in the drawing!

Fig. 1 einen Querschnitt durch eine Pumpvorrichtung und Fig. 2 eine Teilansicht entsprechend dem Pfeil 2 in Fig. 1.1 shows a cross section through a pump device and FIG. 2 shows a partial view according to arrow 2 in FIG. 1.

In Fig. 1 1st rait 10 ein Kraftstofftank bezeichnet, der z. B.ein Tragflächentank sein kann und eine Kreiselpumpe 11 enthält. Die Kreiselpumpe 11 besitzt einen Rotor 12., der einen Teil des Rotors eines elektrischen Induktionsmotors darstellt. Der Rotor 12 enthält ein Paar von kegelstumpfförmigen Bauteilen 13 und 14, die im Betrieb dazu dienen, einen Luf t/Dampf -Eins ehluß in der Kreiselpumpe 11 abzuscheiden, der sich aus dem zu einem Ausgang 15 geförderten flüssigen Kraftstoff gebildet hat. Luft und Dampf in den Bauteilen 13 und \K werden über einen weiteren Ausgang 16 in einen Kanal 17 abgeführt. Der Kanal YJ weist einen Abschnitt 18 auf, der in Pig. 2 näher dargestellt ist und dicht am Boden des Kraftstofftanks 10 liegt. Der Abschnitt. 18 ist mit Durchlässen 19 versehen, durch die Luft und Dampf nach oben durch den im Kraftstofftank 10 befindlichen Kraftstoff hindurch austreten können.In Fig. 1 1st rait 10 denotes a fuel tank z. B. can be a wing tank and contains a centrifugal pump 11. The centrifugal pump 11 has a rotor 12, which is part of the rotor of an electric induction motor. The rotor 12 contains a pair of frustoconical components 13 and 14 which, during operation, serve to separate an air / vapor -Eins ehluß in the centrifugal pump 11, which has formed from the liquid fuel delivered to an outlet 15. Air and steam in the components 13 and \ K are discharged into a channel 17 via a further outlet 16. The channel YJ has a section 18 which is shown in Pig. 2 is shown in more detail and lies close to the bottom of the fuel tank 10. The section. 18 is provided with passages 19 through which air and steam can exit upward through the fuel in the fuel tank 10.

Der Abschnitt 18 ist netzförmig ausgebildet und bedeckt den größeren Teil des Bodens des Kraftstofftanks 10, so daß aus den Durchlässen 19 kommende Luftblasen durch den größten oder nahezu größten teil des in dem Kraftstofftank 10 befindlichen Kraftstoffes hindurchgeleitet werden. Der aus den Durchlässen 19 austretende Kraftstoffdampf wird von dem flüssigen Kraftstoff wieder aufgenommen. Die Luftblasen reißen die bereits im Kraftstoff gelöste Luft mit und tragen diese zur Kraftstoffoberfläche 20.The portion 18 is formed in the form of a network and covers the greater part of the bottom of the fuel tank 10, so that from The air bubbles coming through the passages 19 through the largest or almost the largest part of the air in the fuel tank 10 Fuel are passed through. The fuel vapor emerging from the passages 19 is replaced by the liquid fuel resumed. The air bubbles carry away the air that has already been dissolved in the fuel and carry it to the surface of the fuel 20th

Luft ,und Dampf, die sich im Kraftstofftank 10 oberhalb der Oberfläche 20 befinden, können über ein Entlüftungsventil entweichen.Air and steam that are in the fuel tank 10 above the Surface 20 are, can escape via a vent valve.
