Abstract

960,559. Fuel system safety devices. GARRETT CORPORATION. Dec. 18, 1962, No. 47765/62. Heading A5A. [Also in Division F1] A safety arrangement for all or part of a fuel system, e.g. a system incorporating an engine or combustor supplied with combustible fuel from a fuel store, comprises a casing to enclose all or part of the system and to receive and fuel leakage, a reservoir of inert gas under pressure which communicates with the casing via an inlet valve which is opened to admit inert gas when a predetermined pressure drop occurs in the casing, and an outlet valve between the easing and means independant of the fuel system for burning the leakage, the outlet valve being opened by a predetermined pressure rise in the casing due to fuel leakage. In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a gas turbine engine 2, liquid hydrogen fuel tank 4 and associated feed means 3, 5 and 6 are contained within the casing 1 filled with helium gas fed from the reservoir 10 via the pressureresponsive valve 12. A conduit 13 connects the casing to the exhaust system of the turbine 8 via a pressure-responsive valve 16, the inert gas/fuel leakage mixture passing to the turbine exhaust system where it is ignited either by contact with the exhaust gases or, if the engine is not operating, by the pilot burner 17 (operated from the fuel system).
