Abstract

The invention relates to a fuel oxygen reduction unit for prescribed operating conditions. A fuel oxygen reduction unit for an engine is provided. The fuel oxygen reduction unit includes an inlet fuel line; a stripping gas source; a contactor selectively in fluid communication with the stripping gas source, the inlet fuel line, or both to form a fuel / gas mixture; and a separator that receives the fuel / gas mixture, the separator configured to separate the fuel / gas mixture into an outlet stripping gas flow and an outlet fuel flow; wherein a flow of stripping gas passes through the fuel oxygen reduction unit a single time.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter generally relates to a fuel oxygen reduction unit for an engine and a method of operation thereof. Background technique [0002] A typical aircraft propulsion system includes one or more gas turbine engines. A gas turbine engine generally includes a turbine that includes, in serial flow order, a compressor section, a combustion section, a turbine section, and an exhaust section. In operation, air is provided to the inlet of the compressor section where one or more axial compressors progressively compress the air until it reaches the combustion section. Fuel is mixed with compressed air and combusted in the combustion section to provide combustion gases. Combustion gases are channeled from the combustion section to the turbine section. The flow of combustion gases through the turbine section drives the turbine section and is then channeled through the exhaust section to, for example, the atmosphere. [0003] Certain operations and...
