Air Separation Module
Parker’s air separation module (ASM) uses fiber membranes to remove oxygen from the supplied pressurized air stream and generate nitrogen-enriched air that is distributed to the fuel tanks.
Product Overview
Tech Specifications
Description
-
The air separation module (ASM) uses semi-permeable, hollow fiber membranes, packaged in a cylindrical canister that removes oxygen from a compressed air stream to generate a nitrogen enriched air (NEA) stream. Parker Aerospace's air separation modules are used in a variety of our inerting systems designed and manufactured for military, commercial, and business aircraft.
Our separation modules benefit from proprietary, higher-performance Parker fibers not available to other companies, resulting in a smaller, lighter, and less-costly system.
Parker's air separation module (ASM) keeps fuel tanks more safe, utilizing our semi-permeable hollow fiber membrane technology. The Parker fiber also has the highest performance of all available aerospace ASMs, enabling the smallest total ASM weight and package volume on the market today.
Each ASM is put through rigorous test scenarios to meet strict requirements for tolerance and resistance. Parker has broad experience in analyzing, testing, and fielding all major ASM fibers, allowing the best choice of fiber to be selected for each program or application.
As the premier world leader in fuel tank inerting systems, Parker has turned 50-plus years of inerting technology leadership into an unequalled pedigree that translates into durable, world-class products that last, flight after flight.
APPLICATIONS:
• Commercial aircraft, military fighters and transports, plus business and general aviation.
FEATURES AND ATTRIBUTES:
• Cylindrical canister contains and protects a bundle of thousands of hollow fibers that remove oxygen from the pressurized air stream.
• Fibers are potted to form a tube sheet at either end of the canister
• Patented poly (p-phenylene oxide) PPO material is used to provide high permeability
• An inlet port is provided at one end of the canister and a Nitrogen Enriched Air (NEA) port is located on the opposite end
Permeate gas flow in the form of oxygen enriched air (OEA) is transferred to an OEA port located on the outer diameter of the canister to exit the ASM. The OEA port may be located adjacent to the inlet port.
