Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aircraft gas transport system including a high pressure gas supply line having a supply valve, and an equilibrium gas line joined at junctions with the high pressure gas supply line upstream and downstream from the supply valve, and in flow communication with the high pressure gas supply line, the equilibrium gas line having an equilibrium valve and a flow restrictor, the equilibrium valve having an exit orifice and the flow restrictor being offset from the exit orifice of the equilibrium valve.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An aircraft gas transport system comprising: a high pressure gas supply line having a supply valve and being configured to couple an aircraft gas supply to one or more pieces of equipment onboard an aircraft that receive high pressure gas from the aircraft gas supply; and an equilibrium gas line joined at junctions with the high pressure gas supply line upstream and downstream from the supply valve, and in flow communication with the high pressure gas supp…
