CA 2678904

A water scavenging system (1) for removing water from an aircraft fuel tank (2), the water scavenging system comprising: a water line (10); and a valve (20) which is configured to control the flow of water in the water line in response to a change in an effective angle of the valve. In use, the valve opens automatically in response to an increase in the effective pitch of the aircraft during take off and climb. The valve comprises: a pendulum (40); and a valve closure member (46) which is coupled to the pendulum such that a change in the angular position of the pendulum relative to the water line causes the valve closure member to move from a closed position in which the valve closure member impedes the flow of water in the water line to anopen position in which water can flow through the valve.

L'invention concerne un système de récupération d'eau (1) permettant de retirer l'eau d'un réservoir de carburant d'avion (2). Ledit système comporte : une conduite d'eau (10) et une soupape (20) conçue pour réguler l'écoulement d'eau dans la conduite d'eau en réponse à un changement de l'angle effectif de la soupape. En utilisation, la soupape s'ouvre automatiquement en réponse à une augmentation de l'inclinaison effective de l'avion pendant le décollage et l'ascension. La soupape comporte : un pendule (40) et un élément de fermeture de soupape (46) couplé au pendule de sorte qu'un changement de la position angulaire du pendule par rapport à la conduite d'eau amène l'élément de fermeture de soupape à se déplacer d'une position fermée, dans laquelle l'élément de fermeture de soupape empêche l'écoulement d'eau dans la conduite d'eau, à une position ouverte, dans laquelle l'eau peut s'écouler par la soupape.
