ABSTRACT:
A gas generating system (10) including a baffle system for cooling a gas generated by the gas generating system. The baffle system (40) includes a first enclosure and a second enclosure (80) spaced apart from a wall (14) of the first enclosure to define a first fluid flow passage (86) extending between the second enclosure (80) and the wall (14). The second enclosure (80) defines a baffle chamber (92) therein. The second enclosure (80) also includes at least one opening (94) for enabling fluid communication between a gas source and the second enclosure baffle chamber (92), and at least one opening (96) for enabling fluid communication between the second enclosure baffle chamber (92) and the first fluid flow passage (86). A third enclosure (32) is also provided spaced apart from the wall (14) of the first enclosure to define a second fluid flow passage (98) extending between the third enclosure (32) and the wall (14). The second fluid flow passage (98) is in fluid communication with the first fluid flow passage (86). The third enclosure (32) defines a baffle chamber (102) therein, and also includes at least one opening (104) for enabling fluid communication between the second fluid flow passage (98) and the third enclosure baffle chamber (102), and at least one opening (106) for enabling fluid communication between the third enclosure baffle chamber (102) and an exterior of the gas generating system. A method for cooling gases is also disclosed.
