ABSTRACT:
A stored gas inflator is operable over a wide range of initial temperatures and such that the dependence of its total output as a function of initial temperature is substantially reduced.
A vessel contains gas under pressure and has a seated outlet for the gas which is adapted to open upon command and permit passage of the gas therethrough.
A thermal reservoir element is provided.
A first exiting flowpath directs gas so that it substantially bypasses or avoids thermal contact with the thermal reservoir element.
A second exiting flowpath directs whatever gas does not leave through the first exiting flowpath through the thermal reservoir element so that the gas has substantial thermal contact with the thermal reservoir element.
A temperature-dependent flow control means varies the amount of gas passing through each of the aforementioned flowpaths.
