Fuel tank inerting systems for aircraft are described. The systems include a fuel tank, a pressurized air source, an air separation module arranged between the pressurized air source and the fuel tank, the air separation module configured to generate an inerting gas from pressurized air supplied from the pressurized air source and supply the inerting gas to the fuel tank, an upstream thermal conditioning system arranged upstream of the air separation module, the upstream thermal conditioning system configured to increase a temperature of the pressurized air prior to entry into the air separation module, and a downstream thermal conditioning system arranged downstream of the air separation module, the downstream thermal conditioning system configured to decrease a temperature of the inerting gas prior to entry into the fuel tank.
