Download or read book Integrated Aircraft Fuel Tank Fire and Explosion Protection Systems Phase 1 and 2 written by Q. C. Malmberg and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft fuel tank fire and explosion protection techniques are described in this two part report which covers both state-of-the-art and advanced concepts. The state-of-the-art section reviews, in handbook form, the fire and explosion protection techniques currently available for immediate aircraft incorporation. These fire protection techniques include open celled flexible foam, closed cell rigid foam, purge mats, and fire extinguishing systems. Both fully packed and voided reticulated foam, nitrogen inerting, fuel fogging, and extinguisher type explosion suppression systems are discussed under the heading of explosion protection techniques. The advanced explosion protection technique section includes descriptions of on-board nitrogen generating concepts and combination systems of foam/nitrogen/fuel-air fog. In addition, the data and results from a small scale test program evaluating the combination type protection concepts is presented.

Download or read book Integrated Aircraft Fuel Tank Inerting and Compartment Fire Suppression System Volume 2 Evaluation of Nitrogen Enriched Air as a Fire Suppressant written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft onboard generation of nitrogen-enriched air (NEA) for fuel tank inerting offers significant advantages over the stored nitrogen concept currently in use. Additionally, the excess NEA generated in flight offers a potential fire extinguishing agent. To evaluate this potential, a small scale test apparatus was designed based on a survey of actual aircraft fires. Tow configurations, were used to simulate fires dominated by either forced convection or free convection. The fire types investigated were pool, spray, hot surface and combat damage. Test variables included air temperature, fuel type, fuel flow rate and surface temperature. Prior to developing conclusions on the effectiveness of NEA, verification tests were run using other common extinguishing agents (CO2, LN2, and Halon 1301). The quantity of agents required corresponded well with accepted levels based on previous tests. Several important findings were made. The data, presented in terms of volume percentage (air + extinguishant flow) of extinguishing agent required for fire knock-down, indicates the hot surface fire type to be the most severe. A volume concentration of 72% NEA9 (9% oxygen by volume) was found to be effective in knocking down the hot surface fire. While this concentration is high, when compared on weight basis, NEA compares favorably with other agents.

This book was released on 1997-09-18 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reduction of the fire hazard of fuel is critical to improving survivability in impact-survivable aircraft accidents. Despite current fire prevention and mitigation approaches, fuel flammability can overwhelm post-crash fire scenarios. The Workshop on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety was held November 19-20, 1996 to review the current state of development, technological needs, and promising technology for the future development of aviation fuels that are most resistant to ignition during a crash. This book contains a summary of workshop discussions and 11 presented papers in the areas of fuel and additive technologies, aircraft fuel system requirements, and the characterization of fuel fires.

Download or read book Development of High Temperature Fire and Explosive Suppression Systems written by Joseph P. Gillis and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A program was conducted to develop and evaluate an aircraft chemical extinguishant fire and explosion suppression system for use in high ambient temperature areas of aircraft. System performance was investigated in simulated aircraft fuel tanks of 100, 500 and 1000 gallons capacity. The combustibles used to create the fires and explosions were JP-4 and JP-5 fuels. The ignition sources utilized were small arms ammunition and electric sparks. Suppression system components have been subjected to qualification tests. A functioning system was subjected to a fuel slosh test and agent distribution test in a 67 gallon cylindrical tank. The system developed can substantially reduce the explosion hazard potential associated with the penetration of incendiary projectiles into the flammable ullage volume of aircraft fuel tanks.

Download or read book Aircraft Fuel Cell Explosion Suppression Systems and Their Applicability to Army Aircraft written by George H. Custard and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study covered by this report has focused attention upon the potential means of protecting the vapor spaces of Army aircraft fuel systems from the threat of fire and explosions caused by incendiary ammunition hits. As a means of implementing and quantifying passive defense data, the fuel containment of 16 models of Army aircraft has been studied and their capacity, location, shape, surface area, empty weight, and tank material determined. These data have been used in conjunction with the parameters of the potential vapor space protection techniques to provide estimates of the weight penalties and dollar costs associated with the passive defense measures applied to the aircraft of interest. Data relative to the fuel systems of the following aircraft are presented: UH-1B, UH-1D, U-1A, U-6A, U-8D, U-8F, OH-6, OH-13, 01-F, OV-1A, OV-1B, OV-1C, CH-34, CH-37, CH-47, and CH-54. The passive defense measures which have been reviewed and considered by the study include: inert gas purging, fire detection and suppression by chemical means, collapsible internal tank bladders, reticulated foam tank fillers, and the direct addition of halocarbons to fuel.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the research conducted by the contractor on airplane engine compartment and fuel tank fire safety research. The value of ground testing, using the Aircraft Engine Nacelle (AEN) and the Simulated Aircraft Fuel Tank Environment (SAFTE) facilities, was clearly evident as the testing proceeded. Extinguishant tests of simulated nacelle fires indicated that current criteria for extinguishant concentration and duration were more than adequate for intact nacelles inert gas generator systems (OBIGGS) revealed that both the permeable membrane and molecular sieve adequately inerted the test fuel tank. However, some minor operational difficulties were experienced with both test units which would have to be corrected prior to producing flight hardware. Keywords: Engine fires; Fuel fires, Fire protection; Inerting; OBIGGS; Halon; Nitrogen enriched air.
