| Abstract | More than 40 years of experience of “RD&PE Zvezda” JSC in the development of aviation fire extinguishing systems (FES) and the necessity of aircraft certification in the full-scale test facilities (sometimes in real aircraft) show that comprehensive development of FES, which takes into account design and operational features of the specific aerospace vehicle, can considerably improve real efficiency of the agent used. In some cases, when the weight limits are very stringent, it is possible to (1) abandon traditional methods of fire extinguishing, such as when the whole protected module is filled with the agent and the proper concentration of the agent is maintained for a certain period of time and (2) suppress fire by impulse discharge of the agent into the module protected. Such a method is particularly acceptable for modules with efficient ventilation systems, e g , power plant modules of aviation engines. In the front portion of the module we create a zone (lock) of high agent concentration, which, while moving with the cooling air flow, provides efficient fire suppression. |
