| 摘要： | While it is well established that the shipment of a large quantity of flameless ration heaters poses a significant fire safety risk, this report examines the potential hazard associated with the use of these flameless ration heaters in an aircraft cabin and with the accidental activation of them in a confined area aboard an aircraft, such as in overhead storage bins or a cargo compartment. Tests were performed both with individual Meals, Ready-to-Eat containing flameless heaters in an open environment and multiple Meals, Ready-to-Eat in a confined space to examine their potential hazard. Temperatures in excess of 215 degrees F and violent ignition events were observed. It is evident from the tests performed that the release of hydrogen gas from these flameless ration heaters is of a sufficient quantity to pose a potential hazard on board a passenger aircraft. |
