摘要: This report documents the development and testing of a standardized fire source for cargo compartment fire detection systems. Note that currently, these fire sources cannot be used in actual certification flight tests. The intent of this work was to define a fire source in terms of heat release rate, mass loss rate, and smoke and gas species production rates, and then devise a safe method to simulate whichever aspect of the fire signature that the particular detection system was designed to respond to in the certification tests. This could be done singly or in some combination with smoke generators, heat guns, and the controlled release of actual or surrogate gas species. This report discusses how this fire source is used in a computational fluid dynamics model to predict the transport of smoke, gases, and heat throughout a cargo compartment. The testing concluded that the fire source used in a simulated smoldering fire mode does not produce a fire signature that would be useful in developing multicriteria fire detectors with a better capability to resist false alarms. This report also documents the amount of smoke that would be detectable in various size cargo compartments and the resultant responses of currently in-use aircraft smoke detectors from the simulated smoldering and flaming fires.
