| 摘要： | Twenty hand-held extinguisher tests were performed in the overhead space in both narrow- and wide-body aircraft. These tests simulated a typical hidden fire in the inaccessible area above the cabin ceiling by using a number of small, controllable candle lanterns. The purpose of the tests was to determine the performance of the Federal Aviation Administration-required, hand-held Halon 1211 extinguishers against a fire in this area when discharging the agent through a ceiling-mounted port. In an effort to maximize agent performance, the port design was modified as these tests progressed. The tests indicated that individual hand-held extinguishers did not predictably extinguish fires in the large-volume cabin overhead area typical of a wide-body aircraft, regardless of the port design. However, the use of ceiling-mounted discharge ports combined with hand-held extinguishers was more promising against fires in the more confined and smaller-volume overhead area typical of a narrow-body aircraft. |
