Initial Conclusions
Trials
- Water mist and detection/activation system controlled fire during test
- Temperature limits were exceeded, however the liner was not breached so structural integrity maintained
- Liner panels are designed to meet more stringent requirement than current MPS for suppression system
MPS
- MPS test time for a suppression system must be extended to 3 hours
- MPS divorces suppression system from detection system - Water mist system needs to be qualified with detection system
- MPS needs to include tests for smoke/gases that could escape to cabin
