APPENDIX A

System Particulars

1. This theory of operation is based on the generic design. The Aircraft Fire Rescue Training Facility

(AFRTF consists of an aircraft mock-up, burn area, control stand, liquid propane fuel system, water conservation pond, pumps, and air compressor.

2. The aircraft mock-up, located in the burn area, is constructed of non-coated/unpainted carbon steel. It is approximately 72 feet long, 25 ft high at tip of tail, with a wingspan of 72 feet. The mock-up is configured with three simulated aircraft engines, two on the right wing and one located on the vertical stabilizer. Each engine contains one burner assembly and two igniters. The wiring to the engine igniters are enclosed in a U.L. approved cellular raceway, which is protected by a water jacket that further protects it from possible failure due to extreme heat. Water injection is located in both wing engines and in the tail engine. The wing engines also have dams installed to simulate a flowing fuel type fire. Wheel well and auxiliary power unit fires are simulated on the right side of the fuselage adjacent to the inboard engine. In the interior of the mock-up, igniters and burners are installed to simulate flight deck, battery box, passenger compartment, and cargo box fires. A water sprinkler system is installed in the top of the mock-up to cool and washout the mock-up. An expansion joint is located midway on the fuselage to allow for expansion and contraction during the training. Cutout panels are located on the left and right aft sides of the fuselage. These 36 inches x 84 inches replaceable panels are constructed of .031-inch-thick sheet metal. The panels are used to simulate emergency entrance into an aircraft. Two steel-hinged doors are located at the forward left and left amid the ships.

3. The burn area is 110 feet in diameter. High temperature high strength concrete lines the entire burn area.

The mockup is raised above the concrete to simulate a flight line position. 12 to 24 inches below the concrete surface is one 60-mil thick high-density polyethylene (HDPE) liner.

4. There are 6 igniters and burners installed in the ribbon fire divided into 6 individually operated sectors, each designed to simulate flammable liquid ground fires. They are located on the left and right sides of the forward fuselage, between the right-wing engines, under the left wing, and on the left and right sides of the aft fuselage. There are 18 igniters and related burners installed on the mockup.

5. Located on the fuel operator control stand, are the valves, solenoids and switches used to control the propane flow and igniters during training events. Turning off the master/emergency switch located on the control stand will turn off power to all igniters and close the coax valves located at each fire scene.

The propane piping, water piping and electrical conduits from the control stand to the burn area are located in an underground HDPE lined trench. Burners which require increased or decreased flame sizing is accomplished via the flame control momentary high-flame push button located on the control panel.

6. The liquid propane system supplies fuel for training exercises. Propane from 10,000-WC (water capacity) tank to the various burners in the burn area through a series of pipes and valves.

7. Flammability limits between vapor and liquid are very little. Liquid propane has a boiling point of –44 degrees Fahrenheit. A propane pump may be installed to obtain adequate pressure, if applicable. A corresponding valve located on the control stand, controls propane flow to each individual burner.

Safety features of the propane system are provided to stop the flow of fuel to the burners, and will include pneumatic, manual, and emergency shut-off valves located on the control stand and, in the ribbon, and access trenches in the weir. Pressure relief valves are installed on the piping as required by NFPA Standard 58.

8. The water conservation pond is 72 feet by 72 feet square and 6 feet maximum depth. It is lined with 60-mil thick HDPE. Unlike the burn area, the liner is not covered. Two pumps are used to supply necessary water to/from the AFRTF.

NOTE: Ensure a .PDF copy of Air Force Technical Order 35E1-2-13-1, Aircraft Fire Training Facility is provided.
