Abstract
One of the objectives of CleanSky-2 project is to develop an Environmentally Friendly Fire Protection (EFFP) system (halon free fire suppression system) for the aircraft cargo hold. For this, an Aircraft Demonstrator including the cargo hold has been equipped with a nitrogen suppression system. The demonstrator is located in the Flight Test Facility low pressure vessel and can thus be subjected to realistic cruise pressure conditions and take-off and descent pressure variations. As a design tool, a zonally refined simulation model to predict the local oxygen and nitrogen concentration distribution in the cargo hold has been developed using the Indoor Environment Simulation Suite (IESS). The model allows for fast transient simulations of the suppression system operation. This paper presents a model validation case of a knockdown during cruise, followed by a holding phase and descent (repressurization of the cargo hold).
