CARGO FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM PRESENTATION

GENERAL

The cargo fire protection is provided by two systems:- The cargo smoke detection (separate FWD & AFToptional systems)

- The cargo fire extinguishing (separate FWD &AFT optional systems)

Note that the fire extinguishing system requires thesmoke detection system.

SMOKE DETECTORS

The cargo smoke detection system is installed in theFWD and in the AFT/BULK cargo compartments. Four smokedetectors are located in two cavities in the ceilingof the AFT/BULK cargo compartment and two othersdetectors in the FWD cargo compartment. The cargo smokedetectors are interconnected to each other. They arepart of a loop, containing the lavatory smokedetectors, which is connected to the Smoke DetectionControl Unit (SDCU).

SMOKE DETECTION CONTROL UNIT

For each compartment, the Smoke Detection Control Unit(SDCU) activates the warning with an AND logic toprevent false warnings. The SDCU also monitors thesmoke detectors in case of a single detection. Whenonly one cargo smoke detector detects smoke, the SDCUchecks the second detector automatically.

- If this test shows a normal operation of thesecond detector, the first detector is declaredfaulty. The result is no SMOKE warning in thecockpit.

- If this test shows an abnormal operation ofthe second detector, the SMOKE warnings areactivated. The second detector is declaredfaulty.

WARNINGS

The Smoke Detection Control Unit generates signals forcockpit local warnings, ECAM system and CargoVentilation Controller. It also provides the faultmessages to the Centralized Fault Display System(CFDS). In case of FWD or AFT/BULK smoke detection,the respective SMOKE light comes on on the CARGO SMOKEpanel. At the same time the CARGO VENTILATIONCONTROLLER closes the isolation valves of the affectedcompartment (If ventilation installed).In case of a smoke detector failure, the SDCU sendssignals to the ECAM and CFDS systems.

DISCH PUSHBUTTON

Action on one of the FWD or AFT guarded DISCHchargepushbuttons discharges the bottle in the respectivecargo compartment. When smoke is detected, the corresponding DISCHpushbutton has to be pressed, in order to fire therelative squib of the extinguishing bottle. Both DISCHlights come on when the fire extinguishing bottle isdischarged. Both DISCH lights come on when the fireextinguishing bottle is discharged.

BOTTLE

One extinguisher bottle is installed in the Forwardcargo compartment and provides fire extinguishing forthe FWD and for the AFT/BULK cargo compartment. Thebottle is equipped with a pressure switch to monitoragent pressure and two electrically firing cartridgesor squibs for agent discharges. The bottle pressureand the two squibs circuit conditions are continuouslymonitored by the SDCU. In case of bottle pressure dropor loss of electrical squib continuity, the SDCU sendssignals to the ECAM and CFDS.

TEST PUSHBUTTON

When the TEST pushbutton is pressed and held, the SCDUcarries out an automatic test. Smoke and a bottlepressure drop conditions are simulated. The smokedetectors are tested. When the TEST pushbutton ispressed and held, the SMOKE and DISCH lights on theCARGO SMOKE panel come on, and the ECAM warnings areactivated. When the TEST pushbutton is released, theDISCH lights go off, with a time delay of 2 seconds,and the SMOKE lights go off, with a time delay of 10seconds. The ECAM message disappears and will beautomatically repeated with the warning indicationsfor approximately 6 seconds.

An ambient smoke detector is installed on eachlavatory, located in the ceiling panel, beside the airextraction duct. The lavatory smoke detectors areinterconnected to each other. They are part of a loop,containing the cargo smoke detectors (if cargo smokedetection is installed), which is connected to theSmoke Detection Control Unit (SDCU).The smoke detector is a photo-electric cell smokedetector based on the principle of reverse scatteredlight.


In case of a detected lavatory smoke, the SmokeDetection Control Unit (SDCU) activates the smokewarnings in the cockpit and the passenger cabin. TheSmoke Detection Control Unit (SDCU) monitors all thelavatory smoke detectors.

SMOKE WARNINGS

The Smoke Detection Control Unit sends the lavatorysmoke warning signals to the ECAM and CabinIntercommunication Data System (CIDS). It alsoprovides the fault messages to the Centralized FaultDisplay System (CFDS). An option disables lavatorywarnings on the ECAM. Note that for lavatory fireextinguishing, a cabin portable fire extinguisher mustbe used.
