CONT

One characteristic of a dry-pipe system is a delay in time between the opening of a sprinkler and the discharge of water, which may allow the fire to spread and more sprinklers to open. The delay is due to the time required to exhaust the air from the sprinkler piping. The difficulty may be partly overcome by installation of quick-opening devices which either increase the rate of discharge of air from the piping or accelerate opening of the dry valve when one or more sprinklers operate, depending upon the type of device used.

OBS

quick-opening device: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

(1) The radio rack venturi restrictor valve is installed in the forward end of the left utility tunnel. The valve is positioned upstream from the venturi, and functions to limit the amount of air discharged overboard. The valve is driven closed when the radio rack fan relay is energized, and is controlled by the same circuits as the fan. The valve is always closed when the airplane is on the ground.(2) The valve is a butterfly-type with clearance between the butterfly and the housing. In the closed position(butterfly positioned 90 degrees to airflow), the valve allows approximately 10 pounds of air per minute to flow through the discharge venturi. In the open position the airflow to the venturi is increased to approximately 20 pounds per minute. The valve actuator is operated by a 115-volt, 400-cycle electric motor. The actuator contains limit switches to stop the valve in the closed position, and to limit the rotation of the butterfly to 30 degrees when in the open position.

CONT

Ventilating air for cooling the generator, the oil cooler, and the APU compartment is obtained from the aft accessory compartment and is ducted through a fire isolation valve into the APU enclosure.... The remainder of the ventilating air is ducted into the APU-driven cooling fan which forces the air through the APU oil cooler into the general compartment. Some of the fan air is diverted from the oil cooler into a distribution duct which directs cooling air to the APU enclosure. The compartment is vented through a sound suppressing muffler and thence overboard by an air discharge duct.

These fluids are equally distributed by means of orifices throughout the entire length of the filter. Filtrate outlet pipes and wash-water and scour air inlet pipes discharge into this channel the sloping roof of which serves as a raft for the wash-water discharge channel equipped with its outlet valve located opposite the front of the filter.
