MAIN DECK FIRE SUPPRESSION
The Ventura Aerospace Fire Suppression System utilizes Ansul Cargo Foam® to suppress cargo fires by displacing oxygen and absorbing heat. The Fire Suppression System injects foam directly into the cargo container with a fire using a specially developed puncture system. The Fire Suppression System uses a fully autonomous control system that detects the heat of the fire and initiates suppression. The Cargo Foam® based fire suppression is more effective than current Halon® 1301 based systems. Cargo Foam® has been shown to be effective on Class D fires which includes lithium based battery fires. Testing has shown that Halon intensifies lithium battery fires, Cargo Foam® suppresses such fires. The Ventura Aerospace Fire Suppression System is highly adaptable to aircraft types and loading configurations. Fire suppression systems are currently available for MD-11F and DC/MD-10F configurations. A 777F fire suppression system is currently under development. Lower deck fire suppression systems are also being developed.
