On some engines a fireproof bulkhead is also provided to separate the 'cool' area or zone of the engine, which contains the fuel, oil, hydraulic and electrical systems, from the 'hot' area surrounding the combustion, turbine and exhaust sections of the engine. Differential pressures can be created in the two zones by calibration of the inlet and outlet apertures to prevent the spread of fire from the hot zone.

Fig. 14-2 shows a more complex cooling and ventilation system used on a turbo-fan engine. Air is induced from the intake duct and also delivered from the fan to provide multi-zone cooling, each zone having its own calibrated cooling flow.
Fire protection
FIRE DETECTION
11.
The rapid detection of a fire is essential to minimize the fire period before engine shut-down drill and release of extinguishant is effected. It is also extremely important that a fire detection system will not give a false fire warning resulting from short circuiting caused by chafing or the ingress of moisture in the case of electrically operated systems and chafes of the capillary resulting in loss of the contained gas in the case of the gas filled continuous element sensing type,
12.
A detection system may consist of a number of strategically located detector units, or be of the continuous element (gas filled or electrical) sensing type that can be shaped and attached to pre-formed tubes. The sensing element can be routed across outlet orifices, such as a zone extractor ventilation duct, to give early detection of a fire (fig. 14-3).
13.
In the case of electrical systems the presence of a fire is signalled by a change in the electrical char-acteristics of the detector circuit, according to the type of detector, be it thermistor, thermocouple or electrical continuous element. In these cases the change in temperature creates the signal which, through an amplifier, operates the warning indicator.
14.
Both the thermocouple and thermistor detectors have properties making them ideally suited to this application. The thermocouple comprises two dissimilar metals which are joined together to form two junctions. As the temperature difference between the two junctions increases an E.M.F. is produced in the circuit and it is this E.M.F. that triggers the fire

11.在发动机停车打开灭火瓶并释放灭火剂之前,迅速探测出着火对尽量缩短着火时间是十分关键的。特别重要的是火警探测系统不要给出假警报,假警报通常是由于电气工作系统受摩擦或湿气侵入引起短路所致,或是在使用充满气体的连续测温感应头时,它的毛细管擦伤引起管内气体损失而造成的。

12.探测系统可包括许多位于关键部位的探测器装置,或是探测型连续元件(充满气体的或电气的),这种元件可以做成一定形状并且连接在预先形成的管子上。探测元件可穿过排气孔布置,例如区域抽气通风管,以便及早探测出起火(图14-3)。
13.对于电器系统,起火是通过探测器线路的电气特性变化来感受,根据探测器的类型,它可是热敏电阻、热电偶或电气连续元件。在这些情况下,温度的变化产生信号,信号通过放大器启动报警指示器。
