MAINTENANCE MANUAL
A. Extinguishing
1. Description and Operation
Eachengine fire extinguishing system consists of a spherical container (bottle) storing a fire
extinguishingagent(Halon 1301) chargedto 360 +25 -0 psig at 70°F with dry nitrogen. A pressure
gauge mounted on the side of the bottle indicates the internal (charged) pressure. Each bottle is
mountedon the right side of each rear fire seal in the accessory sectionof the engine nacelles. A
main discharge pipe extends from a valve on the bottom of the bottle forward through rear and
frontfire seals to the hot section of the engine. An additional tube extends from the main
dischargepipe, passes aft through the rear fire seal,and terminatesat the top of the engine
accessorysection.
An electrically operated cartridge (firing squib), screwed into the discharge valve at the base of the
bottle, provides a release for the extinguishingagent. When the switch in the cockpit is actuated,
the firing squib in the discharge valve is detonated and punctures the seal in the discharge valve
that allows the release of extinguishing agentthrough pipes. The container (bottle) also has a
combinationfill fitting and safety relief valve assembly. If ambient temperaturerises abnormally
(215°Fto 226°F), a fusible check valve within the fill fitting melts, relievingcontents of container
(bottle) and avoiding possible bursting of container.
