Abstract: A fire suppression system in an aircraft includes a first nozzle within a region to perform discharge of a fire suppression agent in a first direction within a region. The systems also includes a second nozzle within the region to perform discharge of the fire suppression agent in a second direction within the region. The discharge in the first direction by the first nozzle and the discharge in the second direction by the second nozzle generate and maintain a vortex of the fire suppression agent that occupies the region with rotational flow.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an aerosol concentration sensor calibration device includes a mixing column, a sensor, and a collection vessel. The mixing column extends in a vertical orientation between an inlet at a bottom of the mixing column and an outlet at a top of the mixing column, the mixing column configured to receive a mixture of a powder and a compressed gas at the inlet. The sensor is disposed in the mixing column and configured to measure the concentration of the powder in the mixing column. The collection vessel has an inlet fluidly coupled to the outlet of the mixing column. The collection vessel is configured to collect the powder received from the mixing column.

Abstract: A system includes a pressure vessel defining an interior space with a discharge outlet. A valve or burst disc is connected in fluid communication with the discharge outlet. Discharge piping is included in fluid communication with the valve or burst disc to receive discharge from the interior space. One or more discharge nozzles are in fluid commination with discharge piping for issuing a spray from the discharge piping into the environment external of the pressure vessel. A mixture of liquid Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and a dry chemical fire extinguishing agent is housed under pressure within the interior space.
