Aircraft Fire Trainer

Aircraft Fire Trainer are designed to recreate a series of different emergency scenarios, including interior and exterior incident fires and large-scale fuel spill fires on airplanes, all managed by an adjacent control tower and PC control station. Inside, a series of fires can be accessed by a series of doors on multiple levels, helping to develop realistic rescue scenarios.

Aircraft Fire Trainers are fully programmable, and automatically respond to the application of extinguishing media, for a realistic fire response.

Fire simulations utilize clean burning propane. Alternately, "dual-fueled" fire simulations are available that burn either kerosene for maximum realism or propane for environmental compliance.

Summary

co-ax® valves are used to release propane or liquid fuel to the plane mock-up shown in the picture. The fuel is ignited and the fire is extinguished by fire fighting trainees. They use water to extinguish the flames. Water also keeps the mock-up from distorting. The co-ax® valves are submerged under the gravel and water in the bottom of the pool.

Why are co-ax® valves the preferred choice?

• Positive shut-off.
• Fast open/closing speed  < 100 milliseconds required.
• Compact size.
• Valves (externally controlled) can be buried in a pit.

Typical co-ax® valves being used in this application

• VMK 20 NC
• VFK 25 NC
• MK 10 NC 1E

co-ax® valves for polyol applications

co-ax® valves being used in this application

• PCS-1 10, PCS-1 15, PCS-2 10, PCS-2 15, PCS-3 15, PCB-1 10, PCD-1 10 - cartridge valves, externally controlled KB 15 direct acting valves
• VMK-H 15, VMK-H 15 DR, VMK-H 20, VMK-H 25, VSV-M 50

co-ax® valves are used to inject polyol, which then blends together with isocyanates to create a chemical compound called polyurethanes.

The mixture of the chemicals form molds for many different applications, which are used to create mattresses, foam insulation for refrigerators and freezers, home and automotive seats, elastomeric shoe soles, fibers (e.g. Spandex), and adhesives.

Isocyanates, when exposed to air, tend to form crystals that generate premature wear in valves, especially those containing abrasive fillers and they are equally destructive to the seals and seat.

Multiple co-ax® valves have been designed and sold for polyol applications. The fast actuation speeds of the co-ax® valve combined with high cycle life and virtually no maintenance are key advantages for this application.

Why are co-ax® valves the preferred choice?

• Fast actuation
• Engineered for long life (high cycle life)
• Pressure balanced design
