A320-Fire Protection

This document provides information about the fire protection system for the engines and auxiliary power unit (APU) on an aircraft. It consists of gas detection loops with sensing elements in the engine and APU compartments that trigger the fire warning system when temperatures reach a preset level. The system has redundant A and B loops so a single fault does not disable detection. It can automatically shut down the APU and discharge extinguishing agent if a fire is detected on the ground.

I DESCRIPTION I
DETECTION

The engines and the APU each have a fire and overheat detection system consisting of :
- Two identical gas detection loops (A and B) mounted in parallel.
- A Fire Detection Unit (FDU).
The gas detection loops consist of :
- Three sensing elements for each engine, one in the pylon nacelle, one in the engine core
and one in the engine fan section.
- One sensing element in the APU compartment.
When a sensing element is subjected to heat, it sends a signal to the fire detection unit.
R As soon as loops A and B detect temperature at a preset level, they trigger the fire warning
system.
A fault in one loop (break or loss of electrical supply) does not affect the warning system.
The unaffected loop still protects the aircraft.
If the system detects an APU fire while the aircraft is on the ground, it shuts down th0e
APU automatically and discharges extinguishing agent.
